18k Gold Plated Double Pear Drop Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal are the earrings made of?

The earrings are made of brass with an 18K goldtone plating over the base metal. This gives them a warm gold color at a lower cost than solid gold, though the plating will wear gradually with use rather than lasting indefinitely.

What stones are set in the earrings?

The earrings feature pear-cut cubic zirconia stones with a total stone weight of 5.5 ct. Cubic zirconia is a lab-grown stone cut to the same proportions as fine gemstones, so it returns light in a similar way.

How much do the earrings weigh?

The earrings weigh 4 oz. That figure reflects the earrings as listed, with the double pear design contributing to the overall weight.

How should I care for the earrings?

The earrings should be kept dry and wiped gently with a soft cloth, since the goldtone plating sits over brass and can wear with friction or moisture over time. Storing them separately from other jewelry helps prevent scratching the plated surface.

How to Care for Your 18k Gold Plated Double Pear Drop Earrings

1. Wipe the piece gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
2. Store it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching the plated surface.
3. Avoid contact with water, perfume, and lotion, as moisture can wear down the plating over time.
4. Remove the earrings before swimming, bathing, or exercising to protect the goldtone finish.
5. Clean the cubic zirconia stones with a dry, soft cloth rather than abrasive materials.
