Silver Earrings for Women
925 studs, jhumka, hoops & oxidised — everyday minimal to festive
Silver earrings are ear ornaments worn through a pierced lobe, the most-bought and most-gifted jewellery category in India. anokhi crafts 925 sterling silver earrings for women and girls: studs, jhumka, hoops, drops and oxidised designs — minimal enough for daily wear, distinctive enough to notice. Every pair is BIS hallmarked, secured with hypoallergenic 925 posts and backs, finished anti-tarnish, and arrives gift-ready with a certificate of authenticity.
How to choose silver earrings for women
Which silver earrings for daily wear?
Small studs and huggie hoops. They sit close to the lobe, do not catch on a dupatta or a phone, and are light enough to forget you are wearing them. Our minimal studs and 6 mm freshwater pearl studs close with a push-back; the 12 mm huggies click shut.
If you want a little movement, a simple drop still works at the office: the CZ droplet and the 7 mm freshwater pearl dangler are our plainest.
Jhumka and chandbali for festive days
Jhumka are the bell-shaped drops of Indian festive dressing. Ours come oxidised, with pearl beads, as an ear-cuff jhumka on a chain, and as a long Kashmiri-style jhumka with ghungroo chains.
Chandbali take their name from the crescent moon. We make them in rhodium with CZ, in 18k gold plating as a mini version with a stud top, and oxidised with freshwater pearl drops. Longer jhumka and chandbali are best kept for occasions, when the extra size is worth it.
Earrings without a piercing: ear cuffs
An ear cuff slides onto the rim of the ear and is pinched gently to size, so it needs no piercing. We make a plain rhodium cuff and an oxidised tribal one, each sold singly. For a pierced helix, the bugadi is a small hinged hoop in oxidised silver.
Are silver earrings good for sensitive ears?
Usually, yes. Irritation from cheap earrings mostly comes from nickel in the post. Our posts and backs are 925 silver with no nickel core, which suits most sensitive and newly healed ears.
If your ears react to everything, start with studs, which have the least metal touching the piercing, and keep them clean with a wipe of mild soapy water.
CZ, zircon, pearl: what are the stones?
CZ (cubic zirconia) is a lab-created stone. In the Indian trade it is often called zircon or American diamond, but it is not a diamond and we never price it as one. Our pearls are freshwater cultured pearls, which is what almost all pearl jewellery at this price is.
Is it real silver?
Every pair on this page is 925 sterling silver: 92.5% pure silver with a little copper for strength. Larger pieces carry a BIS purity mark, pieces too small for the punch are 925 stamped, and every order ships with a certificate of authenticity. Gold-plated designs are silver underneath, not brass.
Price and care
Our earrings run from ₹1,298 for the bugadi to ₹5,998 for the long Kashmiri jhumka. Studs and huggies sit between ₹1,598 and ₹1,998.
Take earrings off before sleeping, bathing and swimming, and put them on after perfume and hairspray. Store each pair separately so posts do not scratch other pieces, and wipe them with the cloth in the box.
