Earrings are the hardest-working jewellery you own. They go in at 8am and often stay in overnight. Here is how to choose a pair that can handle it.
Why ears react
Pierced skin is sensitive, and the post sits inside it all day. Nickel in cheap alloys is the most common cause of itchy, red lobes. Stainless-steel posts release no nickel, which is why our anti-tarnish earrings are safe for most sensitive ears.
Studs
Best for: sleeping in, work, gym. Watch for: a secure butterfly back. Our knot and floral pearl studs are the two most reordered pieces in the collection.
Hoops
Best for: framing the face, weekends, video calls. Watch for: a click-closure rather than a thin hinge. Chunky hoops read as more expensive than thin ones at the same price.
Drops and danglers
Best for: evenings and occasions. Save these for days when you are not pulling a sweater over your head.

Quick answers
Can I shower with studs in?
Yes. Stainless-steel posts and backs are water-safe.
Do the backs come off easily?
Butterfly backs on our studs grip firmly. For heavier drops we use lever or hook backs.
Are these safe for a fresh piercing?
Wait until the piercing has healed fully, then steel studs are one of the safest options.
How do I clean earrings?
A quick wipe with a soft cloth and, once a month, a two-minute soak in warm soapy water.
