STUDIYO earrings are designed for everyday comfort. Our styles are lightweight so they sit comfortably on the ear without feeling heavy over time.

All pierced earrings are also made from 304 stainless steel (commonly used for sensitive skin) and finished with a hypoallergenic PVD coating, which creates an additional barrier between the metal and your skin.

Many customers with sensitive ears are able to wear STUDIYO pieces daily.

Great question! STUDIYO pieces are made from a combination of 304 stainless steel, brass, and PVD coatings, along with enamel and semi-precious stones on select designs. Each material is chosen based on the form and function of the piece.

Here’s a breakdown:

304 Stainless Steel

Most STUDIYO pieces use 304 stainless steel as the base metal. It is a durable, tarnish-resistant metal that holds its shape well over time, which allows us to create clean lines and precise forms that don’t easily bend or warp with normal wear.

Stainless steel is widely used in body jewelry because it is corrosion-resistant, low maintenance, and generally well tolerated by people with sensitive skin.

Brass

Some designs use brass as the base metal. Brass allows for more detailed casting and sculptural forms, which is important for some of the more intricate STUDIYO designs.

These pieces are always finished with a protective PVD coating, so the brass is not what you feel on the surface.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)

All STUDIYO pieces are finished with PVD coating, which is a vacuum-bonded finish that gives the jewelry its gold, rose gold, black, or silver color.

PVD is more durable than traditional gold plating and is commonly used on watches and hardware because of its strength and color longevity. It also creates a barrier between the base metal and your skin.

Enamel

Some pieces include enamel, which is a glass coating fused to the metal to add color and contrast. Enamel is durable but can chip if dropped or hit against hard surfaces, so those pieces should be handled with a bit more care.

Semi-Precious Stones (White Jade)

Some designs feature white jade, a smooth semi-precious stone with a soft, milky appearance. These stones are set by hand and should not be submerged in water for long periods.

Yes, you can wear your jewelry for everyday things like hand washing or a quick shower.

For long-term care, we recommend removing your jewelry before exercise, swimming, hot tubs, or extended exposure to saltwater or chlorine, as these can wear down finishes over time.
