Everyday Surgical Steel Earrings

Why 316L Surgical Steel Earrings

316L surgical steel is strong, doesn't tarnish, and holds up to daily wear, which is why it's used for so much body jewelry. It's a practical metal for earrings you'll leave in, from simple studs to hoops you sleep in. If your ears react to steel, switch to titanium, which is nickel-free; our titanium opal studs come in white, aqua, and purple.

Studs, Huggies, and Dangles

Choose 20G studs with a 4mm CZ gem, or natural stones like turquoise, amethyst, jade, and tiger's eye. For hoops, dome huggies and beveled-edge hoops come in silver, gold, rose gold, black, and rainbow. Cross dangle earrings add movement, including a style that hangs from a small hinged hoop. Fake plugs give the look of a stretched lobe in a regular 16G piercing.

Earring Gauges: 20G, 18G, and 16G

Most store-bought earrings are 20G, the size of a standard lobe piercing. Our cross dangles are 18G, and fake plugs and the triple-layered hinge ring are 16G, a common gauge for piercings done with a needle. Not sure of your size? See our body jewelry gauge size chart, or ask your piercer to confirm your gauge and fit. See more lobe styles in lobe piercing jewelry.

Surgical Steel Earrings FAQ

Does surgical steel contain nickel?

316L surgical steel contains a small amount of nickel bound into the alloy. Many people wear it without trouble, but if you know you react to nickel, choose titanium, which is nickel-free, like our 20G titanium opal studs.

Will surgical steel earrings tarnish or turn my ears green?

No. 316L surgical steel doesn't tarnish or leave green marks like brass or copper can. Colored steel earrings use a PVD coating, which is durable but can wear over time with rubbing.

Can I wear these earrings in my cartilage?

Most of these are 20G, which is thinner than the 16G used for most cartilage piercings. For cartilage, a flat-back labret stud in 16G is more comfortable and keeps the piercing its size.
