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.

Earrings you'll never want to take off—literally.

These sterling silver sleeper earrings are hand-selected to meet our highest standards for 24/7 wear: lightweight enough to forget, secure enough to sleep in, and beautifully polished. We've sourced the perfect low-maintenance, tarnish-resistant staples so you can build your everyday wardrobe with absolute confidence.

Perfect if you're building a curated ear with multiple piercings, need earrings gentle enough for sensitive skin, or want a timeless daily base layer that pairs effortlessly with everything.

Why These Sleepers Work

Sleep-Safe Design: Features a classic, flush-hinged closure that won't poke behind your ear or catch on your clothes or knitwear.
Sensitive Skin Friendly: Genuine, high-quality 925 sterling silver that is entirely hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and gentle on temperamental piercings.
Three Curated Sizes: Available in 12mm (a minimal, snug huggie fit), 14mm (the classic everyday lobe diameter), and 16mm (a slightly bolder, standalone statement hoop).
Shipping & Availability: Some sizes are in stock for immediate shipping. Please allow 1–2 weeks if a size needs to be restocked for your order.

Style & Inspiration

These hoops are beautiful on their own, but they are truly built for the art of the 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. Mix and match sizes to build a clean, curated look that never needs to be taken out.
