To use these earrings, simply insert the post through your earlobe and secure the backing. They're great for everyday wear, whether you're going to work or out for a casual meet - up. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the earrings after each use to keep them shiny. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals like perfume, hairspray, or cleaning agents as these can damage the gold plating. If you have sensitive ears, we've designed these earrings to minimize irritation, but if you do experience any discomfort, remember we offer a 100% money - back guarantee. Store them in a jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling with other jewelry.
