Anti-Tarnish Earrings for Everyday Wear
Studs, hoops, drops, and huggies in stainless steel with a gold-tone plated finish, chosen for everyday wear.
Quick answer: Our earrings are made from stainless steel with a gold-tone plated finish. Stainless steel contains no copper, which is what causes the green marks and rapid dulling associated with cheap fashion jewellery.
Common questions
What makes these anti-tarnish?
The base metal. Most inexpensive jewellery is built on copper-bearing alloys, and copper is what reacts with air and sweat to dull the finish and mark skin. Stainless steel does not contain copper, so there is nothing to migrate through the plating. That is a property of the material itself, not a coating that wears off.
Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
Stainless steel is a common choice for sensitive ears because the alloy is stable and releases very little into skin. Most stainless steel grades do contain nickel bound within the alloy, so if you have a diagnosed nickel allergy, message us before ordering and we will tell you what we know about a specific piece. Our seven-day returns cover you either way.
Can I wear them every day?
Yes, daily wear is what they are made for. Remove them before swimming, hot showers, and the gym. Chlorine and concentrated sweat shorten the life of any plated finish, whatever sits underneath it.
