18k Gold Plated Bezel Solitaire Drop Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are these earrings made of?

The earrings are made with a goldtone plating over a base metal, giving them a warm gold color. The plating is a thin layer bonded to the surface rather than solid gold, so the finish will wear gradually over time with regular use.

What stone do these earrings have and how is it set?

Each earring features a single 9mm round cubic zirconia held in a bezel setting, where a metal rim wraps around the stone's edge. Cubic zirconia is cut to the same faceting as fine gemstones, so it reflects light in a similar way.

How much do these earrings weigh?

The pair weighs 4 oz as listed. This gives a sense of scale, though the earrings themselves are meant to sit as a visual accent rather than a heavy piece.

How should I care for these earrings?

Because the finish is 18K gold plated, keep the pair away from moisture, lotions, and perfume to help preserve the surface. Storing them separately from other jewelry also helps prevent scratching of the plating and the bezel-set cubic zirconia.

How to Care for Your 18k Gold Plated Bezel Solitaire Drop Earrings

1. Wipe the earrings with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
2. Store the earrings away from other jewelry to prevent the 18K gold plating from scratching.
3. Remove the earrings before applying lotion, perfume, or hairspray to protect the plated surface.
4. Avoid exposing the earrings to water or moisture to help the plating last longer.
5. Clean the cubic zirconia stones gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals.
