Earring Gifts

For someone with sensitive ears

If she has ever taken her earrings out by lunchtime, start here. Every piece we make is built on sterling silver, which is nickel-free and one of the gentlest metals for reactive skin.

Look for flatback earrings, which sit flush against the lobe and are comfortable to sleep in, or simple huggie earrings she can leave in for days. You can also browse the full range of earrings for sensitive ears. If she is newly pierced, sterling silver earrings are the safest starting point while everything settles.

For the minimalist, and for the collector

Two different people, two different answers.

The minimalist wants one good pair she can wear every day without thinking. A plain dome huggie or a small gold hoop does that, and it works with everything she already owns.

The collector is a different brief. She has three piercings and a plan. For her, a set works better than a single pair. Our earring stacks are built to sit together in different sizes, so you are giving her the whole look rather than one piece of it.

If you are unsure which she is, look at what she wears now. One pair on repeat, or a different combination every week.

For the romantic, and for a first piercing

Flowers, hearts and pearls are the safest kind of personal. They show you thought about her without needing to know her exact taste. Our flora jewellery and heart earrings sit in this space, and most are under $75.

A first piercing needs something different again. Comfort matters more than sparkle for the first few months. Small, light and easy to sleep in is the brief, which is where sleeper earrings earn their place.

When you have no idea

Sometimes you know she likes earrings and nothing else. That is a fair place to be.

Two options work well. A gift card lets her choose, which matters here because earrings cannot be returned once they have been worn. That is a hygiene rule rather than a policy we enjoy, and a card sidesteps it completely.

The second is a stack set. It puts more than one option in the box, so at least one pair is likely to become a favourite.

Frequently asked questions

What is a safe earring gift for someone with sensitive ears?
Sterling silver is the gentlest place to start. It is nickel-free and suits most reactive skin. Flatback styles are also worth considering, as they sit flush against the lobe with less movement and less irritation. Everyone's skin is different, so it may still take a little trial.

How much should I spend on earrings as a gift?
Every piece in this collection is under $80, which is a comfortable range for most gifting. If you would like more choice, you can also browse gifts under $100.

Should I choose gold or silver?
Look at what she already wears. If you truly cannot tell, gold plating is the safer guess. It suits most skin tones and reads as a little more special.

Can earrings be returned?
Earrings cannot be returned once they have been worn, for hygiene reasons. If you are unsure of her taste, a gift card is the better choice.

What if something goes wrong with them?
Every piece carries a six month warranty against manufacturing defects. If something is not right, get in touch and we will sort it out.

When should I order for Christmas?
Order by our published Christmas cutoff dates to arrive in time. Australian orders over $89 ship free.
