Our earrings have been specially designed for sensitive ears.

They’re plated with 18k gold on 316L surgical grade stainless steel, using PVD technology.

We’ve purposefully chosen high quality surgical grade stainless steel over other metals, such as Sterling Silver, because it has low levels of nickel in the alloy, which makes it better suited for wearers who have sensitive skin and are looking for earrings that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. It also highly durable, tarnish-resistant and 100% recyclable.

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is an environmentally-friendly technology that uses an advanced vacuum process to create a highly durable, tarnish-resistant and high polish coating. The quality of the process makes PVD jewellery longer-lasting, particularly compared to the more usual dip-plating

There is no definitive “yes” or “no” answer to whether clip-on earrings hurt, because everyone has different levels of sensitivity. But, for most people, the longer you wear them after putting them on, the more likely they are to become uncomfortable at some point. Though they do have the advantage that they can be taken off and put back on again easily. A quick massage of the lobes can really help as can putting them back on in a slightly different position 🙂

We have incorporated several elements into our designs to help them to be worn longer and more comfortably than other clip-on styles:

• We've capped the weight of our earrings and reduced the weight of our earrings wherever possible, which reduces the pull on your lobes.
• Every corner that comes into contact with your skin is buffered and smoothed down by hand.
• We use extra-large jelly comfort pads at the back of the clips.
• We provide an additional set of complimentary, adhesive pads with every order too, which you can choose to place wherever is most comfortable.

Our clips have been set to an industry strength standard, to reduce the risk of earrings falling off or being lost. The clip-strength can be adjusted if you buy the right tools, but it’s a fiddly thing to do and there is good chance you may damage the clip, so we don’t recommend it.
