It depends on the size, closure style, and your personal preferences. However, we do not recommend sleeping in any fine jewelry—including hoops—as movement during sleep can cause pieces to catch on fabric, bend, or wear down over time. Gold is especially prone to gradual wear with friction, and preserving your jewelry’s condition helps it last for generations to come. When in doubt, it’s always best to remove your earrings before bed.
