Sterling Silver Stud Earrings

When selecting a new pair of sterling silver stud earrings, keep these simple tips in mind to find your perfect match.  

Take a moment to explore your jewellery collection, looking closely at the types of gemstones and designs that inspire you. If you’re drawn to bold shapes or colours, look to certain meaningful symbols or gemstones that will stand out, such as a set of diamond knot or heart infinity earrings, or a hexagonal silver stud that features black diamonds. Or, for understated style, choose a pair of classic freshwater pearls or ball studs. 

Consider the occasions and settings where you’ll wear your earrings. Opt for small silver stud earrings for a stylish yet simple piece for everyday chic. Or, choose chevron studs or half hoop dome stud earrings to make a statement with your eveningwear. 

Compare silver stud earring settings. Halo and pavé settings evoke a classic glamour ideal for statement pieces, while vine or floral earrings offer whimsical detail.

Silver stud earrings are some of the most versatile pieces to include in your jewellery collection, complementing a range of looks and styles. 

Match sterling silver studs with other types of silver jewellery for a stylish sense of symmetry. Opt for pure minimalism by pairing small silver studs with a fine curb chain or create an air of classical elegance by pairing silver diamond studs with a halo pendant. 

Sterling silver studs also shine when incorporated into an earring stack. Experiment with different style combinations, pairing silver studs with sleepers and studs in other precious metals for effortless casual style. Or, choose larger hoops and huggies to make a bold yet sophisticated statement. 

Stud earrings in silver are also popular in men’s fashion, adding contemporary cool to a timeless favourite. Keep things simple by wearing a solitaire stud earring with a curb bracelet or chain, or highlight the diamond accents of a black titanium ring with a black diamond cluster stud earring.  

The 925 mark refers to the percentage of pure silver found in a pair of silver stud earrings.

Sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver. Pure silver is relatively soft, so creating an alloy helps to make sterling silver harder and more durable. Whether it’s a stud earring in silver or other types of silver jewellery, choosing sterling silver ensures that your piece will become a lasting treasure in your collection. 

The 925 imprint is the recognised standard in fine jewellery, found on countless pieces designed by many of the world’s most respected brands. 

At Michael Hill, we use 925 sterling silver to craft all of our silver jewellery. Many of our silver pieces are also rhodium plated, which enhances tarnish and corrosion resistances and adds shine.
