LYANG & CO.’s sleeper earrings collection features huggie, screw back and flatback styles, crafted in hypoallergenic 925 sterling silver and implant-grade titanium. Lightweight and minimal, they’re comfortable enough to sleep in and beautiful enough to shine during the day.
What are Sleeper Earrings?
Sleeper earrings are designed for the woman who values both comfort and style. Their lightweight, secure designs remove the discomfort of traditional earring backs, so you can wear them longer without sacrificing your everyday style. From busy workdays to restful nights, they move with your lifestyle, offering the sparkle you love with the comfort you deserve.
Why Choose LYANG & CO. Sleeper Earrings?
Our sleeper earrings are crafted for the modern woman who refuses to compromise:
All-day comfort: No sharp backs or pressure points that dig into sensitive ears
Made for everyday wear: Our titanium flatbacks are shower-safe, swim-safe and sweat-safe
Effortless styling: Minimalist designs that layer beautifully with huggie, stud or drop earrings
From your first stack to forever favourites, sleepers are the versatile staple your jewellery collection needs.
What Materials Make the Best Sleeper Earrings?
Sleeper earrings are usually crafted from lightweight, hypoallergenic metals such as sterling silver, solid gold or titanium. Stainless steel is durable, but it contains some nickel, so it isn’t ideal for very sensitive ears.
Our sleepers come in two materials:
925 sterling silver, plain or plated in 18K/14K gold. It’s lightweight and gentle on sensitive ears, with a timeless finish. Learn more about why sterling silver suits sensitive ears.
Implant-grade titanium with a PVD gold finish. It’s nickel-free and the gentlest choice for very sensitive ears.
Finding Your Perfect Sleeper Earring Size
Sleeper earrings usually range from delicate 6mm to statement 20mm diameters, with most people finding their sweet spot between 8mm-12mm for all-day comfort:
6mm-7mm: Perfect for petite earlobes, helix piercings, or those who prefer ultra-minimalist styling
8mm-10mm: The most popular choice—ideal for standard lobe piercings and comfortable for sleeping
12mm-14mm: Great for making a subtle statement while maintaining comfort for extended wear
16mm+: Bold enough to wear solo or perfect for creating layered looks with stud earrings
Still unsure? Our huggie size guide helps you find your fit. Sleepers should feel barely there. If they’re pulling or catching, try a smaller size.
Have a new piercing? Keep your piercer’s jewellery in until it’s fully healed. Whatever you sleep in, take your earrings out regularly to clean them and your piercing.
Styling Your Sleeper Earrings
The beauty of sleeper earrings lies in their versatility. They move from workday meetings to weekend brunches with ease:
Wear a single pair of medium sleepers for clean, simple styling that works with everything.
Combine sleepers with drop earrings for asymmetrical styling that feels modern and personal.
