Silver earrings for the people who are done polishing silver. Every pair in this collection is silver-tone 316L stainless steel, or 18K gold-plated 316L stainless steel. Not sterling silver, and not silver-plated brass. That one decision is the reason you can shower in them, swim in them and leave them on for a month without them going dull, black or green.
Silver-Tone Stainless Steel vs Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is 92.5% fine silver, and fine silver tarnishes — it reacts with air, sweat and sulphur and turns yellow-grey until you polish it. It is also soft, so a thin sterling hoop bends out of shape in a pocket. Our silver-tone finish is a stainless steel core with a bright, cool-toned surface, so you get the look without the polishing, the bending or the 925 price tag. Being straight with you: we do not sell sterling silver, and we do not describe our jewellery as sterling. We sell the version you can actually live in — waterproof, sweatproof, tarnish-free and hypoallergenic, and it will not leave a green mark on your ear.
What You Will Find in the Collection
- Studs — the small everyday pair that never leaves your ears, in plain, pearl and CZ finishes.
- Hoops and huggies — from snug huggies that sit flat against the lobe to small hoops that hold their shape.
- Dangles and drops — for the days you want movement.
- Ear cuffs and ear stacks — silver-tone cuffs and jacket styles that build a stacked look with or without a second piercing.
Every pair is nickel-safe and hypoallergenic, so sensitive ears can wear them from morning to night, and every order is covered by our 60-day easy return with free shipping.
How to Wear Silver-Tone Earrings
Silver-tone is the cool neutral. It sits easily beside white, denim, black and grey, and it is the fastest way to make a gold-heavy outfit look deliberate rather than accidental. Wear a pair of silver-tone studs alone for work, then add an ear cuff or a second hoop for the evening. Mixing a silver-tone hoop with a gold-tone huggie is the easiest two-tone look there is, and because both pieces are stainless steel, neither finish wears the other one down.
Caring for them takes no effort. Rinse them with warm water, dry them on a soft cloth, and put them back on. There is no polish to buy and no cloth to keep.
Complete the silver look with our silver jewelry, silver necklaces, silver rings and silver bracelets collections, or stay with the ears and explore huggie earrings, stud earrings, ear cuffs, flat back earrings and earring stacks.
