Sterling Silver Sleeper Earrings

Earrings you'll never want to take off—literally. These sterling silver sleeper earrings are designed for 24/7 wear: light enough to forget, comfortable enough to sleep in, and beautiful enough to notice. Whether you're replacing a beloved pair, building an ear stack, or choosing your everyday essential earrings, these are the reliable staples that work from morning to midnight.

Who this is for:
For those who want effortless, comfortable earrings they can wear day and night. Perfect if you're building a curated ear with multiple piercings, need earrings gentle enough for sensitive skin, want an affordable everyday option, or are looking for a timeless base layer that pairs with everything—from your sculptural statement pieces to your simplest linen dress.
