The Greatest Earrings of All Time
Amid all the amazing leaps and strides and dives on the athletic world's biggest stage, you may have noticed something small that many of these amazing competitors have in common besides talent and dedication. The biggest trend of the world's biggest stage is clear: brilliant diamond stud earrings. Just the right amount of sparkle to elevate athletic uniforms into style statements, these tiny-but-mighty earrings are lighting up in the spotlight. Simone, Katie, Suni, Rebeca, and many other icons are accessorizing their medals with diamond studs. Here are a few of our favorite stud statements of the games.
Simone Biles in Halo Stud Earrings
The most decorated gymnast in history, a true GOAT, Simone Biles has eleven Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals. At the 2024 Paris Games, she won three golds, bringing her total to seven. But metals aren't the only gold she wears. Simone Biles loves jewelry. And after she won all-around gold, she debuted the most talked-about jewelry piece of the games: a three-dimensional custom goat necklace covered in 546 diamonds.
But Simone's go-to daily jewelry essential is a pair of halo stud earrings. She wears them almost constantly, including during competitions. If you want to get the look without breaking the bank, lab grown diamond halo studs are as beautiful as they are affordable. Brilliant and bright, halo stud earrings light up Simone's face from afar. And the delicate halo detail comes into focus when the camera zooms in. They are the perfect blend of strong and delicate. The love of sparkling studs runs in the family. Simone's husband Jonathan Owens watched her make gymnastics history wearing his own pair of diamond stud earrings. #couplegoals
Katie Ledecky in Classic Studs
In the pool, Katie Ledecky is all business. Her amazing endurance has made her the most decorated American female athlete of all time, with 14 swimming medals, 9 of them gold. What does she wear when she isn’t in the water? Diamond stud earrings, of course. While we can't usually see whether she's wearing these earrings underneath her swim cap, she definitely always shows some sparkle on the podium. What's even more enduring than gold? Diamonds! Her diamond stud earrings are an apt symbol of her lasting legacy of achievement.
Sunisa Lee in Multiple Classic Stud Earrings
Elegant and graceful, all-around gold medalist in Tokyo Sunisa Lee has enviable style. That includes her earrings. Suni wears two pairs of classic stud earrings in graduated sizes. Doubling her earrings gives her double the style. To get the matched-but-not-matched look, pair medium lab diamond studs with four prongs with small lab diamond studs with bezels. Thanks to Suni's legendary comeback story after losing a year of training due to illness, we are inspired to add studs to our studs whenever possible.
Rebeca Andrade in Classic Studs
Floor exercise gold medalist and silver all-around medalist Rebeca Andrade of Brazil won fans all over the world with her amazing performances. Rebecca, too wears classic diamond studs. Her pair has an extended back catch to make sure they stay in place during all her breathtaking leaps and twists.
