Frequently Asked Questions

A: It is a delicate stone (6.5 on the Mohs scale). We recommend avoiding direct impact and storing it carefully. For moderate daily wear with basic care, it holds up well.

Q: What does hand-set mean?
A: Each stone is placed and secured by hand with traditional tools, not with a press. This allows for greater precision and gentler handling of the stone.

Q: Do they come as a pair?
A: Yes, they are a pair. The 1 g weight is the total of both earrings with posts and closures.
