Materials & Quality
We’re on a mission to raise the standard for everyday earrings, because not all jewellery is created equal. At Smoothie, we believe what goes in your ears matters just as much as how it looks.
A lot of earrings on the market are gold-plated - but it’s what’s underneath that counts.
Whether it’s sterling silver, titanium, or stainless steel, we’re proud to be fully transparent about the metals we use. No mystery bases, no hidden copper or brass. Just high quality materials that are chosen for comfort, durability, and long-term wear - especially in sensitive piercings.
We don’t do vague claims. We do evidence-backed choices and earrings that feel as good as they look.
Let’s break it down:
Waterproof. Worry-proof. Made to live in.
Titanium
Our titanium flatbacks are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, the same material used in surgical implants. Designed for sensitive ears and cartilage piercings, these earrings are built for everyday, everywhere wear, including sleep, showers, and the gym.
Perfect for: Cartilage piercings, long-term wear, active lifestyles, and anyone who wants jewellery they never have to take off.
Everyday elegance. Lightweight luxury.
Sterling Silver
Unlike costume jewellery made with brass or copper, our huggies are crafted from solid 925 sterling silver - a precious metal known for its durability, long-term wear, and safe use on sensitive skin.
Choose from 18k gold plating or a sleek silver finish. These hoops are hypoallergenic, lightweight, and perfect for ear stacking - just remove them before showering to preserve their shine.
Perfect for: Lobe piercings, day-to-night styling, and curated ear stacks.
Waterproof, affordable, and built to last.
Stainless Steel
For our statement styles - like large hoops - we use high-quality 316L stainless steel, known for its strength and durability. These pieces are water-resistant and tarnish-resistant, making them perfect for long days and bold looks.
Perfect for: Bold looks, everyday statement styles, and low-maintenance glam.
