Care Guide
Cleaning:
- Clean the peridot semi-precious stone beads with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt or oils. Avoid soaking the earrings or using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stones.
- Gently wipe the rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver hooks with a soft jewelry cloth to maintain their shine and prevent tarnishing.
Storage:
- Store the earrings in a soft pouch or individual jewelry box to prevent scratches on the stones or hooks. Keep them away from other jewelry to avoid tangling or damage.
- Avoid storing in humid areas to maintain the integrity of the rhodium plating.
Moisture & Chemicals:
- Remove before swimming, bathing, or using personal care products like perfumes, hairspray, or lotions, as these can dull the stones and damage the rhodium plating.
- Avoid exposure to household cleaning chemicals, which may tarnish or corrode the silver hooks.
Handling:
- Handle the earrings by the hooks rather than pulling on the stones to avoid stress on the components.
- Be cautious when wearing or removing the earrings to prevent accidental drops or impacts that could chip the stones or damage the hooks.
Repairs (if necessary):
- If the hooks become loose or damaged, or if the stones are compromised, consult a professional jeweler for repairs. Do not attempt repairs at home to ensure the longevity of the earrings.
Size Guide
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
