Lotus pronged studs with semiprecious stones

Lotus Studs – Pronged Lotus Stud Earrings with Semi-Precious Stones

Some earrings ask for an occasion. These lotus studs don't. Built on an octagonal Art Deco frame with eight lotus-petal prongs cradling a single semi-precious stone, they're small enough for a Monday morning and considered enough for a Saturday night.

Each pair is handmade in India, one prong at a time. The petals aren't printed or stamped on — they're formed to hold the stone, so the flower and the setting are the same piece of craftsmanship. A fine floral railing runs around the octagon, the kind of detail you only notice up close, which is exactly where earrings are noticed.

Why these lotus studs work for everyday and occasion wear

• Genuinely lightweight. A brass base keeps the weight off your lobe, so you can wear them through a full workday without that end-of-day drag.
• Secure push-back clasp. No screw-backs to fiddle with, no butterfly backs that wander off in your hair.
• Second-piercing friendly. Compact enough to stack above a hoop or below a bigger statement earring.
• Neutral by design. The octagon reads geometric, the petals read floral — so they sit comfortably with a saree, a kurta, or a linen shirt.

Design details

Octagonal (octo-shaped) silhouette. Eight lotus-petal prongs. Central semi-precious colour stone. Floral railing border. Art Deco inspired proportions with a distinctly Indian motif at the centre — the lotus, a symbol of purity and of something beautiful rising out of difficult ground.

Materials, finish and fit

Brass base with quality plating. Semi-precious colour stones, prong-set (not glued). Push-back closure. Handmade in India, which means small variations in stone tone between pairs — that's the signature of handwork, not a flaw.

Styling your lotus stud earrings

Wear them solo with a high neckline to let the petals do the talking. Pair them with a thin chain and a stacked ring set for a layered, low-effort look. For festive wear, let the lotus studs be the quiet note against heavier kundan or polki pieces — contrast reads more expensive than matching.

Gifting

A safe, well-judged gift: no size to guess, no strong statement to get wrong. Suited to birthdays, anniversaries, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali and bridesmaid thank-yous. Arrives gift-ready.

Caring for your lotus studs

Last on, first off. Keep them away from perfume, hairspray and water, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store them in the pouch they arrive in. Full guidance is in our Jewelry Care Guidelines.

FAQs

Q1. What are lotus studs? Lotus studs are small stud earrings shaped around the lotus flower motif. On this pair, eight lotus-petal prongs form the setting itself and hold a single semi-precious stone at the centre, on an octagonal Art Deco frame.

Q2. What does the lotus symbolise in jewellery? The lotus grows out of muddy water and opens clean — so across Indian, Buddhist and Egyptian traditions it stands for purity, resilience and new beginnings. That makes lotus stud earrings a meaningful gift as well as a pretty one.

Q3. Are these lotus studs suitable for daily wear? Yes. The brass base keeps them light, the push-back clasp holds securely, and the compact size sits flat enough to wear under headphones or a helmet without pressing.

Q4. What are these lotus stud earrings made of? A lightweight brass base with quality plating, set with semi-precious colour stones held in prongs rather than glued.

Q5. Are brass earrings safe for sensitive ears? Plated brass suits most people, but if you have a known nickel allergy or react to fashion jewellery, do a short wear-test first. Keeping the plating intact — no perfume, no water, no sleeping in them — also keeps them comfortable for longer.
