CZ October Birthstone Cluster Stud Earrings Gold

• All of our jewellery is hypoallergenic, lead free and nickel free.
• Please check individual product description for exact materials used for each item.
• GOLD OR SILVER PLATING is approx .05 microns thickness over a quality base metal such as brass. Hypoallergenic, lead free and nickel free.
• GOLD PLATING OVER STERLING SILVER otherwise known as gold vermeil, is a layer of thick, quality gold approx of 2.5 microns thick over sterling silver. A quality finish. Hypoallergenic, lead free and nickel free.
• GOLD FILL is the next best quality after solid gold - it is not a plated finish and therefore will not rub off. Also known as ‘rolled gold’; a layer of solid gold is pressure bonded to a base of sterling silver and/or other quality metals, such as copper, and then rolled together so that the gold is layered throughout, from the outer layer right through to the inner core. Gold fill is indistinguishable from solid gold but costs significantly less because of its base metal inclusion, which makes it stronger and more durable. If properly cared for can last a lifetime. Hypoallergenic, lead free and nickel free.
• 925 STERLING SILVER is a quality silver metal made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper or zinc, which lend just enough toughness to make it strong and durable yet not too difficult to mold into jewellery. Pure silver, like pure gold, is so soft and pliable that must be made into an an alloy in order to be strong and wearable. Hypoallergenic, lead free and nickel free.
• Sterling Silver, Gold Filled, Gold Vermeil pieces are stamped to mark their quality and authenticity.

Please check the individual product description for exact materials used for each item.

Stud earrings come in various sizes. The size given usually refers to the diameter of the gemstone or design that sits at the front of the ear:

• 2mm -- TEENY - Great for a second piercing, for children, teens, & those who want a really teeny tiny discreet stud.
•  3mm -- TINY - Good for main or second piercing for those who want a tiny minimal stud. An affordable size for otherwise expensive precious stones.
  
•  4mm -- SMALL - Most popular size. Great for most people who want a small stud that is easy to wear & noticeable without making a statement.
  
•  5mm -- MEDIUM - Ideal for those who want a more noticeable earring.
  
•  6mm -- LARGE - Relatively large & noticeable for a stud earring, makes more of an impression.

• Post length is approx 1cm.

The post length, which goes through the actual ear piercing, can vary in length and shape depending upon the location the earring is designed for. For example, the average stud earring is designed for a typical lobe piercing location and / or a cartilage piercing (unless otherwise stated). The more atypical piercings, such as conch, traith, tragus or nose will have a different length or shape post.

All of our studs have a straight post fitting suitable for lobe and cartilage piercings, unless otherwise clearly stated in the title & description.

Necklaces and chains come in industry standard lengths. Our handy necklace length guide can assist you in selecting the
right necklace length that will showcase your jewellery, and also accentuate your features.

• 14" | 35cm Necklace - falls at choker length, depending on individual's proportions.
• 16"| 40cm Necklace - falls around the base of the neck near the collarbone. On a petite person it may hang loosely around the neck and fall just below the collarbone. On a plus size person it might sit more like a choker.
• 18" | 45cm Necklace - probably the most popular necklace length. Falls around lower collarbone to mid chest, depending on individual's proportions.
• 20" Necklace - falls around mid to lower chest, depending on individual's proportions.
• 22" | 50cm Necklace - falls around lower chest area to top of the bust, depending on individual's proportions. Often referred to as 'matinee' length.
• 24" | 61cm Necklace - falls around the top to mid bust area, depending on individual's proportions. Often referred to as 'opera' length
• 30" | 76cm Necklace - falls below the bust area, depending on individual's proportions.
• 34" | 86cm Necklace - falls around the belly button area, depending on individual's proportions.

This is an approximate guide - sometimes the best way to determine your ideal bracelet size is to simply measure your current or favourite bracelets and gauge whether you'd like shorter or longer. Bracelet style can make a slight difference to fit, and so bangles or fixed-length bracelets may require a slightly different approach than adjustable chain bracelets or stretch bracelets, for example.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR WRIST:

• Measure your wrist circumference using a flexible tape measure or piece of string.
• Measure at the widest part of your wrist, just above your wrist bone.
• Note the measurement where the tape meets or overlaps - this is your actual wrist size.

HOW TO WORK OUT YOUR IDEAL BRACELET LENGTH:

• For a snug but comfortable fit - add about 1.5 cm (0.5 inches) to your wrist measurement.
• For a looser, more comfortable fit - add about 2.5 cm (1 inch).
• Consider the bracelet style - if you want a very loose fit, add more for a draping effect to dangle down onto hand.

EXAMPLES OF BRACELET SIZES:

• Small/Junior - a wrist measuring 15-16.5 cm will generally require a 16.5-17.5 cm or slightly larger bracelet.
• Standard Female - a wrist measuring 16.5-17.5 cm typically fits a bracelet size of 18-19 cm.
• Standard Male - a wrist measuring 17.5-18.5 cm will generally require a 19-20 cm bracelet.

APPROXIMATE LENGTH CONVERSIONS:

• 1 cm = 0.4 inch
• 1.5 cm = 0.5 inch
• 2.5 cm = 1 inch
• 15 cm = 6 inches
• 16.5 cm = 6.5 inches
• 17.5 cm = 6.9 inches
• 18.5 cm = 7.3 inches
• 19 cm = 7.5 inches
• 20.5 cm = 8 inches
• 21.5 cm = 8.5 inches
• 23 cm - 9 inches

We hope that you will enjoy your jewellery for many years. To help keep your jewellery in good condition, please follow these care tips:

• Your jewellery may have delicate materials which will appreciate your gentle loving care and handling.
• Store your jewellery away from light, heat and damp when not using.
• Avoid contact with water, sweat, perfume, body lotions, hair sprays, make up, oils, chlorine, and other chemicals which may tarnish metal, damage gemstones and weaken components.
• Remove jewellery before you sleep, shower, swim, bathe, exercise.
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth after use and store away from heat, light, water, damp and chemicals. May need cleaning with appropriate cleaner to sanitise (ie ear posts), but please ensure cleaner is safe for gemstones beforehand.
• Ethiopian Opals should be kept away from water and moisture as they can absorb it which may cause a colour change. If opals turn brown and lose their lustre, leave them to dry out naturally.
