Search "silver earrings" online and prices swing from a few hundred rupees at a street stall to well over ₹15,000 at a design-led studio for pieces that can look similar in a thumbnail. A silver earring is simply an earring made from silver metal, but what you're actually paying for varies enormously depending on purity, craftsmanship, and design. At MOHA, every pair is certified 92.5 sterling silver, and pricing follows a logic worth understanding before you compare it against anything cheaper in the silver earrings collection.
Metal weight — heavier pieces use more silver by definition, so a large statement pair costs more than a small stud in the same design language.
Craftsmanship — hand-finished detailing, filigree, or stone-setting takes skilled labour hours that machine-stamped pieces skip entirely.
Design research — motifs pulled from a real archive (a Harappan seal, a Maharashtrian heirloom pattern) carry the cost of the research behind them, not just the metal.
Plating — a gold-plated silver piece costs more than the same design in plain silver, since it's an extra manufacturing step on top of the base metal.
Certification — hallmarking and purity testing add a small, fixed cost per piece, but it's what makes "sterling silver" a verifiable claim rather than a guess.

These bands hold reasonably well across genuine sterling silver sellers, not just MOHA — they reflect metal weight and construction more than any single brand's markup.
If a listing prices a pair well below what its size suggests, the most common explanation is that it isn't solid sterling silver at all a thin plating over base metal costs a fraction of what genuine silver does. This is exactly the kind of thing worth checking before you buy, not after; our guide to what to look for when buying silver earrings online covers the hallmark and purity checks that confirm what you're actually paying for.
Not necessarily. Two pairs can both be genuine 92.5 sterling silver, with the price difference coming entirely from design complexity rather than purity a plain stud and a detailed heritage-motif stud can use nearly the same amount of metal but sit far apart in price because of the handwork involved. The purity should never be in question regardless of price; what changes is the labour and story behind the design.
Often, yes cost-per-wear tends to favour the better-made piece here. A ₹4,500 pair of studs worn several times a week for years costs very little per wear, while a cheaper plated pair that dulls or irritates the ear within months needs replacing regardless of its lower sticker price. Genuine sterling silver is also nickel-free, which matters more the more often a pair touches your skin our guide to wearing silver earrings every day goes into comfort and durability for daily rotation specifically.
For daily wear, the better value is usually in the ₹3,500–₹8,000 studs and threaders range rather than statement pieces our roundup of the best silver earrings for daily wear lists specific styles at that price point.
Not really. A ₹3,500 stud and a ₹15,000 statement pair, if both are genuine 92.5 sterling silver, tarnish and need cleaning in exactly the same way the metal doesn't know what it cost. What does change is how forgiving a design is: intricate detailing on an expensive piece can be slower to clean than a simple stud, simply because there's more surface to reach. Our guide to caring for silver earrings covers the routine that applies regardless of what you paid.
Check that the price roughly matches the style band above for a similar size and design complexity.
Confirm the listing states 92.5 sterling silver and a BIS hallmark, not just "silver."
Ask what the metal weight is, if it isn't listed a fair price should track a sensible weight for the design shown.
Factor in what's included: gift packaging, a return window, and a purity certificate all add real value beyond the metal itself.
MOHA was founded in 2014 by Geetanjali Gondhale, who brought over 10 years of design experience and research into Indian art, history, and jewellery craftsmanship into the brand research that shows up directly in pricing, since every design is built from a real archival or cultural reference rather than a generic template. Every pair is handcrafted by artisans in India from certified 92.5 sterling silver and BIS-hallmarked before it ships, so the price always reflects genuine metal and labour, never a plated shortcut.
MOHA's design work has been featured in Indian jewellery and retail trade press, including Retail Jeweller, Solitaire, and The Times Group. The studio is based in Thane, Maharashtra, serves customers across India and internationally with a community of more than 176,000 followers, and offers free shipping over ₹3,500, cash on delivery above ₹3,500, and simple returns details confirmed on MOHA's About Us page.
Simple sterling silver studs typically start around ₹3,500–₹5,500, threaders and hoops run ₹5,000–₹8,000, and detailed statement pieces can go ₹14,000 and above, depending on design complexity.
Price differences usually come from metal weight, craftsmanship, and whether the piece is solid sterling silver or a thin plating over base metal. Very cheap "silver" earrings are often plated, not solid.
Not necessarily on purity two pieces can both be genuine sterling silver. Price differences often reflect design complexity and craftsmanship rather than a difference in metal quality.
No. Genuine sterling silver tarnishes and needs cleaning the same way regardless of price. More detailed designs can simply take longer to clean because there's more surface area.
Often yes, in terms of cost-per-wear a well-made pair worn for years works out cheaper over time than a low-cost plated pair that needs replacing within months.
