No. It is 18kt gold plated over a sterling silver base, so the gold layer is a finish, not solid gold throughout.

Will the gold color wear off?

Plated gold eventually wears with friction and chemicals. Keep them away from perfume, lotion and hairspray, and store them dry to slow it down.

Are they heavy enough to stretch my piercings?

They are light drop earrings, so most wearers will not notice pull. Very thin or sensitive lobes may still prefer studs for daily wear.

Yes, but the plating lasts longer with occasional wear. Reserve them for events and store them in a dry pouch between uses.

Ross-Simons sells them individually, so gift packaging depends on the seller. Check the listing details if you need a box.
