Sterling Silver Earrings
Every pair in this earrings collection is built on 925 sterling silver, from rose cut zircon studs in paraiba blue, royal blue and light yellow to natural green moss agate drops and kite-cut dangles. Small enough for daily wear, distinctive enough to get noticed — studs for second piercings, drops for the occasions that matter.

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 or a low-risk gift. 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 10k gold detail. Curious what the 925 stamp actually guarantees? Our explainer on what 925 sterling silver means covers it.
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 US orders over $99 ship free.

Frequently asked questions
Are sterling silver earrings okay for sensitive ears?
925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. Skin reactions to metals vary from person to person, so we don't describe any piece as hypoallergenic or nickel-free. If you know you react to certain metals, email [email protected] with the item number before you order and we'll confirm what that piece is made of.
What is a rose cut stone?
A rose cut has a flat base and a dome of triangular facets, a style dating back centuries. It gives a softer, vintage glow compared with the sharp flash of modern brilliant cuts — which is what makes these zircon studs distinctive.
Is the moss agate in these earrings natural?
Yes — the moss agate drops, dangles and studs use natural green moss agate set in 925 sterling silver. Because the mossy inclusions form naturally, no two pairs share exactly the same pattern.
Which earrings make the best gift if I'm unsure of her style?
Stud earrings are the safest pick: they suit every face shape and daily wear. The rose cut zircon studs are also an easy add-on that helps an order reach the $99 free-shipping threshold.
How do I keep silver earrings from tarnishing?
Tarnish comes mostly from moisture and chemicals. Put earrings on last, after perfume and hairspray, wipe them with a soft cloth after wear, and store them dry. Done consistently, sterling silver stays bright for years.
