Sterling Silver Earrings

Studs are the easiest place to start. The Everyday Essential CZ Sterling Silver Studs come in 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm, so you can go barely there or bold. For something softer, the Sterling Silver 6mm Opal Earring Studs carry a created opal with its own mix of color. Browse stud earrings to compare more sizes and stones.

Hoops change character with size. The Classic Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings range from 0.75 inch to 2.5 inches, so a small pair reads as polished and a large pair as relaxed. A huggie sits close to the lobe and works as an everyday pair, and the huggie hoops collection is the place to compare them.

When you want movement, the Bar Threader Sterling Silver Earrings hang with a 2-inch drop on a threader post. A longer drop stands out against a bare neckline, and a shorter one suits a collared shirt. See more styles in drop earrings.

Many styles come in a silver tone and a gold finish. The silver tone is sterling silver. The gold finishes are 14K gold plated or vermeil, a layer of 14K gold over sterling silver, and each product page says which. If you want gold across the board, the gold earrings page is set up for it.

Wear a stud in the first hole, a small hoop in the second, and a huggie above. One metal tone makes the stack look deliberate, while mixing tones looks relaxed. Both work, so choose by mood. Put the heaviest earring in the lobe, where it has the most room to sit.

Sterling is a lifetime metal: tarnish sits on the surface and polishes away, so a sterling piece can be brought back to its shine again and again. We back every piece with our lifetime guarantee. If it breaks or changes color due to a chemical reaction, we replace it. Regular wear and tear is not covered.
