My favorite earrings that I can wear for months at a time are small huggie hoops. I have sets in both yellow and white gold. Way more comfortable for sleeping than studs. And somehow shampoo, etc., rinses out better than the small screw-back studs I wore for the last few days.

QVC sells some nice collections of studs/small earrings.

Small pearls, classic.

Are you planning on taking them out? If not, I would look at flat back/labret studs. There are a lot of different types; mine are in cartilage piercings, but either way I don’t notice them when I sleep.

Where do you buy your screw back studs?

This sounds nice! Link, please? Really I need a 14k gold flat stud for daily wear, because I am allergic to materials that aren't gold.

I wear these everyday.

I wear David Yurman pearl earrings with diamonds most days.

I have tanzanite in gold studs, aquamarine in gold, silver knots, white gold ball studs, pearls, white opal with diamonds, Pink opal with diamonds...why a uniform? Why the same pair every day?

I wear small hoops everyday, too. As a side sleeper, it’s more comfortable for me to sleep in since I don’t have the back of the earring pushing into my head when I lay down.

yes! stud earrings are pretty & you can wear it everyday. Even my wife wears it daily. It is so adorable.

I'm also frugal and minimalist with jewelry. I rotate between pearls and gemstones my DH gets for me each year from Amazon or Blue Nile. They're like $60/pair and I have aquamarine, opal, and amethyst (all birthstones in our family). I also have a pair of gold studs I wear with statement necklaces since they seem to all be gold.

Me too.
