Sterling silver ear studs are minimalist with clean and simple lines. Hallmarked sterling silver is the internationally accepted best-quality silver used in jewellery making. Ear studs made of solid sterling silver are classic and everlasting in their appeal.
♦ Affordable. Sterling silver ear studs are less expensive than look-alike white gold ones, making them more accessible if you are shopping on a budget. For this reason, silver studs are super cool additions to your ear piercings. You can gift more than one pair to your friends and throw an earring party!
♦ Durable. Sterling silver is more durable so stud earrings made of sterling silver can be crafted into beautiful styles and designs and retain their shape and form.
♦ Hypoallergenic. Ear studs made of sterling silver are suitable for sensitive skin and is a safe alternative for you if you are sensitive to nickel and brass earrings that are likely to cause infection or inflammation.
♦ Best for new piercings. Sterling silver earring studs are comfortable to wear and are ideal, especially if you have recently pierced your ears.

Silver stud earrings come in black, gold and enamel finishes
Sterling silver ear studs may have a glossy, matt, or satin finish. They are also available in an oxidised antique finish in a near-black finish. With enamelling or plating, they can also be finished in every shade of the rainbow!
Gold-plated silver studs
Our collection of silver earrings offers beautiful options in rhodium and gold-plated finish. The plating may be in white, yellow or rose gold. Depending on the thickness of the gold plating and how well you care for it, your gold-plated silver stud earring will retain its look for several years. Rhodium-plated silver earrings are a great option for those who prefer the white gold finish.
Silver stud earrings set with gemstones
If you like a pop of colour, refine and narrow your search to sterling silver ear studs set with precious and semi-precious crystal, cubic zirconia, organic gems like pearl and coral, and embellishments like the mother of pearl. These ear studs may feature a single gem or a cluster of gemstones in every colour, from pastel pink, blue, and green to vibrant violets and deep reds. Gemstones such as white and black diamond and pearl look gorgeous in oxidised or gold and rhodium-plated silver. Earstuds set with good-quality white cubic zirconia are an inexpensive alternative to diamond earstuds.
Caring for your silver ear studs
All silver jewellery will tarnish over time unless it is plated or lacquered. As with everything else, your sterling silver ear studs will last long and look gorgeous with proper care.
♥ Avoid getting your sterling silver ear studs wet. Leaving your sterling silver ear studs in water will speed up their tarnishing.
♥ Remove your silver ear studs before you shower or swim, especially in the sea.
♥ With a soft brush dabbed with baking soda or toothpaste, you can remove heavy tarnish on your sterling silver ear studs.
♥ Wipe them down with a soft cloth and put them away in felt-lined boxes/pouches after every use.
