From a distance, they look like classic silver hoops. But up close, you see they're actually two bands fused together — one smooth and polished, the other with soft ridges that catch the light in a completely different way.
This is a pair of C-shaped hoop earrings. Each one is designed to look like two chunky bands crossing over each other, creating an 'X' shape from the front. The silver is polished to a mirror finish, which you can see in the bright white reflections. One of the bands on each earring is perfectly smooth, while the other has soft, parallel grooves. The back is a standard post and butterfly closure for a secure fit.
We make these earrings from 925 sterling silver, which means they're 92.5% pure silver. We add a small amount of other metals to the mix for strength and durability, so the post won't bend easily and the earring's shape will hold up to daily wear. Sterling silver is a great choice for most sensitive ears. It does develop a patina over time, which means it will darken, but a quick polish with a soft cloth will always bring back its original bright shine.
- Material: 925 Sterling Silver
- Dimensions: 15mm x 11mm
- Sold as: A pair
You get the look of a chunky hoop without the weight or the full circle. Because they're C-shaped with a post back, they sit securely and are easy to put on. They have more presence on the ear than a simple band but are still small enough for everyday wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my Silver Double Band Earrings sometimes look darker?
Your earrings look darker because sterling silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture. This is a normal chemical reaction that creates a dark patina. It's not permanent and can be easily removed with a polishing cloth to restore the original bright, reflective finish of the silver.
Can I shower or sleep with my Silver Double Band Earrings in?
Yes, you can shower with them, but we recommend taking them off before sleeping. Water won't harm the 925 sterling silver, but soaps and shampoos can leave a residue that dulls the shine. Sleeping on them can put pressure on the posts and be uncomfortable for your piercing.
Will the 15mm Silver Double Band Earrings fit my second or third lobe piercing?
It depends on your ear's anatomy, but at 15mm tall, they are generally a great size for a main lobe piercing and can often fit a second. We suggest measuring the distance from your piercing to the bottom of your lobe; you'll need at least 15mm of space.
