Men's Singles Stud Earrings

Q: Why are these earrings sold as singles instead of pairs?

This collection sits within our men&#39;s range, and traditionally men tend to wear a single stud - so selling them individually makes sense. Many people prefer to wear just one stud earring as a style choice, or they may only have one ear pierced. That said, anyone can shop this collection, and if you&#39;d like a matching pair just add two to your basket. Selling singles also means you can mix and match styles - a skull on one side and a stone on the other, for instance. We also sell pairs of studs - to any gender - in our main stud earrings collection

Q: Can I wear my stud earring in the shower, swimming pool or sea?

Sterling silver won&#39;t be damaged by a quick shower, but regular exposure to water, (especially salt water) sweat, shampoo and chlorine will speed up tarnishing. For everyday gym sessions or swimming, we&#39;d recommend taking your stud out and storing it somewhere safe. Tarnishing is not the end of the world - if you do leave it in, just give it a gentle clean with a silver polishing cloth and it&#39;ll come up good as new.

What does Sterling Silver mean?

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver - it is arguably the best composition of silver for jewellery making because it is a lot more durable and harder than pure silver, which is a very soft metal.

You may see .925 mentioned or stamped on some pieces, this refers to the 92.5% silver in the item.

The remaining 7.5% is usually made up of copper, zinc and other metals.

What does Recycled Metal mean?

When we say our items are made from Recycled metal, this is metal (Sterling Silver and 9ct Gold) that has been melted down and made into our products. The products themselves have not been worn and are all brand new.

This is more environmentally friendly than mining for new metal and reduces the amount of labour involved in creating our jewellery Not all our products are made from recycled metal yet, but most are. We are working towards increasing this number

How are your stud earrings measured?

Our studs are measured by their diameter - the distance from one side to the other of the actual stud part of the earring (excluding the pin and back). This gives a sense of the size of the stud in your ear.

See our Size Guide on the product page to see different size studs on a model to give an idea of what each size will look like

Which ear should you wear a single stud in?

Whichever you like - there are no rules. The old idea that one side meant something specific is long outdated. Most people simply choose the ear they feel looks best, or the side that suits their hairstyle. If you already have piercings on one ear, adding a stud to the other can help balance things out.
