Tucking your hair behind one ear while you wait for a table is the moment a criss-cross stud gets noticed. Two slim gold arms cross in a small X that wraps the lobe, so the earring shows shape from the front and the side.

Ana Luisa dips the criss-cross in 14K gold and fits it with titanium posts. The crossed arms give a stud real architecture, so it works as the one earring you wear when the outfit already has plenty going on. Wear it alone for a clean ear, or set a second small piece beside it when the day calls for more.
