Earring

Officially Licensed Earrings, Crest Studs and Character Drops

Split fairly evenly between club and character, and mostly small pieces. Crest stud sets cover Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham and Real Madrid, with Arsenal also offering gold-finish cannon hoops. The character side leans on Harry Potter — Time Turner studs and hooks, Golden Snitch and Platform 9 & 3 Quarters designs, several sold boxed with a matching necklace — plus Pusheen drop earrings.

Studs or drops?

Studs are the safer gift by some distance. They suit any age, they sit under a hat or a headset, and a crest stud reads as jewellery rather than merchandise. Drops and hooks are more of a going-out piece and a stronger statement, so they need to match someone you know wears them. The boxed necklace-and-earring sets are the ones to choose when you want the gift to look complete without wrapping.

What are the posts made of?

Worth checking on any earring gift, because that is what sits in the skin. These use plated or steel posts rather than raw base metal, which is what keeps them comfortable for wearers who react to lower-grade findings.
