Good to Know

• The earrings are made from brass coated with real silver and finished with an antique oxidised look. They are not solid silver.
• Keep away from water, perfume, lotions, excessive sweat and humidity.
• Put your earrings on after applying perfume and other beauty products, and remove them before your skincare or cleansing routine.
• Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store them in their jewellery pouch or box.
