- Are these safe for a baby's first earrings?
- Yes. They are 14K gold, nickel free and use screw backs, which are the usual choice for babies because they resist pulling. An adult should still tighten the backs regularly.
- How do screw-back earrings work?
- The back is threaded and screws onto the post instead of pushing on. That makes them harder for a child to pull off, but slower for an adult to put on and remove.
- Will the gold irritate sensitive ears?
- The earrings are 14K yellow gold and nickel free, so they are a reasonable pick for kids who react to costume jewelry. Every child is different; watch the ears during the first days of wear.
- What size are the studs?
- The balls are 4mm across, a small, subtle size aimed at babies and young children. Some parents find them too small for older kids who want a more visible earring.
- Can kids wear them in the bath or pool?
- Solid 14K gold handles water better than plated jewelry, and screw backs stay put. Rinse and dry them after swimming or heavy soap use to keep them looking bright.
- What comes in the box?
- You get one pair of 14K gold screw-back studs. Check that both backs are threaded on snugly before the first wearing.
