Choosing earrings for women
Earrings for women come in three main shapes: studs that sit on the lobe, hoops and huggies that circle it, and drops that hang below. Check the metal on each listing, because sterling silver, gold vermeil, gold plate and solid gold wear differently. If you have sensitive ears, solid gold or sterling silver posts are a good place to start. Harfi makes most of the range, with Habulous, Ballinger, Lily Flo Jewellery, Rize and So Just Shop making the rest. Before a brand joins Ziracle, we look at its metals and how its jewellery is made.
Women's gold hoop earrings
Harfi makes women's gold hoop earrings and huggies in gold vermeil and gold plate, some set with gemstones or birthstones. Lily Flo Jewellery makes handmade hoops in solid gold, and Ballinger makes hoops too. Small huggies suit everyday wear and second piercings, while a larger hoop dresses up a simple outfit. Hoops in gold vermeil keep their colour longer than gold plate, and solid gold is the one to choose if you want to leave them in.
Ladies silver earrings and studs
For ladies silver earrings, Harfi makes sterling silver hoops, drops and women's stud earrings with gemstones and birthstones. Rize makes handmade sterling silver earrings, and Habulous sets ceramic and glass in sterling silver. A small stud is an easy everyday choice, and a gemstone stud adds colour. A drop with a light gemstone suits evenings without pulling on the lobe. Silver darkens over time, so polish it with a soft cloth and store it in a pouch.
Handmade drops and gifting
Habulous makes handmade drop earrings in ceramic and glass, such as the Eclipse range, which add colour without much weight. Lily Flo Jewellery and Rize also make handmade pieces. Earrings make one of the easiest Christmas presents, because size is rarely a worry. Take earrings out before swimming and clean the posts now and then. Keep pairs together in a small box or pouch, so studs and backs do not get lost. Women's Necklaces has matching pendants, Women's Bracelets has bangles, Earrings has more styles, and Best sustainable jewellery picks out brands to know.
Common questions
What is the difference between hoops and huggies?
Huggies are small hoops that sit close to the earlobe. Hoops are larger and hang a little lower.
Can I sleep in my earrings?
Small solid gold studs or huggies are the most comfortable to leave in. Take larger hoops and drops out at night.
How do I clean silver earrings?
Polish with a soft cloth and wash the posts in warm soapy water. Dry them well and store them in a pouch.
What is gold vermeil?
It is a thick layer of gold over sterling silver. It looks like solid gold and is lighter to wear.
