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.

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?

Will white gold turn yellow?
