How to wear it
The small cross hangs just below the lobe from a hinged hoop that snaps shut, so it stays put through the day. Worn as a single earring it gives a sharp, minimal accent; as a pair it frames the face more evenly. Black suits dark clothes and a gothic look, silver and gold are softer.
The stainless steel can stay in for the shower and the gym. Mix it with a plain stud or a small hoop in the other ear, or wear the pair to Mass and through the week.
Questions
Is it sold as a pair or as a single earring?
Both. Choose Pair or Single in the options: the single is for someone with one piercing or who likes an asymmetric look.
How does the hinged hoop close?
The hoop opens on a small hinge, passes through the piercing and clicks shut. There is no separate back to lose.
Can a man wear these earrings?
Yes. A single black cross on one ear is a common way for men to wear a cross.
Black, gold or silver: which Dark Cross earring suits a sober style?
Black. It gives the cross a dark, almost monastic feel, while silver matches steel jewelry and gold tone suits warmer metals. All three are the same polished stainless steel.
Will it fit a standard piercing?
Yes. A hinged hoop like this one goes through a standard ear lobe piercing.
Can I sleep or shower with them in?
You can shower with them: stainless steel does not rust. For sleep, many people prefer to take hoops out so they do not catch on the pillow.

Dens betydning
The empty cross, in black
A plain cross, without the figure of Christ, is the form most Protestant churches prefer, since it points to the resurrection as well as the death. Catholics and Orthodox Christians also use the empty cross, alongside the crucifix. Black has its own place in Christian life: Benedictines were long called the Black Monks after the color of their habits, and black vestments were once used on Good Friday. Worn at the ear, a small cross stays discreet. These hang from small hinged hoops, sold as a single earring or a pair, in black, gold or...
Som gave
For a teenager who dresses all in black and still goes to Mass, it is a gift that fits both. Buy a single earring for someone with one piercing, or the pair for Christmas.
