In Season Sterling Silver CZ Stud Earrings vs Ball Hypoallergenic Stud Earrings

For a baby or toddler, buy the In Season Jewelry sterling silver studs: the screw backs stay put through naps and play, and the 2mm size suits small earlobes. The Ball studs are the better pick for an older child or an adult who wants a set of three pairs in mixed tones and can wear stainless steel 24/7. Owners of the Ball studs rate them higher and praise comfort and waterproof wear, but some report a wonky setting and a few still had irritation. The In Season pair is real 925 silver with a single small CZ; the Ball set is 316L steel with PVD coating, so it is tougher but not a precious metal.

• Choose the In Season Jewelry studs if you are piercing or dressing a baby or toddler and need screw backs that will not fall out and metal gentle on new ears.
• Choose the Ball studs if you want three pairs in silver, gray and gold tones for an older child or yourself, with waterproof, tarnish-free everyday wear.
