The History and Evolution of Post Earrings

Post earrings have been a jewelry staple for centuries, evolving from ancient Egyptian gold hoops to the refined pearl and diamond studs of the Victorian era. In the 20th century, simple designs became synonymous with effortless elegance—think Audrey Hepburn’s signature pearl posts or the understated diamond studs favored by style icons.

Today, stud earrings remain a must-have because:

They’re versatile—equally at home with jeans or a gown.

They offer understated luxury—a single diamond or pearl can speak volumes.

They’re comfortable for everyday wear, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.

At Victoria Bekerman, our post earrings honor this legacy with handmade precision, ensuring each pair feels both timeless and fresh.
