What type of earrings are authorized for females?

• A. Hoop earrings in gold or silver
• B. Stud-type earrings only
• C. Screw-on, clip-on, or post-type earrings in gold, silver, white pearl, or diamond, not exceeding 6 mm diameter
• D. No earrings are authorized for females

Answer: (C)

Under AR 670-1, female personnel may wear small, conservative earrings, with clear limits on type, material, and size. The best choice matches these rules by allowing screw-on, clip-on, or post-type earrings in gold, silver, white pearl, or diamond, not exceeding 6 mm in diameter. This combination keeps earrings unobtrusive and appropriate for a uniformed appearance, focusing on secure, simple designs that sit on the earlobe. Hoop earrings are not listed as an authorized form, and options that restrict to just studs or deny earrings don’t reflect the full allowance. The size cap and material options together illustrate the regulation’s intent to balance personal appearance with uniform standards.
