- Are these earrings good for sensitive ears?
- The post is 316 surgical stainless steel, which is the grade usually recommended for people who react to nickel in cheap fashion jewelry. The decorative front is 304 stainless steel with enamel, so the part touching the piercing is the surgical steel pin.
- How big are they?
- About 6mm wide, 5.5mm long and 2mm thick, with a 0.8mm pin. That is a small stud, close to the size of a standard earring back.
- Will the gold color wear off?
- The base is stainless steel rather than brass, so it resists tarnish well. The gold tone is a surface finish, though, and can dull with perfume, chlorine or abrasive cleaners.
- Can I wear them in the shower or to swim?
- Stainless steel handles brief water contact, but the enamel and gold finish last longer if you take them off before showering, swimming or applying lotion.
- What backs do they use?
- They use standard butterfly (friction) backs on a 0.8mm pin. Check the backs periodically, since thin pins can let them loosen with repeated wear.
