Product Insights
The Étoile Earrings offer a versatile, water-resistant everyday stud with a stainless steel core and gold plating, designed to appear larger and coordinate with matching pieces; however, the plating may wear with daily use and requires careful maintenance, and while the one-year warranty mitigates plating defects, some buyers question review authenticity and note the gold can wear quickly.
Verified claims
- Durability
- Stainless steel core avoids base corrosion; some users report gold plating wears with daily use.
- Care tips
- Daily wipe-down and post-activity rinse significantly extend gold-plating life.
- Warranty
- Twenty Compass includes a one-year warranty with the Étoile Earrings, a guarantee uncommon among similarly priced plated studs, providing a direct remedy for durability concerns.
- Nickel risk
- Plated gold stainless steel: 316L base is inert, but gold plating may contain trace nickel.
- Versatility
- The design is described as adapting equally to jeans and a t-shirt or to an evening dress for a well-measured touch of character.
- Layering
- Designed to coordinate with matching Étoile necklace and ring for a complete set.
- Heritage
- Twenty Compass was founded in Montreal in 2015 by Laurence Bédard, who began crafting jewelry for friends in high school.
- Design
- The puffed, rounded 2 cm star creates reflective play that reads as a statement piece, and the brand styles it with the matching Étoile necklace and Riba bracelets.
- Value
- At $29.95, the 20 mm face is 67% larger than a $34.99 alternate and includes a 1-year warranty.
- Water resistance
- IP-plated over 316L stainless steel resists water, sweat, and tarnish daily.
- Customer service
- Buyers report difficulty getting refunds, and some note the gold plating wears quickly with daily wear.
- Review integrity
- Buyers report the company may delete negative reviews.
- Care routine
- The gold plating is protected by applying beauty products before wear, a daily microfiber wipe, and a rinse after swimming.
- Weight feel
- Lighter than sterling silver, some find it too light.
- Comfort
- Stainless steel is generally hypoallergenic, but the gold plating may contain trace nickel; buyers with severe nickel allergies should use caution.
- Closure security
- Push-back closure is secure but may loosen over time.
- Visual presence
- Convex star shape and reflective finish make the 2 cm earrings appear larger than they are.
- Set price
- Complete set costs $134.95; earrings on sale at $29.95.
- Coordinated styling
- Brand content styles earrings with matching necklace and bracelets.
- Design origin
- The Étoile Earrings are part of a Canadian direct-to-consumer jewelry line designed in Canada and sold at Simons for under $45.
- Size and price comparison
- At $29.95 on sale, the Étoile Earrings are $5 less than the Glozya Two-Tone Star Stud while offering a 20mm face nearly twice the width of Glozya's 12mm star.

Low-effort everyday studs for pierced ears
These star studs fasten with a push back closure made for pierced ears, and the brand describes them as water resistant and hypoallergenic — its jewelry is made to resist water, sweat, and tarnish for everyday, everywhere wear. A source describing the Étoile style highlights their versatility, worn with anything from jeans and a t-shirt to an evening dress, noting they deliver the impact of larger earrings with half the volume and zero effort.[1,2,4,5]
Everyday studs that dress up or down
These star earrings are described as working with jeans and a t-shirt for an effortless effect, or with an evening dress for a well-measured touch of character. They're framed as studs you'll never take off, since they achieve as much as larger earrings with half the volume.[2]
Styled as a coordinated summer set
Twenty Compass styles the Étoile earrings together with the matching Étoile necklace and Riba bracelets, calling the combination its it-girl summer stack. This pairing suggests an option for wearing the earrings as part of a coordinated jewellery set. The styling comes from the brand's own post, so it reflects how the pieces are presented rather than a guaranteed look.[3]
