Sleeper Earrings

Sleeper Earrings

Thomas Sabo sleeper earrings are small, light hoops designed to be worn all the time, including overnight — which is where the name comes from. They sit close to the ear and stay out of the way, making them a practical choice for everyday and for keeping a piercing comfortable. They come in sterling silver and gold-toned finishes.

Sleepers are the most understated style of hoop, so they suit daily wear and layering with other earrings rather than standing out on their own. Plain sleepers are the most versatile, while small stone-set versions add a little sparkle without much bulk. Their small size also makes them easy to wear in a second or third piercing.

Why people wear them

A few reasons sleepers suit everyday:

• Small and light, so they're comfortable all day.
• Sit close to the ear and don't catch easily.
• Easy to stack across multiple piercings.

Care

Put sleepers on after perfume, makeup and hairspray, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth. Store them apart from harder pieces so they don't scratch, and keep them dry. Sterling silver darkens over time, which a polishing cloth fixes; gold-toned finishes last longer away from friction.

Gifting

Stacking and travel

Their small size makes sleepers ideal for a second or third piercing, where a larger hoop would crowd the ear. Stacking a couple of sleepers up the ear keeps a clean, understated line, especially in one metal tone. They're also an easy travel earring — light, hard to snag and fine to leave in — which is part of why people keep a plain pair as their default.

Sleepers make an easy, practical gift since there's no sizing involved and they suit almost anyone. A plain pair is a safe everyday choice, especially for someone with a newer or second piercing. We ship Australia-wide and Afterpay is available at checkout.
