At Dwell Refine, we’re always drawn to brands that take everyday essentials and rethink them with intention—and that’s exactly what Studs has done with modern jewelry.
Founded in 2019, Studs set out to completely rethink the ear piercing and earring experience. Instead of the traditional mall kiosk model, the brand combines elevated jewelry design with a safe, thoughtfully designed piercing process.
The result is a brand that feels equal parts jewelry label and style studio—one where self-expression, quality materials, and personalization come together.
The Art of “Earscaping”
One of the concepts that helped put Studs on the map is earscaping—a curated approach to styling multiple earrings across the ear.
Rather than treating earrings as a single accessory, earscaping encourages layering: mixing studs, hoops, huggies, and tiny charms to build a look that evolves over time.
The idea is simple but powerful: your ear becomes its own canvas.
Studs makes this process approachable by designing earrings that naturally pair together, allowing people to experiment with different combinations while still maintaining a cohesive look.
Modern Jewelry, Made Personal
Studs offers a wide range of earrings—from minimal everyday studs to playful, trend-forward designs.
The brand is especially known for its 14k gold flatback earrings, which are designed for comfortable, all-day wear. Flatbacks sit flush against the ear, making them ideal for sleeping, layering, and newly healed piercings.
Across the collection, the aesthetic strikes a balance between classic and expressive. Many pieces are intentionally small and refined, making them easy to mix, stack, and wear daily without feeling overwhelming.
It’s jewelry designed not for special occasions—but for real life.
A New Standard for Ear Piercing
Beyond jewelry, Studs has also built a reputation for its modern piercing studios.
Unlike traditional piercing setups that rely on piercing guns, Studs uses single-use sterile needles, a method widely considered safer and more precise.
The studios themselves feel closer to a beauty boutique than a typical piercing shop—clean, welcoming, and designed around education and aftercare. Piercers guide customers through jewelry choices, placement options, and healing recommendations so the experience feels both safe and personal.
This attention to detail has helped transform ear piercing from something purely functional into something more intentional.
Why Studs Stands Out
In a world of fast fashion accessories, Studs brings a more thoughtful approach to jewelry.
Rather than chasing trends, the brand focuses on buildable collections—pieces that work together and evolve over time as your style changes.
It’s not just about buying earrings.
It’s about curating a look that reflects your personality.
At Dwell Refine, we’re always interested in brands that elevate everyday rituals. Studs does exactly that—turning something as simple as earrings into a form of personal style.
