Pori Jewelers 14K Solid Gold Ball Studs vs 14k Solid Gold Everyday Hoop Earrings

Buy the Pori ball studs if you want a small, secure, classic earring that stays put and suits a second hole or a first piercing on a child or adult. Buy the Everyday Hoops if you want one pair to wear all day, in the shower and to sleep, and you prefer a visible hoop look. The Pori studs are solid 14K with butterfly backs and a 4.3 rating from 193 buyers; the Italian hoops are hollow 14K click hoops, lighter at 1.1 g in 20 mm, and sold on being tarnish resistant and shower safe. Build differs: solid balls versus hollow tubing, so the hoops dent more easily if crushed, while the studs are simpler and harder to damage.

• Choose the Pori Jewelers ball studs if you want a tiny 3 mm solid gold stud with a butterfly back that sits flush and won't catch on hair or masks.
• Choose the Everyday Hoops if you want a 20 mm hoop you can leave in through showers, workouts and sleep without taking it off.
