Gold has its moment. Silver has its attitude.There’s something timeless and a little rebellious about sterling silver earrings. They’re effortlessly cool, endlessly wearable, and somehow make even your “I just rolled out of bed” outfit feel intentional.

Every pair at GLDN is made from solid sterling silver (the real deal—no plating here) and many are handcrafted to order in our Washington studio. Translation: these aren’t your fast-fashion earrings. They’re designed to last, to shine, and to go wherever you do.

Why silver just hits different

Let’s give silver its flowers. It’s:

• Solid and strong. Real .925 sterling silver—like gold, but friendlier on your wallet.

• Sensitive-skin approved. It’s hypoallergenic, which means no itching, no redness, no regrets.

• Naturally low-maintenance. The more you wear it, the shinier it gets. (Yep, your daily life doubles as jewelry care.)

Basically, silver is the kind of metal that gets you.

Styling that shines

Silver is a shapeshifter, it plays nice with everything. Minimal? Check. Boho? Sure. Glam night out? Always. A few styling ideas (because we can’t help ourselves):

• Pair simple silver hoops with gold studs for that mix-metal moment that feels effortless but intentional.

• Stack delicate silver studs up your ear for that soft-edge look.

• Rock gemstone drops with a white tee and messy bun—instant “I have great taste” energy.

Pieces that deserve the spotlight

Stacking Stone Stud Set

Four handcrafted studs, infinite ways to shine. This curated set includes one Gaia Stud (choose diamond or white sapphire), one Gleaming Pebble Stud, one Tiny Pebble Stud, and one Petite River Stone Stud, a design exclusive to this set.

Stargazer White Sapphire Stud Set

Three single genuine, lab-grown white sapphire studs in sterling silver. These give you that cosmic, star-lit vibe: silver plus white sapphire = seriously flattering. Great for everyday sparkle with a twist.

Poet’s Garden Gradient Hoops

Sterling silver hoops featuring a subtle gradient of gemstones (vintage garnet → rose → champagne → dusky blue). These fit the “quiet drama” narrative: that silver makes gemstone colours pop, it creates romantic silhouettes, and is expressive but wearable.

The beauty of sterling silver

Silver doesn’t just look good, it is good:

• Strong but soft: Lightweight enough for everyday, sturdy enough to last years.

• Natural properties: Silver has natural properties that help keep it fresh and easy to care for.

• Forever stylish: Classic now, classic always.

• Easy upkeep: No fancy cleaning ritual required—just wear, love, repeat.
