These look like a drop of liquid silver was frozen just as it hit a surface. The shape isn't a perfect, drawn spiral but a soft, organic swirl. It's a solid form that looks like it was captured mid-motion.
From the front, the earring is a small whirlpool of polished silver. Light gathers in the centre and runs along the raised, rounded ridges of the swirl. From the side, you see it's a stud earring with a standard post and butterfly back. The front isn't flat; it has a noticeable, three-dimensional curve that sits just off the earlobe. The finish is bright and highly reflective.
These are made from solid 925 sterling silver. The "925" means the alloy is 92.5% pure silver, with the other 7.5% being metals that add strength and durability. Pure silver is actually quite soft, so the alloy is what makes the earrings practical for everyday wear. This also means that, like all sterling silver, they will naturally tarnish when exposed to air. But a quick wipe with a polishing cloth will always bring back the original bright, white shine.

It gives you the look of a sculptural earring with the security and simplicity of a stud. It’s a self-contained design that sits right on the lobe, so you don't have to worry about it dangling or catching. It’s more interesting than a simple ball stud but just as easy to put on and forget about.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the spiral shape of the Silver Gravity Earring catch on my hair?
No, the design is specifically made to prevent that. The edges are completely rounded and smooth, with no sharp points or open ends for hair to snag on. The spiral is a closed, solid form, so you can wear it without worrying about it getting tangled.
Can I shower or sleep with my sterling silver Gravity Earrings on?
You can, but we recommend taking them off. Soaps and shampoos can leave a film on the silver, dulling its shine over time. Sleeping on them can also put uncomfortable pressure on your piercing and bend the post. It only takes a second to remove them, which helps keep them clean and in good shape.
How will the 20mm Silver Gravity Earring fit on a smaller earlobe?
The 20mm diameter will likely cover most of a smaller earlobe, sitting like a full-lobe button earring. It’s designed to be a prominent feature. If you have multiple piercings, it works well in the first position with smaller studs in the second or third holes.
