- Will the gold finish last?
- Flash plating is a thin layer over sterling silver. It holds up with gentle wear but dulls faster with daily perfume, sweat and water, so take them off before showering or swimming.
- Are the diamonds real?
- They are lab grown diamonds, chemically the same as mined ones, at SI clarity and about 0.1 carat total. They are genuine stones, just made in a lab rather than mined.
- How big are the hoops?
- The listed width is 14.3, which is the hoop's diameter in millimeters, so roughly 14mm across. That is a small-to-medium hoop that sits close to the earlobe.
- Can I wear them if I have sensitive ears?
- The core is sterling silver, which most sensitive ears tolerate. The plating and clasp are the parts to watch, so stop wearing them if you notice irritation.
- How should I clean them?
- Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry fully. Skip abrasive polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can strip the plating.
