FAQ's
1. Are these hypoallergenic earrings safe for kids to wear to the pool, in the shower, and during sports?
Yes! Our implant-grade titanium is naturally tarnish-resistant, waterproof, and exceptionally durable, making it ideal for active children. Whether your child is at ballet, soccer practice, or cannonballing in the pool, their earrings will stay secure, and their ears will stay calm. No irritation, no rusting, no worries.
2. How long can my child wear your earrings?
Our earrings are designed for continuous 24/7 wear, including while sleeping. They are hypoallergenic, 100% nickel-free, and comfortable enough for all-day use. The only maintenance needed is a quick clean (front and back) during bath time or in the shower to remove debris from the posts.
3. What metals are in your earrings?
Nickel is the leading cause of contact dermatitis in children’s ears. Grayling was founded over fifteen years ago by a woman who lives with a nickel allergy, which is why we work exclusively in F-136 implant-grade titanium, 14k solid gold, and surgical steel, all independently tested for allergens and toxic metals.
A mill certificate backs every metal we use and ensures it meets ASTM safety standards, making our earrings suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
4. Will your hypoallergenic earrings for kids tarnish or discolor?
No. Our earrings are completely tarnish-proof and will not discolor, fade, or stain your child’s skin. Implant-grade titanium is naturally inert. It doesn’t oxidize, corrode, or react with sweat, shampoo, pool water, or sensitive skin. Your child can wear their earrings 24/7 without worrying about green ears or cloudy stones. With proper care, they’ll look just as beautiful as the day you received them.
5. Which styles are best for kids’ sensitive ears?
All our earrings are safe for kids, but here are some parent favorites for small earlobes:
- Flat Back Earrings (8mm or smaller): comfortable, snag-free, great for sleep.
- Huggies (12mm or smaller): smooth, secure, perfect for active play.
- Mya Hinged Segment Rings: excellent for infants and toddlers; completely smooth.
For tiny lobes, dainty studs like our Sphere or Heart designs work beautifully. For infants, we recommend smooth, flush styles to avoid catching on clothing or blankets.
6. How do I choose the right earrings for my child’s activities?
Consider what sports they play and whether their coach allows jewelry. If your child needs earrings, they can be removed quickly for practice. Choose:
- Mya Hinged Segment Rings
- Elevate Titanium Locking Sleeper Huggies
- Ascend CZ Titanium Locking Sleeper Huggies
These styles are easy to remove, hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and designed to avoid snagging on clothing or hair.
7. At what ages can you safely wear your hypoallergenic earrings?
Our earrings are safe for all ages, from infants to teens. For children under 8, we recommend avoiding pointed or extra-large designs; smooth shapes and tiny studs tend to be the most comfortable. Customer favorites for kids include: Gaia Floating Butterfly, Solitaire, Opal, and Daisy: all lightweight, hypoallergenic, and sized perfectly for smaller lobes.
8. Can kids sleep in Grayling earrings?
Yes. Our flat-backs and locking huggies feature smooth edges and low-profile backs, making them comfortable for 24/7 wear.
9. Are these earrings okay for first piercings?
Many professional piercers recommend implant-grade titanium for new piercings because it’s highly biocompatible and nickel-free. Always follow your piercer’s guidance, but yes, our titanium flat-backs are built with healing and comfort in mind.
10. What if my child is highly sensitive to jewelry?
Start with implant-grade titanium; it’s one of the safest materials available. If you still feel unsure, reach out to us! We’re real people, and we’ll help you find the gentlest option.
