Diamond dangles for a little everyday sparkle

Questions and answers

Are these real diamonds?

Yes. They are genuine diamonds with a total weight of 0.10 carat. At that size the stones are small accent diamonds, so expect a subtle sparkle rather than a bold flash.

Will the gold wear off?

The gold is a 14k plating over sterling silver, not solid gold. With daily wear, friction and moisture can thin the plating over time. Remove them before showering, swimming or applying lotion to make the finish last longer.

Are they heavy or uncomfortable?

They are small dangle earrings with light diamond weight, so they should feel light on the lobe. The drop does move, which some wearers notice more than a stud.

What metal is underneath the gold?

Sterling silver. That makes them a better base than brass or base metal, and it means people with sensitive ears are less likely to react than to cheap costume jewelry, though plated pieces are not hypoallergenic for everyone.

Can I wear them every day?

Yes, but treat them as delicate. The plating and the dangling setting are the weak points, so store them separately and avoid pulling on the drop when removing them.

Do they come with a backing?

Dangle earrings of this type usually ship with push backs or friction backs to keep them secure. Check the listing for the exact closure before buying if you prefer screw backs or lever backs.
