In Short
Post earrings fasten through the ear with a straight post and backing, so they sit close to the lobe and stay secure through the day.
What Is This Collection?
A post earring, also called a stud, fastens with a straight metal post that passes through the piercing and is held by a backing, rather than hooking through like a French wire. Every piece is handcrafted by John S. Brana in his San Francisco studio.
What This Collection Includes
Vermeil fleur-de-lis posts with gemstone briolettes, plain metal posts and small decorative designs in silver and gold-toned metals.
How the pieces differ
Designs differ by whether anything hangs below the post, and by the size of the decorative top.
Who this collection suits
Anyone who wants secure earrings for work, travel or sleep-adjacent wear, and people who dislike dangling designs.

- You want presence without length – choose a larger decorative top and check the weight sits comfortably.
- You have sensitive ears – look for sterling silver or gold-filled posts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the difference between a post earring and a drop?
A post fastens with a straight pin and backing through the piercing. A drop usually hooks through with a French wire and hangs more freely.
Q2. Are post earrings better for sensitive ears?
Often, since there is less movement in the piercing. The metal matters more than the fitting, so look for sterling silver or gold-filled posts.
Q3. Can post earrings have a hanging element?
Yes. Several designs here fasten with a post but suspend a gemstone briolette below it, giving movement with a secure fitting.
Q4. Are posts suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. They are the most secure style and sit close to the lobe, which makes them practical for work, travel and busy days.
