Studs or Dangles? Choosing Your Everyday Jewellery

Some mornings it feels easy to decide what to wear. Other days it begins with a small question — is today a stud kind of day, or a dangle kind of day?

At Fields and Seas, I design handmade porcelain jewellery on Phillip Island that celebrates both moods. Whether you are drawn to quiet simplicity or joyful movement, our earrings are made to shift with the rhythms of life.

The Case for Stud Earrings

Stud earrings have always been a timeless choice. They sit close to the ear, creating an understated look that still carries impact. Our Tide + Form Cobalt Cross Porcelain Studs are a perfect example. Each pair is handcrafted from fine porcelain, featuring a matte finish and a cobalt cross design. They are light, elegant, and versatile enough for everyday wear.

When to Wear Studs:

• Workdays when you want polish without distraction
• Minimalist outfits that call for subtle detail
• Everyday comfort and style

Studs allow you to embrace quiet elegance, a reminder that jewellery does not have to be loud to be powerful.

The Case for Dangle Earrings

Dangle earrings bring play, movement, and a touch of drama. Our Flow Dangles are handmade from polymer clay, shaped and finished by hand so no two pairs are ever the same. Light on the ears and flowing with your movement, they carry an energy that studs keep hidden.

When to Wear Dangles:

• Evenings out when you want to stand out
• Days when you feel playful and bold
• Outfits that need a statement accessory

Dangles are jewellery with personality. They sway as you move and bring lightness to the everyday.

How to Style Studs and Dangles

The beauty of Australian-made earrings is that you can wear them in many ways. Studs pair perfectly with layered necklaces, soft linen shirts, or simple dresses where you want balance. Dangles complement flowing fabrics, bold prints, or evenings where you want your jewellery to do the talking.

You can even layer your look. Many of our customers wear studs in their second piercing and dangles in the first, creating a balanced style that feels both elegant and playful.

Slow Made Jewellery Inspired by Nature

At Fields and Seas, every pair of earrings is designed and made by hand in small batches. Each stud and each dangle carries its own character. This is slow made jewellery, inspired by the tides, forms, and textures of Phillip Island.

When you choose between studs or dangles, you are not just deciding on earrings. You are choosing how you want to feel today. Quiet and grounded. Playful and bold. Or sometimes, a little bit of both.
