Rocker Cross Earrings — .925 Sterling Silver with 14K Gold Accent
SKU: 3657
Fourteen millimeters across and seven grams on the scale — small enough to wear under a helmet, substantial enough to catch light from across a bar. These rocker cross earrings pair .925 sterling silver hoops with a 14K gold-plated budded cross that sits flat against the lobe. Two metals, one bold statement, butterfly backs that stay put all day.
Wear This If
If you ride and want earrings that don't interfere — 14mm hoops slide under helmet padding without catching. The butterfly back locks secure, so highway wind won't shake them loose. Silver and gold means they match both polished and oxidized pieces you already wear.
If you play music or perform — The two-tone cross catches stage lighting differently depending on the angle. Gold flashes warm, oxidized silver reads dark. At 7 grams for the pair, you forget they're there during a long set.
If you want cross jewelry without the Sunday morning look — The budded cross with Latin-style engravings on the hoop gives these a gothic-medieval character. They read as rocker, not choir. Pair them with leather jackets and band tees — that's where the two-tone design lands best.
Living With These
The oxidized finish on the silver hoop gives the surface a darkened, aged look. It's intentional — the contrast makes the gold cross pop harder. Over time, spots where the hoop rests against skin may brighten slightly. The 14K gold plating on the budded cross holds up to daily wear without flaking.
At 14mm, these are compact hoops. They don't dangle or swing. The butterfly back keeps each earring snug against the lobe — secure enough for riding, sleeping in, or active days. The .925 hallmark is stamped on the back of each earring.
Heads up: The oxidized patina deepens with skin contact and sweat. If you want to maintain the original contrast, a light buff with a silver cloth every few weeks keeps them consistent. But most people prefer the way the patina evolves naturally.
Sterling silver is hypoallergenic — safe for sensitive ears. No nickel in the .925 alloy, so the post that goes through your piercing is skin-friendly.
What's Inside
Good Questions
Q: Are these safe for sensitive ears?
Yes. The .925 sterling silver alloy is hypoallergenic — no nickel, no irritation. The post going through your ear is solid silver. The gold plating is only on the cross accent, which sits on the front face of the hoop.
Q: Will the gold plating on the cross wear off?
The 14K gold plating is on the budded cross, which sits flat on the hoop face with minimal friction contact. It holds up well with normal daily wear. Avoid cleaning the gold section with abrasive silver polish — a soft dry cloth is all you need for that area.
Q: Can I wear just one earring?
Absolutely. Single-ear wearing is common with cross earrings. The two-tone design is detailed enough to work as a solo statement on either side. You get the pair, so the spare is ready whenever you want the full set.
