Product Insights
The Mia Earrings by Midi34 are 3mm sterling silver studs with a colon motif marking personal moments, designed and assembled in Quebec City since 2017 and shown at Milan Fashion Week, covered by Harper's Bazaar and Elle.

Verified claims
- Fashion credibility
- Shown at September 2024 Milan Fashion Week; covered by Harper's Bazaar and Elle.
- Design story
- Each piece marks a personal moment through a colon motif referencing digital time.
- Sensitive ears
- The silver variant is solid 925 sterling silver, typically alloyed with copper rather than nickel and generally considered hypoallergenic, though the manufacturer provides no specific nickel-free certification. The gold variant uses a 14k gold plate over a 925 sterling silver base rather than plated brass.
- Tarnish prevention
- Remove earrings before swimming and store in anti-tarnish pouch to prevent tarnish.
- Cleaning
- Clean with a soft dry cloth; do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
- Durability
- Earrings experience low friction, so vermeil lasts longer than rings.
- Security
- Spring-loaded butterfly back grips the post, sufficient for the 3mm stud's weight.
- Convenience
- The push-back closure allows the studs to be inserted and removed in seconds with one hand.
- Comfort
- The lightweight 3mm construction and push-back closure make the studs comfortable enough for continuous wear, including overnight.
- Size
- 3mm stud is roughly pencil-tip sized, the 'Very Subtle' everyday stud.
- Versatility
- 3mm stud fits layered ear stylings and conservative dress codes.
- Everyday wear
- The 3mm stud is light and comfortable for continuous wear, including overnight; its spring-loaded push-back closure is adequate for casual everyday wear and allows one-handed on/off.
- Materials
- For the silver variant, 925 sterling silver is solid, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic.
- Use cases
- The discreet 3mm stud is suitable for second piercings, conservative dress codes, and children.
- Brand authenticity
- Midi34 is a legitimate Quebec-based brand sold at Simons, unlike scam 'Mia' sites using AI images and drop-shipping.
- Local production
- Designed and assembled in Quebec City since 2017.
- Value
- At $39, undercuts comparable Mejuri studs by 30-50%.
- Visual scale
- At 3mm, the Mia stud reads as a small polished dot on the earlobe, roughly the width of a pencil tip or a smartphone charging cable.
- Size perception
- Several buyers describe the earrings as smaller than expected, while others say they are discreet and exactly what they wanted.
- Hallmark verification
- The post or back is stamped 925, .925, or Sterling, giving an on-the-spot visual check that the earrings meet the 92.5% sterling silver standard.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Mia Earrings: Choose this if you want a delicate, timeless ball stud for daily or office wear and special occasions, with reviewers describing the petite 3 mm size as discreet yet sophisticated. They're made for pierced ears with a push back closure, in a 14k gold-plated sterling silver gold finish or a 925 sterling silver silver finish. Note that they run smaller than some buyers expect, so check the dimensions if you prefer a more noticeable earring.[1] | Valérie Earrings: Choose this if you want tiny, barely-there studs for a second ear piercing, cartilage hole, or discreet everyday wear: they measure just 2 mm long, are made of 925 sterling silver (or 14k gold plated sterling silver in the gold finish), and have a delicate white zircon in a four-prong setting with push-back closures for pierced ears. Note that many reviewers found them much smaller than the listing photos suggested, so they can appear as a mere dot and may be nearly invisible when worn as your main earring. Earrings are final sale, so it is worth being certain of the size and finish before ordering.[2,3,4] | Evelyne Earrings: Choose these if you want versatile gold vermeil hoops made of 925 sterling silver with 14k gold plating, as each thin hoop has a single freshwater pearl that can be removed so you can wear them with or without the charm. They measure 22 millimetres in diameter with a 2 millimetre thickness (about 3.5 centimetres long including the pearl), and the post and hook clasp is designed for pierced ears. Note that these are only suitable if you have pierced ears.[5,6,7] |

Positive review of Mia jewelry quality for sensitive skin
Perso j’ai tellement une peau fragile et c’est les seules bagues que je suis capable de porter sans faire de réaction. Leurs bijoux sont vraiment de qualité, les pierres ne tombent pas, la couleur ne ternit pas (je ne les enlève jamais).

Scam alert: Emma & Mia earrings found on Temu for $3
I just found a pair of their "handmade" earrings priced at $35 being sold on Temu for $3. It's a pretty big scam. There are about 40 sites created by 1 company. They are all similar.

Non-delivery and poor service from Mia Jewelry Atelier
I ordered back in July and never received the merchandise and have exactly 23 responses from them telling me to be patient. They finally acknowledged the refund was in the process of being approved by their managers. Still haven’t got it three weeks later. SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!!!!
