- Are these safe for a child with metal allergies?
- They are made of 14K gold and listed as nickel free, which suits most children with nickel sensitivity. Very reactive skin can still react to other alloy metals in the gold, so watch the earlobes the first few days.
- How big are the earrings?
- Each stud is about 0.16 inches wide and tall, roughly the size of a small bead. That is deliberately small for a child's earlobe, so expect a subtle look rather than a statement piece.
- How do the screw backs work?
- The post is threaded and the back screws on, so it cannot slide off the way a butterfly back can. It takes a few extra turns to put on and remove, which is the trade-off for staying secure.
- Is this a good first pair for newly pierced ears?
- Yes, if the piercer approves the post thickness. The light weight and secure back suit new piercings, but screw backs need cleaning around the threads, so check with the piercer first.
- Can an adult wear them?
- They are sized for kids, so on an adult lobe they read as a tiny second-hole or cartilage stud. Adults wanting a visible birthstone stud should look at larger sizes.
- What comes in the box?
- The pair of earrings with their screw backs. Presentation varies by seller, so check the listing if you need gift packaging.
- Where is the Tiny Blessings 14K Gold Crystal Birthstone Studs Screw Back Earrings - April cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $156.00, as of our latest check.
