Silver earrings are the one piece many women wear every single day. That is exactly why the material matters. Every pair of Loretana silver earrings is made from genuine 925 sterling silver and finished with rhodium for a shine that lasts. Below is how the main types differ, how to spot real silver, and how to choose a pair that stays with you.
Why silver earrings are worth wearing daily
Not all silver is equal. The 925 mark means a piece is 92.5 percent pure silver, strengthened with other metals so it holds its shape. Every Loretana pair is plated in rhodium, a rare white metal that resists tarnish and gives silver a deep, lasting shine.
All of our silver earrings are nickel free, so they suit sensitive skin. This is jewelry you can wear from morning to night without taking it off.
The types of silver earrings
The main difference comes down to shape and fastening. Here are the four types you will find in the Loretana collection.
| Type | Best for | Loretana example | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studs | Everyday minimalism, a first pair, the base of an ear stack | 925 Silver Round Solitaire Studs | from 32.99 EUR |
| Hoops | Versatility, a light accent for day and evening | 925 Silver Minimalist Hoops | 56.99 EUR |
| Interchangeable 2-in-1 | Two looks in one, when you want a single pair for many occasions | 925 Silver Blue Halo Interchangeable Hoops | 79.99 EUR |
| Sculptural | A stronger accent, when the form speaks for itself | 925 Silver Sculptural Wavy Hoops | 47.99 EUR |
See the full range in the silver earrings collection. Prices start at 25.99 EUR.
Interchangeable earrings: one pair, two styles
Interchangeable earrings are a Loretana signature. The stud base and the drop element connect with a threaded screw fitting. The mechanism is not magnetic and not a clip, so the element stays secure all day. One morning you wear a simple hoop, the next evening you screw on a colored stone.

How to spot real 925 silver
Genuine sterling silver carries a hallmark. MB Loretana is registered with the Lithuanian Assay Office (Lietuvos prabavimo rūmai), and our pieces carry the 925 international hallmark alongside our registered responsibility mark, so the marks on a piece are a sign of trust. If a piece has no mark at all, be cautious, as it may only be a silver colored alloy.
When choosing, look at three things: the hallmark, the quality of the plating, and the fastening. Together they tell you whether a pair will last for years or only one season.
Rhodium plating and why it matters
Rhodium is one of the rarest metals on earth, more valuable than gold. A thin rhodium layer over silver does three things. First, it resists tarnish, since silver naturally darkens in contact with air. Second, it is harder than silver, so it protects against scratches. Third, it makes the earrings even friendlier to sensitive skin.
Silver or gold plated
Many Loretana designs come in two versions. The silver version is 925 silver with rhodium plating. The gold version is the same 925 silver, plated in real 14K or 18K gold. This is not a gold colored imitation, it is genuine gold plating. Both versions cost the same, so you can choose purely by style.
How to care for silver earrings
Silver earrings need very little care. Wear them often, as the natural oils in your skin help keep the shine. Take them off before a shower and before sleep. Store them in a soft pouch or their box, away from moisture. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after wear.
How to choose your first pair
If you are buying your first silver earrings, start with studs or minimalist hoops. These are versatile shapes that suit everything. Later you can add an interchangeable pair that replaces several pieces at once. Looking for something meaningful as a gift? Loretana colored stones each carry a meaning: green for wealth, red for love, blue for protection, white for clarity.
Frequently asked questions
Do silver earrings tarnish?
Pure silver darkens over time, but Loretana earrings are rhodium plated, which greatly slows this down. With proper care they keep a bright shine for a long time.
Are silver earrings suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. All Loretana silver earrings are nickel free and rhodium plated, so they suit sensitive and allergy prone skin.
How is 925 silver different from ordinary silver?
The 925 mark means 92.5 percent pure silver. Pure silver is too soft for jewelry, so it is strengthened with other metals. The result is durable sterling silver.
Do Loretana earrings carry a hallmark?
Yes. Our pieces carry the 925 international hallmark alongside MB Loretana's registered responsibility mark, which is registered with the Lithuanian Assay Office (Lietuvos prabavimo rūmai).
How do I clean silver earrings at home?
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasives. A gentle wipe after wear is the best routine.
