Sterling Silver Earrings

Studs or Drops: Where to Start

Studs are the everyday workhorse — the rose cut zircon styles here come in paraiba blue, royal blue and light yellow, and sit flat against the ear, which makes them an easy first pair. The moss agate drops and kite-cut dangles move more, catch more light, and suit the days you want your earrings noticed.

Inside the Materials

Everything here is built on 925 sterling silver. The studs use rose cut zircon — a flat-based, dome-faceted cut that glows rather than flashes, with a vintage character standard brilliant cuts don't have. The moss agate pieces use natural green stone, so every pair carries its own one-of-a-kind mossy pattern, and selected designs add gold-tone detail. Curious what the 925 stamp actually guarantees? Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, with the balance usually copper for strength.

Matching Earrings to the Person

For a minimalist who wears the same pieces daily, the sterling silver studs in a single color are the safe, certain choice. For someone drawn to natural stones and organic shapes, the moss agate earrings — including a matching necklace-and-earrings set — make a more personal statement. Blue stones flatter cool undertones; the light yellow octagon warms up olive and golden skin.

Earring Care Basics

Sterling silver stays tarnish-resistant with small habits: put earrings on after perfume and hairspray, wipe them with a soft cloth before storing, and keep them in a dry pouch rather than an open dish. Backs are the first thing to go missing, so store each pair together in the pouch it arrives in. Moss agate prefers the same treatment — no harsh cleaners, no long soaks. If a pair doesn't suit, eligible earrings can be returned within 60 days for 80% of the item price or exchanged with no deduction (moss agate pairs excepted), and Canadian orders over $139 ship free.
