Choose the black CZ or red garnet rose if you want a compact flower. Both roses are listed at about 8 × 8 mm. For a taller silhouette, choose the rose-crowned skull. Its face is listed at about 8 × 11 mm, with the red stone on the forehead.
All three are sterling silver studs with straight posts and butterfly backs. Start with the shape you want to see from the front, then decide where you want the color to sit.
Compare the three studs side by side
| Design | Face size | Stone placement |
|---|---|---|
| Black CZ rose | 8 × 8 mm | Black cubic zirconia at the flower center |
| Red garnet rose | 8 × 8 mm | Red garnet at the flower center |
| Rose-crowned skull | 8 × 11 mm | Red garnet on the forehead |
Black or red at the same listed size
Both flower studs have layered silver petals and a small leaf. On the black CZ rose, the center echoes the dark recesses between the petals, so the silver edges do much of the outlining. The red garnet rose puts a point of color inside the same listed 8 × 8 mm face size. Open the front views side by side to see which balance of dark metal and color you prefer.

View detailsWhen the taller skull suits your style
On the skull stud, the small roses sit above the eye sockets. The red garnet sits on the forehead and the jaw carries the outline downward. Its longest listed face dimension is about 3 mm greater than the roses’. Choose it if you want the skull to be the first detail you see. The red rose gives you a garnet inside the flower itself.

View detailsCompare with a stud you already own
Lay a familiar stud face up beside a millimeter ruler. Measure across its widest point and from its top edge to its bottom edge. Compare those two numbers with the table, then use the product’s front view to check where the leaf or jaw extends beyond the main shape. The side view can show how the face projects from the post.
For a stud you wear near the edge of your lobe, look at where its post sits behind the face. That placement affects how much of the face sits below the piercing. The three listings give the overall dimensions, so ask for the post-to-edge distance if that detail will decide your purchase.
All three are sold as matching pairs. If you are mixing one of these with a stud sold individually, check our guide to ordering a single earring or a pair. To compare front and side views before choosing, browse the Rose Earrings collection.
