Men's Earrings

Huggie hoops, flat studs, small crosses and feathers: steel earrings with a clean, masculine line.

Our mens earrings keep things simple: small huggie hoops that hug the lobe, flat disc studs, a cross or a feather that hangs just below the ear. In silver, gold or black stainless steel, they add a point of light near the face without asking for attention.

First earring or a new pair, start with the shape, then the color. No piercing? Our magnetic studs hold without one.

Men's Earrings

How to choose your first earring

Earrings for men come down to three shapes. The stud is the most discreet: our men's stud earrings are flat, polished discs in 9, 10 or 12 mm that sit flush on the lobe. The huggie hoop is the classic: the men's hoop earrings close on a hinge into a compact 9 mm hoop with a 4 mm band, visible but never swinging. The dangle brings movement: the cross earrings for men hang a small cross from a mini hoop, and the feather dangle earrings add a light, slightly bohemian touch. If you are unsure, a stud or a small hoop is the easiest way to start. Our guide to the types of earrings explains every shape and back.

One ear or both?

A single earring on one side gives a relaxed, slightly rock look; a pair looks more balanced and polished. There is no rule about which ear: choose the side people see most, or the one your hair leaves clear. With short hair or a fade, a hoop shows clearly; with longer hair it appears only when you move. If you have two piercings, mix shapes on the same ear, such as a stud above a cross. Every style is sold as a pair, so you can also wear one and keep the other in reserve.

Gold, silver or black

Gold earrings for men warm up the face and pair naturally with a gold chain, a gold watch or brown leather. Silver earrings for men are cooler and blend with steel watches, grey and navy, which makes them the easiest to wear every day. Black is the most understated: the black earrings for men use the same huggie in an all-black finish that absorbs the light instead of reflecting it. Keep one metal across the ear, wrist and fingers for a coherent look. Most of our pieces are made of stainless steel; the exact material and colors are listed on each product page.

No piercing: magnetic earrings

Want to try an earring before getting your ears pierced? The magnetic earrings for men look like a black stud: a black zircon set in black steel on the front of the lobe, held by a magnet behind it. They go on in a few seconds; just take them off before sport or a helmet. Find more pieces to match in our men's jewelry collection.

Questions

Good to know

Materials, sizes, shipping and returns: the answers to what you ask us most.

Which ear should a man wear an earring in?
Either ear works today; no side carries a particular meaning anymore. Choose the side most visible when people face you, or wear a pair for symmetry.
What size hoop suits a man?
A small huggie of around 9 mm is the easiest to wear: it stays close to the lobe and looks clean. Larger hoops are more visible and better suited to a bolder style.
Can I wear an earring without a piercing?
Yes, magnetic earrings sit on the front of the lobe and hold with a magnet behind it. They are a good way to see how an earring suits you before getting pierced.
Should I sleep with my earrings in?
It is better to take them off at night, especially hoops and dangles, which can catch on the pillow. Studs are less bothersome, but removing them also lets you clean the posts.
How do I clean men's earrings?
Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after wear and clean the posts regularly with mild soapy water, then dry them well. Our guide on how to clean earrings details each step.
