9 ear studs to try when you're tired of hoops

Jewellery trends are a dime a dozen, but the one style that never goes out of style is the ear studs. Apart from its fashion appeal, the ear stud is highly practical. They don't get caught in your hair or earphones, you can wear them to work AND even have them on at the gym. There's also a myriad of choices to choose from — from classic pearl, gold or diamond studs, to oversized pieces in quirky shapes that are a conversation starter.

Here are some cool ones that will give your hoops and dangly earrings a run for their money.
