Pandora studs are made from high-quality materials, so they’re shiny, durable and comfortable to wear. Most Pandora jewelry is made with 14k gold plating and sterling silver, which are less likely to irritate the skin than other materials. Our sterling silver jewelry is made from 92.5% pure silver and a blend of other metal alloys, so it feels as good as it looks. Our 14k gold-plated jewelry features a thin layer of 14k gold plated over a layer of palladium, which is a strong, hypoallergenic material that doesn’t irritate the ears.
