Frequently asked questions about earrings

What earring styles does BILARRI make?

BILARRI earrings are designed in drop and huggie styles, plus a range of everyday designs, in 925 sterling silver and 18K gold stainless steel. Drop earrings hang below the lobe and add movement. Huggie earrings sit close to the lobe and suit daily wear. 
What are huggie earrings?

Huggie earrings are small, snug hoops that hug the earlobe. They are comfortable for all-day wear, easy to stack with other earrings, and are one of the most versatile everyday styles. Their close fit also keeps them secure during normal activity.
What are drop earrings?

Drop earrings hang below the earlobe, usually on a short post or hook. They draw attention to the jawline and neck and range from subtle to statement. A short drop, around 2 to 3 cm, suits daytime wear, and a longer drop suits evenings.
What is the difference between drop and huggie earrings?

Huggies sit close to the ear and stay put, so they suit all-day and everyday wear. Drops move with you and make more of a statement, so they suit dressing up or adding detail to a simple outfit. Many people own both and choose by occasion.
Can I shower or swim in my earrings?

We recommend removing earrings before showering and always before swimming. Water, soap, chlorine and salt shorten the life of sterling silver and of gold finishes alike. Dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.
How do I clean silver earrings?

Wipe each earring with a soft polishing cloth after wear. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse and dry fully. Clean the post and back gently, as residue from skin oils builds up there. Avoid abrasive cleaners and silver dips on stone settings.
How do I care for earrings with red stones?

Clean red stone earrings with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid soaking them or using ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen settings. Store them separately from harder gemstones to avoid scratching. 
How long should drop earrings be for my face shape?

A general guide to choosing length and shape:

  • Round face: longer, narrow drops create a lengthening line.
  • Square face: soft, curved drops balance strong angles.
  • Oval face: most lengths and shapes work.
  • Heart-shaped face: drops that widen towards the bottom balance a narrower chin.

This is a styling guide rather than a rule. Choose what feels like you.
Should I choose silver or gold earrings?

Choose by your existing jewellery and skin tone. Silver suits cooler undertones and pairs well with most wardrobes. Gold suits warmer undertones and adds warmth to neutrals. If you are unsure, hold each against your inner wrist in daylight and see which tone feels more natural.
What earrings make a good gift?

Huggies are the safest gift because they suit most styles and need no sizing. Drop earrings suit someone who already wears statement pieces. Match the metal to what the recipient already wears: silver for cool tones and gold for warm tones.
How do I clean gold stainless steel earrings?

Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry fully. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. Keep earrings away from perfume and hairspray, which can dull the finish.
What earrings suit everyday wear?

Huggies and shorter drops in sterling silver or gold stainless steel are the most practical everyday choices. They are light, secure and easy to match with other jewellery. Choose a style you can forget you are wearing.
Are sterling silver earrings good for sensitive ears?

Many people with sensitive ears find sterling silver comfortable, since it is a precious metal alloy rather than a coated base metal. Sensitivity varies from person to person, and some alloys contain trace metals that can trigger reactions. [confirm: state nickel free status for posts and hooks.] If you have a known metal allergy, check the material details first.
