Questions about this piece

Are these sold as a pair?

Yes. You receive two matching earrings.

Is it solid gold?

Yes. Karat gold options are gold alloy all the way through, not plated or filled.

Will gold tarnish?

Karat gold does not rust, and in normal wear it does not tarnish. Lotion and soap film can dull it; warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft brush bring the shine back.

Will white gold turn yellow?

The rhodium plating on white gold wears slowly with daily use and can reveal a warmer tone underneath. A jeweler can re-plate it quickly, usually every one to three years.

Can I wear them in the shower or pool?

Take them off to swim, bathe, or use a hot tub: chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken karat gold alloys over time. If they get wet, rinse in clean water and pat dry.

How fast will it arrive?

In-stock options typically leave within one to five business days after payment is captured. Insured ground shipping is free; next-day and Saturday upgrades are offered at checkout.

Can I return them?
