Steampunk Fashion: Stylish Stud Earrings

Happy Friday! Now, like most of you ladies out there, I'm a huge fan of jewelry and accessories. Especially bracelets and rings; I can't get enough of 'em. However, I've never been hugely into earrings. It has nothing to do with how they look and everything to do with comfort. If I do happen to wear a dangly set of earrings, they have to be pretty light in weight, otherwise, they just bug me. I also have this silly fear that I'll be wearing them, and I'll accidentally pull one out of my ear or something. Ouch! I guess I have a thing with ears, because I can hardly look at those huge spacers that all of the guys and girls are wearing these days. Ahhh...they just look painful!

So when I do happen to wear earrings, they're almost always very simple stud earrings. Boring, I know...but I've been noticing that lately, many jewelry designers have been jazzing up their stud earrings a bit more than usual! I personally think that stud earrings can be really elegant, and I have a feeling that they're are going to make a huge comeback this season. I just bought the heart shaped gold ones I've featured below! Here are some of my favorites so far.
