FAQs
Heaviness affects fit?
Yes. Heavy earrings (stones, large hoops) can stretch lobes over time. Choose medium weight for daily wear. Save heavy designs for special occasions.
Hypoallergenic options?
Surgical stainless steel, titanium, 14k+ gold are typically hypoallergenic. Nickel-free especially important. Sensitive skin: stick with these metals.
