When buyers start sourcing earrings, the hardest part is rarely the factory - it is naming the style. A vague description leads to a quote that gets revised. This page collects 7 earring styles in stainless and titanium steel into one shared vocabulary, so you can point at a style number and ask for the changes you actually want.

One thing to be clear about before you scroll: the photographs show current market styles and are used here as references only. They are not products we have produced and they are not for sale as shown. We make jewelry to your specification - these images exist so that the specification conversation starts faster.

Why buyers use a style reference

A reference image does three jobs that a written description cannot. It fixes the scale, which is the detail most often misjudged from text. It shows how the parts read together - for earrings this is the setting, the proportion and how the piece sits as a finished item. And it gives both sides an honest starting point for price, because a style that needs stone setting or plating work quotes differently from a plain polished piece.

If you already have your own design, skip the reference entirely and send us the drawing or the sample. The reference set is for buyers who know their market but have not settled the design yet.

The 7 styles in this set

Each style carries a number (S01-S07). Quote with the number and the changes you want - metal color, plating, stone work, size, logo placement.

Materials and finishes behind these styles

This set spans studs and hoops in titanium steel and 316L stainless steel. S01, S06 and S09 are stud formats - S09 is a 316L cubic zirconia set sized 3 to 8mm, the base range for piercing and everyday wear. S02, S05, S08 and S10 are hoops and sets, with S10 adding a two-tone gold and silver finish. S04 and S07 carry zircon setting work, which adds setting labor per piece.

If you are weighing the two steel grades, the practical difference for earring is corrosion resistance at the skin - we cover it in 316L vs 304 stainless steel, and the same logic separates 316L from lighter titanium steel.

Turning a reference style into your own product

Pick a style number, then tell us what changes: metal grade, plating color and thickness, stone work, dimensions, and where your logo goes (tag, clasp, engraving or packaging). Sampling runs about 15 days. For production, the minimum order is 100 pieces per design, and metal jewelry lead time is around 45 days after sample approval.

If your questions are about sizing rather than styling, the bracelet and necklace size calculator gives you the measurement baseline we quote against. More factory-side references live on the free jewelry resources page, and the full set is indexed on the style reference library.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order the exact pieces shown on this page?

Not as shown. These are market reference styles photographed by their sellers, and we do not resell them. What we do is manufacture your version of any style here: you pick the number, specify changes, and we quote and sample against that spec.

What materials are these earrings made from?

The market listings describe titanium steel and stainless steel, several with zircon settings. For production we quote in 316L stainless as standard because of its skin-contact corrosion resistance, with titanium steel and brass-based options available depending on the finish you want. S09 is already specified as 316L in its listing.

Can you put my own brand on a style like these?

Yes. Logo options on these styles include tag engraving, clasp stamping, laser marking on the back of the piece, and branded packaging. The engraving platforms in this set (the plate and letter styles) are the easiest places for a visible brand mark. Minimum order is 100 pieces per design.

How do I get a quote for one of these styles?

Send the style number, your target quantity, and the changes you want - metal color, stone work, size, logo placement. We reply within 24 hours with a price and a sampling plan.

What this means for your order

If you are still deciding, shortlist two or three style numbers and tell us what your market is - we will tell you which of them fits your price band and which details drive the cost up, before you commit to sampling anything.

Where this falls short the photographs are sellers' market shots, so fine details like plating thickness, stone size and clasp hardware cannot be confirmed from the images alone. Those get pinned down at sampling, not from this page.

What to send us two or three style numbers, your quantity, and the changes you want, and we will come back within 24 hours - contact the factory.
