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?

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.

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 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?
