Nickel-Free by Design

Reactions to earrings are almost always a nickel allergy, not a reaction to metal in general. Luna Dura builds on 925 sterling silver — often rhodium-plated — to keep nickel contact low and the surface smooth against the skin, which is why these earrings are chosen for daily comfort. "Hypoallergenic" here means designed to reduce the risk of irritation, not a medical guarantee; if you have a diagnosed metal allergy, patch-test a new piece first.

Are They Waterproof? The Honest Answer

No fine jewellery is truly waterproof, and we won't pretend otherwise. But rhodium — a platinum-group metal, the same finish that makes white gold bright — forms a hard barrier over the silver that resists water and tarnish far better than plain sterling. In practice that means handwashing, rain or a quick splash are no problem. For longevity, take them off for chlorinated pools and long hot showers, dry them after any contact, and return them to the box. Unlike the "waterproof" coated and polymer pieces sold online, these are real 925 sterling silver — honest metal, honestly cared for.

Does 925 Silver Tarnish? Climate Matters

Tarnish is driven by humidity and sulphur in the air — not by time. In dry air it barely occurs, so across much of the Gulf year 925 silver stays bright with almost no effort. In humid spells, or in humid countries like the UK, a soft-cloth wipe and dry storage keep it perfect — sterling silver has been worn there for centuries. Whether you live in the UAE or are visiting, silver travels well; rhodium plating slows tarnish further, and re-plating refreshes it if it ever dulls.

Styles for Sensitive Ears

• Studs — light posts and secure backs, the easiest choice for newly pierced or very sensitive ears.
• Hoops & huggies — 925 silver, often rhodium-plated, for everyday wear.
• Drops & dangles — lightweight construction so the weight never drags the lobe.
• Ear cuffs — no piercing — comfortable, adjustable, for anyone who can't or won't pierce.
• Ear climbers & crawlers — a modern statement that hugs the ear, kind to sensitive lobes.

Materials, Honestly

Every piece is solid, stamped 925 sterling silver, often rhodium- or gold-plated for finish and durability. Most designs are set with cubic zirconia, which we state plainly; where a natural stone or genuine freshwater pearl is used, it is named on the piece and checked by our in-house gemologist. We never present one material as another.

Everyday, Travel & Gifting

Light enough for all-day wear, secure enough not to think about, and easy to travel with — a considered gift for Eid, birthdays and anniversaries, or a comfortable everyday pair for anyone who has given up on earrings that irritate. Pair with 925 silver necklaces or silver bracelets for a full look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are 925 sterling silver earrings good for sensitive ears?

Yes — 925 sterling silver is one of the most widely chosen metals for sensitive ears because it is nickel-free or very low in nickel, and nickel is the usual cause of irritation. Ours are often rhodium-plated for an even smoother surface. It reduces the risk of a reaction rather than guaranteeing none; if you have a diagnosed allergy, patch-test first.

Are your earrings nickel-free, and can I wear them with a nickel allergy?

Our 925 silver is nickel-free or low-nickel, and rhodium plating adds a further barrier between skin and alloy. Most people with mild nickel sensitivity wear sterling silver comfortably. For a severe, diagnosed nickel allergy, we'd still suggest patch-testing a single piece before extended wear.

Are these earrings waterproof? Can I shower or swim in them?

Not waterproof — no fine silver is — but rhodium-plated 925 is genuinely water-resistant and shrugs off handwashing, rain and a splash. For the longest life, remove them for chlorinated pools and long hot showers, pat them dry after any contact, and store them in the box. They are real sterling silver, not a coated or polymer "waterproof" imitation.

Does 925 silver tarnish — especially in Dubai's climate?

Tarnish comes from humidity, not age. Dubai's air is dry for much of the year, so silver stays bright with barely any effort; in humid spells, a quick soft-cloth wipe and dry storage keep it perfect. It performs well even in humid countries like the UK with the same simple care — so it suits residents and travellers alike. Rhodium plating slows tarnish further and can be renewed.

What earrings are best for newly pierced or very sensitive ears?

Light 925 silver studs with secure backs are the gentlest choice for newly pierced or very sensitive ears — minimal weight, minimal movement. Rhodium-plated hoops and huggies also wear well once healed. Keep the piece clean and dry while a piercing settles.

Are cubic zirconia earrings hypoallergenic?

The stone isn't the issue — irritation comes from the metal touching your skin. Our cubic zirconia is set in nickel-free 925 sterling silver, so the earring as a whole is suited to sensitive ears. Cubic zirconia is disclosed on every piece that uses it.
