Questions about this piece

Are these sold as a pair?

Check the "Sold as" line for the option you pick: Pair (two earrings) or Single earring. Single-earring options ship one earring.

Are the diamonds natural or lab-grown?

This style is offered with both. The stone type is shown on each option, and the receipt states it.

What does CTW mean?

CTW is total carat weight: the combined weight of every diamond in the piece, across both earrings for a pair. One carat is 0.2 grams.

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?

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.

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 and salt water speed tarnish on sterling silver, chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken karat gold alloys over time, and soap and lotion film dulls diamonds. 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?

Are they a good gift?

The Round 4-Prong Lightweight Stud Earrings make an easy gift. Every order ships insured, and because pierced earrings are final sale, confirm the metal and back type first.
