What metal are these earrings made from?

They are made from a lead-free alloy (brass) with a goldtone finish plating on the surface. The plating is what gives the piece its warm golden color, while the alloy base provides the shape and structure underneath. Being lead-free means the alloy is formulated without lead, a metal restricted in jewelry by law.

How do these earrings attach to the ear?

The earrings use a lever backing, which is a secure hinged closure that clicks shut once inserted. This type of back is common on hoop earrings because it holds the earring steady through the day. It's a straightforward mechanism to open and close by hand.

How much do these earrings weigh?

The earrings weigh 4 oz as a pair. That weight reflects the alloy base beneath the plating, which gives the piece its shape and structure. The design is large in scale, so the presence is mostly visual rather than physical.

Will the gold color wear off over time?

Since the earrings feature a plated goldtone finish rather than solid gold, the surface layer will wear down gradually with use rather than lasting indefinitely. This is typical of plated jewelry generally, since the color you see and touch is the plating, not the base alloy underneath.

How to Care for Your Large Golden Hoop Earrings

Wipe the piece gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
Store it away from other jewelry to prevent scratching the plated surface.
Avoid contact with water, lotions, and perfumes, which can wear down the plating faster.
Remove it before swimming, bathing, or exercising to protect the goldtone finish.
Keep it in a dry place, since moisture can dull the plated surface over time.
