Frequently Asked Questions

How do you clean earrings?

Fill a small bowl and fill it with a cleaning solution that contains alcohol and soak the earring for a few seconds before drying. Alternatively, you can use a cotton ball or pad that has an alcohol solution on it and dab the earring. Make sure to get the back of the earring. You can use the same cotton ball to clean the front and back of your ear.

What types of metal is good for sensitive skin?

Platinum, titanium, gold, and surgical steel. If a pair of earrings doesn’t explicitly state the earrings are metal but the packaging lists the product is good for sensitive ears, you are good. If you do find yourself or someone experiencing redness around the ear, remove the earring, and don’t wear them again.
