Caviar Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the Caviar Earrings made of?

They are made from a silvertone plated lead-free alloy (brass) base, finished with a genuine rhodium finish. Rhodium is a bright, reflective member of the platinum family, so it gives the surface a white shine while the plating protects the alloy underneath.

What type of earring backing do they use?

The pair uses a fish hook backing, which is a simple wire that hooks through the earlobe. This backing suits the contemporary style of the piece.

How much do they weigh?

The pair weighs 4 oz as listed. That weight reflects the metal used, since the piece is built on a lead-free alloy base with plating rather than a solid precious metal.

How should I care for them?

Because the earrings are plated rather than solid metal, it is best to keep them dry and away from harsh chemicals or perfume. Wiping them gently with a soft cloth after wear helps preserve the rhodium finish over time.

How to Care for Your Caviar Earrings

1. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
2. Store it in a dry pouch or closed box away from moisture and other jewelry.
3. Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and household chemicals, which can wear down the plating.
4. Remove it before swimming, bathing, or exercising to protect the rhodium finish.
5. Keep it away from abrasive surfaces that could scratch the plated surface.
