Questions about this piece

Are these sold as a pair?

Yes. You receive two matching earrings.

Is the gold color permanent?

Plated, vermeil, and gold-filled finishes are layers over another metal. Gold-filled layers are thick and last for years; plating is thinner and wears gradually with friction, lotion, and chlorine.

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: water, soap, and chlorine wear plating faster and 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?

Pierced earrings are final sale for hygiene reasons, so they cannot be returned for a change of mind. A verified manufacturing defect is still covered by the one-year limited warranty.

Are they a good gift?
