Elowen Pavé Cross Stud Earrings

A small cross, set close and clean.

Each Elowen stud is a small cross fully pavé-set with cubic zirconia. The stones sit close together, so light catches along every edge. At about 9.9mm × 7.6mm, it sits quietly at the ear, with enough sparkle to notice and nothing loud.

The setting is rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, bright and cool, so the stones lead. A post with a butterfly back keeps it close to the lobe.

Wear the pair alone as a steady little detail, or add one to a curated ear. For the full set, pair them with the Elowen Pavé Cross Necklace.

The Elowen is part of Blooming Now, a collection made for the small, unhurried moments of coming into your own. Nothing here is loud. Each piece quietly holds its shape.

Quiet sparkle. Steady shape.

FAQ

What is the Elowen cross set with?
Each cross is fully pavé-set with cubic zirconia, so the light catches along every edge.

Are the stones real diamonds?
No. The stones are cubic zirconia, a lab-created stone.

How big are the Elowen studs?
Each cross measures about 9.9mm × 7.6mm. It's small and sits close to the lobe, but still reads clearly as a cross.

Is there a matching necklace?
Yes. The Elowen Pavé Cross Necklace uses the same pavé CZ cross. Wear the two together as a set.

How are these different from the Elowen VVS Moissanite Cross Studs?
Both are cross studs in the Elowen family. These are pavé-set with cubic zirconia, which matches the Elowen necklace. The moissanite version uses VVS moissanite, which shows stronger fire and is much harder, so it's the premium option.

How are these different from the Mini Cross barbell stud?
The Mini Cross is a plain, polished domed cross on a barbell, made for healed cartilage or lobe piercings. The Elowen is a pavé-set cross on a butterfly-back post, made for the lobe.

How do I put on butterfly-back studs?
Slide the post through your piercing, then push the butterfly onto the post until it sits snugly behind the lobe.

How do I care for pavé studs?
The pavé stones are small and closely set, so avoid knocking them against hard surfaces, and check now and then that none are loose. Keep the studs away from lotion and hairspray, which can cloud the stones, and store them in their pouch.

Will the Elowen studs tarnish?
Sterling silver can darken over time, and rhodium plating wears gradually with regular use, often faster in humid weather. Keep them dry and away from chemicals.

Can I shower or swim with them?
No. Take them off before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Water, sweat and chlorine speed up tarnishing on silver and dull the pavé stones.

Are they suitable for sensitive ears?
Rhodium plating over 925 sterling silver is well tolerated by most skin types, because the plating sits between the silver alloy and your skin. If your ears react easily to metals, the titanium pieces in MNML's Elements collection are the most reliable choice.
