How SnapMags are different

See the difference behind the ear.

Traditional magnetic earrings hold on with a flat disc magnet.

SnapMags use a magnetic stem instead.

How it works

Three steps. No piercing.

  1. Pick Your Pair

    Choose your preferred size and finish.

  2. Align & Snap

    Position the stud and magnetic back on opposite sides of your earlobe.

  3. Wear Your Look

    Enjoy the appearance of a traditional stud without needing a piercing.

Good to know

Sizing, care and safety

Sizing

The number is the width of the front piece. 8mm is closer to a standard stud and shows more. 6mm is smaller and subtler. Both sizes use the same magnetic stem.

Care

Wipe with a soft dry cloth and avoid soaking them in water. If you lose a stem, the 4-piece Replacement Stem Kit is sold separately, and the 2-pair package includes one.

Safety

We do not recommend sleeping in them. Magnetic jewelry is not recommended for anyone with a pacemaker or implanted medical device, and small magnets are a swallowing hazard for children and pets.
