Sterling Silver Sleepers - 1.2mm Thickness

Sterling Silver Sleepers – 1.2mm Fine Wire in Four Diameter Sizes

The everyday earring, perfected — our Sterling Silver Sleepers in 1.2mm thickness are a wardrobe essential for anyone who values comfort, simplicity, and lasting quality. Crafted in 925 sterling silver, these classic sleeper hoops are lightweight enough to forget you're wearing them and refined enough to suit any occasion. Available in four diameters from 10mm to 16mm, there's a size for every preference — from a close, subtle fit to a more open, relaxed hoop.

• Metal: 925 sterling silver — polished finish, hypoallergenic, suitable for sensitive ears
• Thickness: 1.2mm — fine and lightweight, the slimmest sleeper in the range
• Sizes available: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm diameter
• Closure: Sleeper hinge — secure, self-closing, and easy to put on and take off
• Wearability: Ideal for school, work, and everyday wear — comfortable for extended wear

The sleeper earring is one of the most practical and enduring designs in fine jewellery — its hinged, self-closing construction means no backs to lose, no fiddly clasps, and a secure fit that stays in place through an active day. At 1.2mm wire thickness, these are the finest sleepers in the Silver Image range: lightweight on the lobe, with a delicate profile that suits both first earring wearers and those who prefer a minimal, understated hoop. The four diameter options allow for genuine personalisation — 10mm sits close to the lobe for a subtle, almost stud-like presence; 12mm is the most versatile everyday size; 14mm offers a slightly more open hoop; and 16mm provides a relaxed, casual feel without crossing into statement territory.

Perfect For: Birthdays, Christmas, and as a first fine jewellery gift for younger wearers. An ideal school earring given its secure sleeper closure and hypoallergenic sterling silver construction. Also a reliable everyday hoop for adults who want a no-fuss, always-appropriate earring. Available in four sizes to suit different lobe sizes and style preferences.

Imagine these sleepers in — the fine 1.2mm hoop sitting close to the lobe, the polished sterling silver catching the light with a clean, quiet gleam. The kind of earring you put in on a Monday morning and don't think about again until you take them out on Sunday night.
