Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the earrings made from?

The earrings are made from sterling silver, which is .925 fine. Sterling silver is bright and easily polished, and like all silver it will darken over time when exposed to air, though this is reversible with cleaning.

What stone is set in the earrings?

The earrings are set with genuine Baltic amber. Amber is fossilized tree resin rather than a mineral, which gives it a warm feel and a light weight compared to stones of similar size.

How should the earrings be cleaned and stored?

A soft cloth pass now and then keeps the sterling silver bright, and the earrings should be kept away from chlorine and perfume. Store them dry and closed when not in use to help slow any darkening of the silver over time.

How to Care for Your Baltic Amber Honey Bee Drop Wire Earrings

1. Wipe the earrings with a soft cloth to remove everyday tarnish from the sterling silver.
2. Wash occasionally with warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly.
3. Keep the earrings away from chlorine and perfume to protect the silver and the amber.
4. Store the earrings dry and closed when not in use.
5. Avoid abrasive cleaners like toothpaste, which can scratch the silver and leave it hazy.
