Care Instructions

To maintain the brilliant sparkle of your multi-gemstone gold earrings:

1. Wipe Gently: After wearing, gently wipe the gold surfaces and gemstone facets with a dry, ultra-soft microfiber cloth to clear away dust, natural oils, and fingerprints.

2. Avoid Immersion: Do not submerge these filigree earrings in water or harsh liquid jewelry cleaners, as moisture can get trapped behind the open wirework lattice.

3. Apply Cosmetics First: Always apply hairsprays, perfumes, and makeup before putting on your earrings to shield the gemstones from chemical residue.

4. Separate Storage: Store flat in a dry, velvet-lined box separate from other hard jewelry pieces to prevent scratches on the high-purity 22K gold.
