Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Simply open the clasp and insert the earring post through your pierced earlobe. Secure the clasp until you hear a click or feel it firmly closed. Ensure your earlobes are clean before wearing.
Compatibility
- Ear Type: Designed for individuals with pierced ears.
- Style Compatibility: The white, rhodium-plated finish makes these earrings highly compatible with other silver-toned, white gold, or platinum jewelry. They can also provide a contrasting element when paired with warmer tones.
- Other Variants: Note that this design is also available in Gold and Rose gold-tone plated finishes, offering compatibility with different personal styles and existing jewelry collections.
Care
To ensure the longevity and sparkle of your Sommerset Hoop Earrings:
- Avoid Contact: Keep jewelry away from water, lotions, perfumes, hairspray, and harsh chemicals. These substances can dull the rhodium plating and damage the crystals.
- Clean Gently:
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., a microfiber cloth) to gently wipe the earrings after each wear to remove oils and dirt.
- For a deeper clean, very lightly dampen the cloth with plain water and gently wipe. *Do not submerge the earrings in water.*
- Pat dry thoroughly with another dry, soft cloth.
- Proper Storage: Store your earrings in their original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratching and exposure to air, which can contribute to tarnishing (though rhodium is highly resistant). Store them separately from other jewelry to avoid tangles and damage.
- Handling: Handle the earrings by their metal parts as much as possible, avoiding direct contact with the crystals to prevent smudging and oil transfer.
