Our fashion jewelry is 14K gold or rhodium plated over brass. Protect the plating of your jewelry (and avoid tarnish) by removing it when washing your hands, swimming, exercising, cleaning and before applying any kind of personal body product. Maintain your jewelry’s shine by avoiding contact with agents such as soaps, perfume, lotion, makeup, hair and cleaning products, etc. Always wear your rubber or metal safety backs with your earrings to prevent loss.
