Started from a hospital bed

"Women shouldn't have to choose between comfort and style."

Kerry Clayton started Trend Tonic from a hospital bed, fed up of being in pain and living in leggings and t-shirts she was looking for bold earrings she could actually wear. Allergic to everything with fragile skin making earrings that weighed nothing and wouldn't irritate was a priority.

Sound familiar?

You feel not quite put together. But tradition costume jewellery is meh.

The everyday earring problems we design around.

Fed up of wearing leggings and a t-shirt

Comfort is essential but sometimes it just makes you feel flat and a bit meh. Traditional statement jewellery hurts.

Cork weighs next to nothing, our earring's don't hurt
Itchy, red ears after cheap earrings?

Ears often get more sensitive with age, and hidden nickel in high street jewellery is the usual culprit.

Every metal is nickel-free stainless steel.
Jewellery goes green after a few wears?

Traditional costume jewellery can go green and manky after a few wears and is a waste of money. The materials we use won't do this!

Wear them on the school run, the office and every day
Have your lobes stretched over the years?

Years of heavy hoops leave droopy piercings, so you've quietly gone back to boring earrings.

Weightless designs and stud tops to cover the stretch
Piercings closed up, or never had them?

You still get to wear the fun stuff!

Swap to clip-ons, hooks and studs free. Just leave a note.
Worried they'll still hurt?

You've been let down by "comfortable" earrings before.

Our comfort guarantee: we refit or refund.

Questions

Before you order

Will these work for sensitive ears?

Every post is nickel-free stainless steel. If your ears still react, we'll refit your pair with titanium, sterling silver or a metal-free clip-on under our comfort guarantee.

How light is "lightweight"?

Our largest statement pieces weigh less than a standard metal stud, so there's no drag on your lobe, even after a full day.

Can I get clip-ons, hooks or studs?

Yes. Choose hooks, 25mm thin hoops, stud tops, clip-ons, jump rings or mini hoops in silver or gold. Just leave a note at checkout.

What if they don't work for me?

Get in touch and we'll find a fitting that does. If it's still not right, you get a full refund.

Are they sustainable?

Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without cutting them down, and every pair is handmade in the UK. Our cork pieces are plastic-free and vegan-friendly.

Still unsure? Message us and Kerry's team will help.
