Size doesn’t matter, especially when it comes to tiny earrings that make a grand statement. Now that you’re in your 20s, it’s time to update your jewellery box with sophisticated or whimsical studs to help curate your signature style.

Tiny studs, often times sold individually and meant to be mixed and matched, elevate your earring game. They even tell a story. These choice tiny embellishments sum up what it’s like to be in your 20s, when the thrills and pangs of youth feel all-consuming.

Some of tiny jewels cost a pretty penny, but part of “adulting” means finding investment bling you’ll wear all the time. With emoticon-inspired studs and an update on the classic pearl, these statement stud earrings serve as mementos of that time in your life when you are finding yourself.
