5 Things To Avoid When Shopping For Earrings

Watch Out For These Red Flags When Shopping For Earrings To Avoid WastingYour Money

01.

Mystery Metals

If the brand isn't super specific about the materials they use, their pieces likely contain cheap metals like nickel, zinc alloys, or even lead which is what often leads to skin irritation or worse. Look for hypoallergenic, nickel-free materials like 14kt gold fill and sterling silver.

02.

Plated Jewelry (aka Flake City)

Has "gold" in the name, so it sounds good, right? Not right. The thickness of that layer is often so thin (sometimes just brushed on), it is prone to flaking or rubbing off even with light wear. And what's usually underneath? Now we're back to mystery metals. 14kt gold fill on the other hand is heat bonded and is 100x thicker than the gold layer in most gold plated jewelry. Translation: No flake, no discoloration, no trouble.

03.

Discomfort

Look out for uncomfortable clasps, sharp posts, and bulky designs. If your jewelry is comfortable and made well, you can leave it in and live your life. If it isn't, let's be honest, it's gonna be collecting dust.

04.

Doesn't Do Enough

We're all about doing more with less, and it's no different with our jewelry. Like earrings that make one piercing look like two, or combos that level up an ear party. An earring that just looks like an earring? In this economy?? I don't think so.

05.

Can't Live In = Can't Live With

If you can't shower, gym, swim, sleep, and live in them, they don't get a spot on the team. Whether it is because they don't stay in or they flake and discolor, it's not going to work. Check the materials, reviews, and socials to see if they can hang with your lifestyle.

"I was hesitant on buying the twisted earring because most things you buy online are too good to be true. Once I received the earrings I was very impressed. I hate changing out earring so I keep the twisted earrings in 24/7 with no issues! Also, I loved the fact the company is based in a city sooo very close to home!"

I reallllly love these. They’re simple yet beautiful. And I understand they’re hand made. My only complaint is that one is a tiny bit mis shaped. It’s more oval and the other is perfectly round. I don’t want to bend them and try to fix myself but when I look in the mirror I can tell a difference.
