Sterling Silver 3mm CZ Baby Earrings vs Massete 14k Gold Ball Stud Earrings

Buy the 14k solid gold ball studs for a child who will wear them daily for years: solid gold does not tarnish or flake, and the flat covered screwback is the most secure back for babies and toddlers. Buy the sterling silver CZ studs if you want a small sparkly look and a screwback at a lower entry point, accepting that silver darkens over time and the prong setting can catch on hair and clothing. Reviewers of the gold pair praise the polish and the secure closure but note the posts run short.

• Choose the sterling silver CZ studs if you want a 3mm sparkle with a threaded screw back and ASTM F2923 compliance for a baby or toddler.
• Choose the Massete 14k solid gold ball studs if you want a metal that will not tarnish, a flat covered screwback, and sizes up to 5mm in yellow, white or rose gold.
