Horse Stud Earrings or Dangles: Which to Choose

Choose studs if you want one pair to wear every day, riding included. Choose dangles if you want movement for evenings, show days, and dinners out.

Studs, Our Best Seller

Among horse earrings, small horse head studs are the usual choice for everyday wear, and our sterling silver pair is a best seller. They sit flat against the ear on secure posts and backs, so they can stay in from morning barn chores to the office.

The Gilded Horse Stud Earrings come in sterling silver at 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm, and in 14K gold-plated sterling at 8mm. The solid 14K gold and 14K white gold pair comes in 8mm. The Beaded Border Stud Earrings add a hand-finished beaded edge in sterling at 15mm, with friction backs.

Size changes the look more than the style does. The 8mm studs are barely there, 10mm reads clearly, and 13mm or the 15mm beaded border pair makes a statement. The 8mm and 10mm sizes are subtle enough for women, men, and younger riders.

Diamond Border Studs

Our Diamond Border Stud Earrings set the Medallion inside a border of diamonds, in 14K gold or 14K white gold at 10mm. Choose them when you want a stud that dresses up for an evening and stays quiet enough for the barn.

Dangles

Dangles add a little movement and read more dressed up. The Gilded Horse Dangle Earrings come in sterling silver on French wires, or in solid 14K gold and 14K white gold on clip-in lever backs, which close fully and hold securely. Both come in 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm.

The Beaded Border Dangle Earrings come in sterling silver at 15mm and 19mm, on French wires or lever backs, with nickel-free hardware. The 19mm is our boldest pair. For horse show earrings, wear small studs with your show coat and stock tie, and save the dangles for after the class.

Horse Earrings in Gold or Sterling Silver

Pick gold for the lowest-maintenance pair and sterling for the widest choice of styles and sizes.

  • Solid 14K gold and 14K white gold do not tarnish and can be worn in the shower. Studs come in 8mm, dangles in 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm, and the Diamond Border studs in 10mm.
  • .925 sterling silver comes in studs and dangles from 8mm to 13mm, plus beaded border pairs up to 19mm. It tarnishes slowly, and a polishing cloth brings the shine back.
  • 14K gold-plated sterling silver gives the warmth of gold on the 8mm Medallion studs. Keep it dry, since the gold layer is thin.

For horse earrings in gold that you never have to take off, solid 14K is the one to choose. Sterling is the better pick if you want to try sizes, build a set with a matching necklace, or keep the price lower.

Sizing for Girls and Younger Riders

For horse earrings for girls, start small. The 8mm Medallion studs suit smaller ears and sit neatly under a junior riding helmet. Sterling silver makes an easy first pair that goes with everyday clothes and a show shirt alike.

Solid gold studs at 8mm make a keepsake for a milestone, such as a first show, a first horse, or a birthday. Solid gold does not tarnish, so a girl can keep wearing that first pair as a grown woman. Every pair arrives in gift-ready packaging, so it is ready to give.

Building a Matching Set

The Medallion is the same on every piece, so earrings are the easiest way to finish a set. Pair your studs with a horse necklace in the same metal, then add a horse bracelet for a coordinated look.

Metals can also be mixed. Sterling studs with a solid gold pendant still read as one set, because the same horse head ties them together.

Horse Earrings Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, if you choose studs. Our Medallion studs are lightweight discs that sit flat against the ear on secure posts and backs. That leaves little for a helmet harness to catch on. The 8mm and 10mm sizes sit closest. Dangles can catch on straps, so save them for after you ride.

  • Horse earrings are popular with equestrians and anyone who loves horses, and the two most common styles are horse head and horseshoe designs. Horseshoe earrings are usually worn as a good luck symbol. Horse head earrings range from realistic, sculpted silhouettes to minimalist designs. Ours are minimalist horse head earrings: an engraved horse head inside a polished disc, made as studs and dangles.

  • Look for solid gold or sterling silver earring jewelry rather than plated base metal, since the post sits in the piercing all day. Our earrings are solid 14K gold, 14K white gold, or .925 sterling silver, and our gold-plated studs sit on a sterling base, never brass. If plated jewelry has bothered you before, solid 14K gold is the most gold-rich metal we offer.

  • Yes, slowly. Sterling darkens with air and moisture over time, and a polishing cloth brings it back in moments. Taking earrings out before you shower or swim slows the change. Our FAQ page covers how each metal wears.

  • Yes. 14K gold is real gold, mixed with other metals so it stands up to daily wear. Our solid gold studs and dangles are 14K all the way through, in yellow or white gold. The gold-plated studs carry a thin 14K layer over sterling silver instead.

  • Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. When it darkens, use a silver polishing cloth or a baking soda paste, then rinse and dry it well. Keep sterling earrings away from lotion, perfume, and chlorinated or salt water. Our jewelry care page has the full routine for each metal.

  • Yes. 5% of our net revenue helps save and rehabilitate horses across Kentucky. Supporting the Kentucky Horse Council and the Kentucky Equine Adoption Center. You can read more about the partnership on our Give Back page.
