- Are these safe for a baby's first earrings?
- The screw backs are the reason many parents choose them: they thread on and stay put better than friction backs. Still, a baby should not wear them unsupervised, and check the backs are snug.
- Is the gold solid or plated?
- It is solid 14K gold, not gold plated, and the earrings are listed as nickel free. That makes them a reasonable choice for ears that react to costume jewelry.
- Is the birthstone a real gemstone?
- No. The stone is a Swarovski crystal in the August color, not a natural gemstone. Expect sparkle and color rather than gem value.
- How big are they?
- They are about 0.16 inches tall, so they sit close to the earlobe and read as a small dot. Shoppers wanting a visible stud should look at larger styles.
- Can adults wear them too?
- Yes, but they are sized and styled for children. Adults with thicker earlobes may find the posts short and the look very subtle.
- Do they come in other birth months?
- The line covers the calendar with a crystal color for each month. This listing is the August version, so other months are sold as separate items.
- Where is the Tiny Blessings 14K Gold Crystal Birthstone Stud Screw Back Earrings - August cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $156.00, as of our latest check.
