Does Stilvi craft earrings in silver or gold?
Both! Stilvi earrings are crafted in either solid 14k gold, sterling silver, or sterling silver with plated gold. Some pieces are shown in a dark or "black" silver combo, which means that area has been rhodium plated for contrast. Each listing will be clearly marked with the metal type. These are all fine jewelry choices for customers who want high quality metals in unique designs.
Want something in gold and you only see it in silver? Any pair of earrings shown in silver can be made in 14k gold - ask us in the Chat below for the gold price.
Will this workshop change the pearls or stones?
Pieces from Stilvi’s Pearl Olive earring collection can be made without pearls upon request. For his doublet pieces, you can chat with us below if you're looking for a different stone.
Can Stilvi customize a pair of earrings?
The most likely answer is YES! The Stilvi workshop can sometimes craft changes to their pieces. Common customizations include changing the earring back styles. Chat with us below to learn more.
How do I know if earrings are too heavy for me?
Here's the great part — the larger earrings in Stilvi's collection here are considerably lightweight. If you like a long look and are afraid of weight, his long earring designs help solve that problem.
In general here are some weight tips:
If earrings pull on the earlobe, feel uncomfortable after a short time, or make the piercing stretch downward, they may be too heavy for regular wear. That said, long earrings do not always have to be heavy.
Not sure if an earring will feel heavy?
Think of it this way: 1 gram is about a paper clip, 3–4 grams is about a sugar packet, and 5 grams is about a US nickel. Lightweight earrings are usually under 3 grams each, everyday comfortable earrings often sit around 3–6 grams, and larger statement earrings may be 8 grams or more. Design makes a big difference, too — a well-balanced earring can feel easier to wear than the number alone suggests.
We are updating our weights which can be found in the "Size and Materials" section of each listing, but you can also chat with us below to ask if the pair would be considered heavy or not.
What earrings are best for sensitive ears?
Stilvi jewelry is hypoallergenic. Gold in general is not considered a common allergy metal, and Stilvi's sterling silver is not made with nickel, which is what many people are actually reacting to when they believe they have a “silver allergy.” You're in the right place if you have sensitive ears! The Stilvi workshop only offers high-quality gold or sterling silver earrings.
How should I care for Stilvi earrings?
Earrings should be stored separately in a dry place and gently wiped after wearing to remove oils, lotions, or everyday buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, perfume, and abrasive cleaners, especially if the earrings include pearls or delicate details. Due to Stilvi's plating on the silver, heavy rubbing with a cloth will wear off gold plate or the rhodium protection. If pieces get really dirty, a light rinse with a little dish soap is safe. We have more in our Jewelry Care Guide.
