Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →

Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.

18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →

Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →

Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

Your first gold earrings—an investment in timeless style.

These 9ct gold sleeper earrings are hand-selected to meet our highest standards for 24/7 wear: lightweight enough to forget, secure enough to sleep in, and radiantly polished. We've sourced the perfect low-maintenance, everyday luxury staples so you can build a fine capsule jewelry wardrobe with pieces that truly last a lifetime.

Perfect if you're upgrading from silver, choosing your first solid gold earrings, looking for a meaningful milestone gift (18th, 21st, or 30th birthday), or building a curated everyday ear stack.

Why These Sleepers Work

  • Investment Quality: Solid 9ct yellow gold, not plated or filled. This is heirloom-quality jewelry that holds its value and can be worn for decades.

  • Sleep-Safe Design: Features a classic, flush-hinged closure that won't poke behind your ear, scratch your skin, or catch on your clothes.

  • Shower & Pool Safe: Unlike silver or plated alternatives, solid 9ct gold won't tarnish, discolor, or lose its rich warmth when exposed to water, sweat, or daily wear.

  • Three Curated Sizes: Available in 12mm (a minimal, snug huggie fit), 14mm (the classic everyday lobe diameter), and 16mm (a slightly bolder, elegant standalone hoop).

  • Shipping & Availability: We keep a limited selection in stock for immediate shipping. Other sizes are brought in upon order—please allow 1–2 weeks for dispatch.

Style & Inspiration

The rich warmth of solid gold is beautiful on its own, but these hoops are truly built for the art of the multi-size ear stack. For a classic graduated look, pair the bolder 16mm in your first lobe piercing, follow with the 14mm in your second, and finish with the snug 12mm in your third piercing or cartilage.

🌟 Gold Ear Stack Styling Tip: To create the classic, warm graduated look shown on our model, add both the 12mm and 14mm sizes to your cart.
