Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the earrings made of?

The earrings are made from a lead-free alloy, specifically brass, finished with a goldtone plating. The plating is what gives the piece its gold color; the base underneath is not solid gold.

What kind of closure do the earrings use?

The earrings use a lever back closure. This is a hinged mechanism that opens and clicks shut, and it is the backing style listed for this piece.

Will the gold color on the earrings last forever?

No. The earrings have a goldtone plating bonded over a lead-free alloy base, and like any plated finish, it can wear gradually with use rather than lasting indefinitely. Careful storage and handling can help the finish stay looking good longer.

How to Care for Your Golden Hoop Earrings

1. Store the piece away from other jewelry to avoid scratching the plated surface.
2. Remove it before showering, swimming, or applying lotions and perfumes.
3. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
4. Avoid rubbing or cleaning it with abrasive materials that could wear down the plating.
5. Keep it in a dry place, since moisture can dull a goldtone finish over time.
