Product FAQ

How should I care for Opal and gold-plated sterling silver earrings?
Keep them dry and avoid perfume, lotions, chlorine, salt water, swimming, showering, cleaning products, prolonged heat, ultrasonic cleaners, rough impact, and abrasive polishing cloths. Wipe gently after wear and store separately in a soft pouch or lined box.
Origin and Authenticity:

Sizing and Fit Notes:
This listing is for one pair of earrings. The hook fitting allows the earrings to hang comfortably and move gently when worn. Please message before ordering if you would like more detailed photos or want to choose from available pairs.
Care and Maintenance:
Gold-plated jewellery should be worn with care to preserve the finish. Avoid water, perfume, lotions, chlorine, salt water, cleaning products, swimming, showering, and intense physical activity while wearing the piece.
Put jewellery on after perfumes and moisturisers have fully absorbed. Wipe gently after wear with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and residue. Store separately in a pouch, zip bag, or lined jewellery box to help prevent scratching, fading, and premature tarnishing.
Opal is more delicate than many gemstones. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, prolonged heat, heavy impact, and long exposure to water. Do not use abrasive polishing cloths on gold-plated surfaces, as this can wear down the gold layer over time.
