Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the earrings made from?

The earrings are silvertone plated over rhodium plated, with a genuine rhodium finish that gives the surface its bright, white reflective look. Rhodium is a bright, tarnish-resistant member of the platinum family, so the plating protects the metal beneath it while keeping the white shine visible on the surface.

How do the earrings attach to the ear?

The earrings use a hook backing, which is a simple wire that passes through the earlobe. This style is easy to put on and take off and is one of the most common earring closures.

How should I care for the earrings?

Wipe the earrings with a soft cloth now and then to keep the surface clean, and keep them away from chlorine and perfume, which can affect plated metal over time. Store them dry in a closed space when not being worn, and avoid polishing compounds or dips since they can wear down the rhodium plating.

What occasions suit these earrings?

The bright, white shine of the rhodium finish and the twist shape make these earrings suited to everyday wear as well as dressier occasions. The hook backing makes them simple to put on quickly, whatever the setting.
