These cz stud earrings are built on 925 sterling silver -- hallmarked "925" right on the post, visible in our own product photo -- and left unplated rather than gold-plated. There is no thin surface layer to wear through: the bright white-metal shine you see is the sterling itself. Each earring is a single oval brilliant-cut cubic zirconia solitaire, four-prong set, on a standard friction push-back post.
Color: Silver-tone (polished 925 sterling silver, unplated).
What Makes This Different
-
925 Sterling Silver, Stamped: Real sterling silver -- not brass or zinc alloy -- with a "925" hallmark stamped into the post itself. Gives this piece its weight, hypoallergenic properties, and longevity that cheaper alternatives can't match.
-
Left Unplated: No gold or rhodium layer on top. What you see is the metal itself, which means there is no plating to wear thin or need re-plating down the road -- just occasional polishing to keep the shine.
-
Hypoallergenic & Skin-Safe: Designed for sensitive skin. No nickel, no cheap alloys -- just sterling silver at every point of skin contact.
-
Oval-Cut, Prong-Set: A four-prong setting holds the oval cubic zirconia stone securely and lets light pass through from underneath for more sparkle than a glued setting.

How to Style It
Earrings are the quickest way to elevate any look -- and oval-cut cz stud earrings are no exception. Pair them with a simple white tee and straight-leg jeans for an effortlessly put-together daytime outfit. The bright silver catches light cleanly without competing with bold patterns or prints.
For evenings out, layer them with a delicate silver chain necklace and a little black dress. The cool white-metal tone reads clean and modern, and pairs naturally with other unplated silver pieces.
They also work brilliantly as bridesmaid jewellery or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves minimalist accessories. Because the sterling silver base is hypoallergenic, they're a safe choice even for guests with sensitive ears.
Care & Longevity
Unplated sterling silver has no plating layer to wear through, but it will tarnish faster than a rhodium- or gold-finished piece if it sits damp or shut away from air. A quick polish is all it needs to look new again -- there is no re-plating clock running on this piece the way there is on plated jewelry. Follow these steps to get the most from your cz stud earrings:
-
Keep it dry: Remove before showering, swimming, washing hands, or doing dishes. Water -- especially chlorinated or saltwater -- speeds up tarnishing.
-
Apply fragrance first: Perfume, hairspray, and body lotions contain chemicals that can dull sterling silver's shine. Always apply these before putting on jewellery, and let them dry fully.
-
Wipe after wear: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently buff away oils and moisture after each wear. This takes seconds and makes a noticeable difference over time.
-
Store separately: Keep in the included pouch or a soft-lined jewellery box. Storing pieces together causes scratching. For earrings, avoid tangling by laying flat or hanging where possible.
-
If it dulls: A silver polishing cloth restores the shine in seconds -- unlike plated jewelry, there is no risk of buffing through a surface layer, since there isn't one.
