Ear Tops or Ear Studs are the ornaments worn on the ears. These are worn into the piercing done on the earlobes. There are ear tops and studs available for pierced as well as non-pierced ears too. The ear tops and studs designs can be different in many ways. There are real gold, diamond ear studs, silver or platinum ear tops as well as the ones in metals, copper, plastic, etc. The main idea behind wearing an ear stud or top is to adorn the ears and these look like they are floating over the earlobe.
