Birthstone Nap Earrings: What They Are & How to Wear Them

What Are Birthstone Nap Earrings?

What exactly are birthstone nap earrings?

Birthstone nap earrings are small, flat-backed stud earrings designed for comfortable wear during sleep. They feature a genuine gemstone that corresponds to a birth month — for example, pearl for June, opal for October, or peridot for August. The earring top is just 3mm in diameter, with a 6mm post length and a 20g gauge, making them ideal for first or second lobe piercings.

How are they different from regular stud earrings?

Unlike many fashion studs that have butterfly backs or longer posts, birthstone nap earrings use a short 6mm post and a flat back to minimize pressure when lying down. They are made from medical-grade titanium with PVD plating, are hypoallergenic, waterproof, and tarnish resistant — features not always found in standard earrings.

Birthstone Options at a Glance

• Pearl Nap Earrings, 3mm: Pearl Nap Earrings, 3mm — A pearl for June: patience, intuition, and a sense of wisdom. Pearl is a classic birthstone for June birthdays, and these earrings offer a subtle, luminous look that works for both sleep and daily wear.

  

• Opal Nap Earrings: Opal Nap Earrings — An opal for October: movement, imagination, and growth from shifting perspectives. Opal’s iridescent play-of-color makes it a distinctive choice for October birthdays, while the 3mm size keeps it comfortable under a pillow.

  

• Peridot Nap Earrings: Peridot Nap Earrings — A peridot for August: brightness, renewal, and a lightness that lifts everything around it. Peridot’s bright green hue adds a pop of color, and the 3mm width ensures it won’t snag on hair or bedding.

Sizing and Fit Questions

Will birthstone nap earrings fit my piercing?

Yes, if you have a standard lobe piercing. The post gauge is 20g (standard piercing size) and the post length is 6mm, which fits most first and second lobe piercings. The earring top is 3mm in diameter, so it sits flush against the ear without protruding.

Can I wear them in cartilage piercings?

The supplied information does not confirm compatibility with cartilage piercings. The 6mm post length and 3mm top are designed for lobe piercings. For cartilage, you may need a longer post — check with your piercer before wearing.

Materials and Care

What materials are birthstone nap earrings made from?

They are made from medical-grade titanium with gemstones (pearl, opal, or peridot). The gold finish uses 18K or 14K gold PVD plating, and the silver finish uses platinum PVD plating. All are hypoallergenic, waterproof, and tarnish resistant.

How do I care for them?

To maintain shine, polish with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, as these may damage the PVD plating or gemstone. The earrings are waterproof, so occasional contact with water is fine, but dry them gently after.

Wearing Birthstone Nap Earrings

How do I insert birthstone nap earrings?

The earrings use a push-pin or threaded flat back (specific mechanism not confirmed in the supplied records). Clean your hands and the earring before insertion. Gently insert the post through your piercing and secure the flat back. Remove and clean periodically.

Can I wear them all day and night?

Yes, that is the intended use. Their low-profile design (3mm top, flat back) and hypoallergenic materials make them suitable for continuous wear. However, remove them occasionally to clean both the earrings and your piercing.
