This earring is basically a line of solid silver that we've tied into a loose, open knot. It has a continuous, fluid shape that looks a little different from every angle, especially as it catches the light.
You're looking at a pair of stud earrings, each made from a single, continuous tube of polished silver. We've shaped them into an abstract knot that doesn't pull tight—it stays open and airy. The surface is a mirror finish, so it catches the light in long, clean lines along the curves. One end of the tube drops down just below the knot, giving it a bit of length. The post is soldered securely to the back.
We make these from solid 925 sterling silver. It’s 92.5% pure silver mixed with a small amount of copper for strength, which means the earrings are durable enough for you to wear constantly without worrying about them bending out of shape. The high-polish finish will stay bright, but like all silver, it can tarnish over time. A quick polish with a soft cloth will bring back the shine. The posts and butterfly backs are also 925 silver, so they're a good choice for sensitive ears.
- Material: 925 sterling silver

These are for when you want something more interesting than a simple stud but not as big as a hoop. The knot shape gives them volume and a three-dimensional quality you can see from the side, but they're still light and sit neatly on the earlobe. They're noticeable without getting in the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the polished finish on the Silver Abstract No.2 Earrings get scratched?
The high-polish finish on your Silver Abstract No.2 Earrings is durable but can develop fine scratches with daily wear. We think this adds character over time. To restore the shine, you can use a standard silver polishing cloth to gently buff the surface whenever you feel it's needed.
Can I shower or sleep in my sterling silver knot earrings?
Yes, you can shower in your sterling silver knot earrings. Water won't harm them, but soaps can leave a residue that dulls the shine. We recommend taking them off before sleeping, as the posts can be uncomfortable to lie on and might get bent over time.
Will the 25mm Silver Abstract No.2 Earring be too heavy for my earlobe?
No, the Silver Abstract No.2 Earring is designed to be lightweight despite its size. We use a tubular construction, which makes the piece hollow. This gives it a substantial look without the weight, so it won't pull on your earlobe and is comfortable for all-day wear.
What happens if I want to return my silver earrings after trying them on?
We have a 30-day return policy, even if you've tried the earrings on. If they're not quite right for you, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca within 30 days of delivery. We'll send you a prepaid shipping label to send them back for a full refund.
How long does the free shipping take for an order to the United States?
Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US and Canada (over $60 CAD) typically takes 5 to 15 business days to arrive. You’ll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched from our Coquitlam studio so you can follow its journey.
