FAQ

What’s the material used for the earrings posts, fish hooks etc?

We use Titanium for most of our earring post and backs. Titanium is a non-alloy metal. It doesn’t contain Nickel and is considered the preferred material for sensitive ears.

Surgical Steel earring posts are used for small studs (not sold online) and will be slowly phased out in the coming months.

Our fish hook and metal ball studs are made of Stainless Steel. It may not be the best metal for sensitive ears as it’s an alloy that contains a small percentage of Nickel.

 

If I have sensitive ears, which is the most suitable metal for me?

Every one is sensitive to different materials. Most common allergy is to Nickel, but I’ve also encountered customers who are allergic to Silver and Gold. It’s hard to know know what you’re allergic to unless you’ve tried before.

My recommendation is to try one with Titanium. All my earrings are sealed with resin so the metal base of the earring posts won’t be touching your skin. You can also swap out the metal backs to the rubber backings provided to reduce the exposure of the metal to your skin.

 

I just received my earrings. Why do they look different from the pictures?

The colour of the picture depends on a variety of factors. Different computers, phones and tablets may display the same colour differently. Sometimes your brightness and contrast settings may affect the colour you view on the website as well.

How should I take care of my earrings?

An alcohol swab will be included in your package for you to sanitize your earrings before your first wear.

Do keep your earrings away from prolonged exposure to heat and sunlight. You can gently wash them with water but do dry them immediately.

Avoid perfume and any other alcohol or acetone-based products as they remove clay.

I would suggest that you store the earrings in a Ziplock bag and/or a container to prevent breakage caused by any accidents.

We are not responsible for any damage caused by wear and tear or any mishandling. But we are willing to assist fixing the earrings at a small cost. Any product that needs to be sent back to us will need to be sent via registered post or Smartpac.
