Questions about this piece

Are these sold as a pair?

Yes. You receive two matching earrings.

Is sterling silver real silver?

Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with a small amount of other metal for strength.

Will sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, slowly, with air and skin contact. Store it in a closed pouch and polish it with a silver cloth. Rhodium-plated silver resists tarnish until the plating wears.

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, chlorine and salt water speed tarnish on sterling silver, 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.
