Our take on the Not Your Basic 8mm Studs

The Not Your Basic 8mm Studs are a pair of large, round stud earrings from Melinda Maria, set with 8mm Calicut zirconia in a martini setting and plated in 18k gold over brass. The 8mm stone gives real presence, closer to a cocktail stud than a subtle everyday pair, so they read as a statement rather than a starter earring. Against fine-jewelry diamond studs they trade genuine stones and solid gold for a bolder look at a fraction of the outlay, and against cheaper fashion studs the martini setting and handcrafted finish are the draw. They suit shoppers who want a big, bright stud for events and ear stacks and accept that plated brass needs care to keep its finish.

Questions and answers

Are these real diamonds?
No. The stones are Calicut zirconia, a simulated diamond, set in a martini setting. They are chosen for sparkle and size rather than gem value.
Will the gold plating wear off?
Plating over brass will eventually wear with daily use, especially with perfume, sweat and water. Keep them dry, wipe after wearing and store them separately to extend the finish.
How big are they compared with a standard stud?
The stone is 8mm across, noticeably larger than a typical 3–5mm everyday stud. They read as a statement piece rather than a subtle pair.
Can I wear them in a second or third piercing?
Yes, but the 8mm size is large for a smaller piercing and may crowd neighboring holes. They work best in a first lobe or as the centerpiece of a stack.
What comes in the box?
One pair of stud earrings with earring backs included. Nothing else is in the box.
Are they suitable for sensitive ears?
They are brass with gold plating and zirconia stones, not hypoallergenic titanium or surgical steel. If you react to plated metals, test them briefly first.
