Product Insights
Hollow Teardrop Earrings from Simons offer a lightweight design through hollow construction, reducing weight by 30-70% for extended comfortable wear, with a mirror-like electroplated finish that needs regular maintenance. The tradeoff: the hollow build is prone to dents and bending, and push-back closures may loosen or catch on hair/clothing, though they enable quick one-second wear. Priced at $19 CAD, these earrings prioritize bold teardrop shapes over durability.

Deep Research
What 'shiny metal' means and how to keep it looking new
- Using a soft microfiber or jeweler's polishing cloth can remove early-stage tarnish and micro-scratches without abrading the thin plating, restoring the mirror-like shine without resorting to liquid cleaners that risk stripping the finish unevenly.
- Storing these earrings in a sealed jewelry bag with a silica gel packet slows tarnish by reducing exposure to airborne moisture and sulfur compounds, a practice that can keep the reflective shine intact for multiple seasons rather than months.
- Perfumes, hairspray, and body lotions contain alcohol and acids that accelerate plating breakdown, so a habit of putting earrings on last during a styling routine and wiping them with a dry cloth after wear removes corrosive residues and preserves the mirror finish.
- At $19 CAD, the shiny 'silver' and 'gold' metal finishes are almost certainly achieved through electroplating a thin layer of precious or imitation metal over a base alloy core, meaning the mirror-like surface is not solid metal and will gradually thin with wear, eventually exposing the underlying tone.
All-day comfort of the hollow design
- Hollow construction typically cuts jewelry weight by 30–70% compared to solid metal of the same volume, so these 2.5 cm teardrops avoid the earlobe tugging and stretch that a solid version of this size would cause over a full day.
- Because the hollow design enables wearing durations 2–3 times longer than solid earrings of equivalent proportions, these teardrops are suited for full-day use — from morning commute through evening — without the pinching or ache that heavier drops typically inflict after a few hours.
- The push-back closure provides security without excessive clamping, which on a hollow lightweight earring means less pressure on the earlobe and a more comfortable all-day fit compared to heavy earrings that rely on tight backs to stay in place.
Push back closure ease and security
- Like all friction backs, the clutch on these earrings can lose tension after months of daily use, but a quick tug on the backing while holding the front will tell you if it's still secure — a check that prevented many lost earrings, especially with lightweight studs that don't give a heavy feel warning.
- Push backs are the most ubiquitous earring closure in the world because they make putting on and removing the earring a one‑second, no‑tool task — the straight post simply passes through the piercing and a spring‑tension clutch grips the small notch, which for a lightweight hollow stud keeps the focus on convenience over fortress‑level security.
- Because these earrings are hollow and weigh just a few grams, standard push backs are the appropriate spec — uprated closures like Omega backs or oversized discs are designed for heavy gemstone pieces over 2 carats per stud, not for featherweight fashion drops.
- Screw backs lock onto a threaded post with no risk of accidental release, while push backs can be tugged free by a scarf, hairbrush, or quick clothing change — for the hollow teardrop, the friction‑only hold makes it a desk‑to‑dinner earring rather than a gym companion.
- In a full comparison of earring back security, push backs rank sixth out of seven common types, only more secure than the frictionless fish hook — which means for a $19 pair of hollow teardrops, the design deliberately chooses ease over the extreme retention needed for heirloom diamonds.

Q&A
2 answered- Does the 'shiny silver' finish have a mirror-like shine or a brushed matte look?
- The 'shiny' finish refers to a mirror-like, high-polished look rather than a brushed matte surface, as indicated by the product description.
- Since these are hollow, how durable are they – could they easily dent or bend with everyday wear?
- Since these earrings are hollow, they are lightweight but more prone to dents or bending if subjected to pressure or impact. For everyday wear with normal care, they should hold up fine, but they are not as durable as solid metal earrings.
