Sterling Silver Earrings

Sterling silver earrings with something to look at up close: butterfly wings, open petals, geometric hoops or pearls on a longer drop. Some designs have silver-tone and vintage gold-tone options. The finish describes the color; check the listing for the metal underneath.

Studs, hoops or drops?

The butterfly studs measure about 1 cm (0.39 in). For a compact hoop, compare the 1.5 cm green enamel design (0.59 in). Choose a longer drop if you want more movement, and check its full length against a pair you own.

These designs specify sterling silver bodies or components, such as hooks and connectors; the exact parts vary. Pearl types also differ, including explicitly labeled faux pearls. See freshwater pearl earrings for that material specifically, or read our silver and gold-finish buying guide.
