The best everyday earrings are light, comfortable enough to sleep in and made from a metal that handles water. For most people, that means small hoops, huggies or studs in waterproof 316L stainless steel.
At DANSK Copenhagen, all our earrings are waterproof and hypoallergenic.
What makes a good everyday earring?
- Light weight. You should forget you are wearing it.
- A secure closure. Hinged hoops and huggies stay closed through workouts and sleep.
- A waterproof metal. 316L steel stays bright through showers, sweat and the sea.
- A shape you love. You will wear it every day, so choose something that feels like you.
Hoops, huggies or studs?
Small hoops and huggies sit close to the ear and work with everything. Try the SOLGERD huggies in GLOW, or browse all hoops.
Studs are the quietest choice and perfect for second and third piercings. The organic EASE studs, such as FRIDA and INES, are a good start. See all studs.
CZ huggies add a little light. Cubic zirconia is not affected by water, so they can stay on in the shower too. Browse earrings with cubic zirconia.
Earrings for travel
Pack one pair of hoops you can wear from the plane to the beach to dinner. Waterproof steel handles salt water, chlorine and sun cream, so you never have to take them off on holiday.
How to build an ear stack
- Start with your anchor: your favourite hoop or huggie in the first piercing.
- Go smaller as you go up: small studs or a tiny huggie in the next piercings.
- Add one detail: a CZ stud, a pearl or a contrasting finish.
Keep the stack in one material so every piercing gets the same gentle contact. For bolder looks, see how to style statement earrings.
Gold or silver for every day?
Both are made for daily wear. Our silver tone is the natural colour of the steel, solid to the core and tarnish-free; our gold is 18K ION plated and resists tarnishing.
