Summary: This guide brings together GREMARI earring styles, with photos to help you compare the designs. You will also find a simple clasp chart and advice on choosing a comfortable fit.
Clover studs, gold drops and diamond solitaires each bring something different to your look. Their clasps matter too: they hold the earrings in place and influence how they sit and feel on your ears.
Find your GREMARI earring style
Clover earrings
The four-leaf clover is a recognisable motif, whether you prefer a dark centre, a light finish or the soft sheen of mother-of-pearl. Small clover studs add a decorative detail close to the ear. The double-sided onyx design gives the same motif a hanging shape.
Style and clasp: The studs have a post fastening, while the double-sided clover earrings have an English clasp. Choose the shape you like, then consider whether you want a close-to-the-ear look or a drop.
Bead and ball earrings
A simple ball can look quite different depending on its finish. Smooth gold has a polished shine, while diamond-cut surfaces catch the light through small facets. GREMARI examples include compact ball studs, a single gold stud and bead drops on curved wires.
Style and clasp: Studs keep the ball near the earlobe. A closed French hook places it below the piercing, giving it room to move. The single stud shown here is sold individually.
Tennis earrings and climbers
A row of stones creates a different effect from a single diamond. Tennis earrings are known for that continuous line of sparkle, while climbers are shaped to follow the ear upwards. The examples below show GREMARI's straight diamond bar studs, including white and yellow gold versions with lab-grown diamonds. Explore the Tennis / Climbers collection for this line-of-stones look.
Style and clasp: All four shown designs have stud fastenings. Their straight line of stones extends below the piercing.
Teardrop earrings
Drop earrings bring the design below the piercing, from a rounded teardrop to a longer sequence of gold shapes. Some sit still against the ear; others have a joint that lets the lower detail sway. Smooth surfaces give a clean shine, while diamond-cut textures add reflected light.
Style and clasp: These examples show why a style does not have just one clasp: the first three use stud fastenings, and the fourth has an English clasp. A teardrop shape can be a stud as well as a hanging earring.
Stone-set huggie earrings
Huggies are small hoops designed to sit close to the earlobe. These compact GREMARI designs add cubic zirconia to the front, from a single red stone to a row of clear or coloured stones. Their curved shape makes them a useful choice when you like the look of hoops on a smaller scale.
Style and clasp: Several shown designs have an English clasp with an attached hinged back. Check each pair's dimensions and closure: a small hoop still needs enough room for your earlobe.
Heart earrings
A heart can be the whole earring or a small detail within a larger design. GREMARI's selection ranges from polished heart studs to hoops with heart charms, fine chain threaders and zirconia-set heart hoops. It is a way to choose one motif in very different shapes.
Style and clasp: Here, the fastening changes with the design: posts for the studs, hoop closures for the Creole designs and a chain that passes through the piercing for the threaders.
Chunky earrings
Chunky earrings stand out through their wider shape, rounded volume or bold outline. The examples below include smooth gold rectangles, square forms and silver paperclip-style earrings. Their clean surfaces make the shape itself the focus.
Chunky silver paperclip-style earringsStyle and clasp: The three gold designs have English clasps; the silver pair has a stud fastening. A bold look does not tell you how heavy a pair will feel, so compare the listed weight as well as the dimensions.
Solitaire diamond earrings
Solitaire earrings feature one main stone in each earring. These diamond studs keep the focus on the stone, with yellow gold adding warmth and white gold giving a cooler finish. Black diamonds add a deeper contrast against yellow gold. Compare the setting as well as the diamond size: both affect the look on the ear.
Style and clasp: All four shown pairs use stud fastenings. The carat weights in the captions are for each diamond, rather than the total for the pair.
Why do earrings have different clasps?
The fastening needs to work with the earring's shape. A stud has a straight post and a separate back. A hoop needs a closure that completes its curve. A chain threader passes through the piercing as part of the design.
There is no rule that an English clasp is only for large or heavy earrings. GREMARI uses it on compact stone-set hoops as well as bolder gold designs. You will also find drop earrings with stud fastenings. Look at the complete earring: its size, weight, shape and closure all contribute to the fit.

How to choose earrings that feel comfortable
- Compare weight and size. A large-looking earring can have a light construction, while a small design can feel more substantial. Use both measurements to compare pairs.
- Allow room for your earlobe. Small hoops should close without squeezing. The fit depends on the hoop's inner space and the position of your piercing.
- Think about movement. Studs offer a more fixed look. Jointed drops and chain threaders move more, which may influence what you enjoy wearing throughout the day.
- Choose a clasp you find easy to use. Some people prefer a separate stud back; others like an attached hinged closure. Fasten it gently and check that it is properly closed.
