The stud. A term that references a fashion staple that includes countless varieties in different colors, shapes, and sizes but that always have at least one thing in common: exuding toughness. Of course that probably comes from their association with ancient fighters and gladiators wearing them into battle, but nowadays they can be found on everything from
suede evening bags to
luxe golden rings to
sky-high stilettos. And whether you like studs
large and tough or
dainty and delicate, there's something out there for every appetite. See a little of what I found in
the gallery below.
