FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your jewelry safe for sensitive ears?

Yes. All our earrings are crafted from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, which is naturally hypoallergenic and nickel-free. We specialize in "ouch-less" jewelry, making our pieces ideal for children, people with new piercings, or anyone who experiences irritation from standard fashion jewelry.

What does "18K Gold Plated" mean for durability?

Our jewelry features a high-quality 18K gold plating over a stainless steel base. Unlike jewelry with a brass or copper base, our stainless steel core is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. This combination ensures your pieces maintain their golden luster much longer than traditional gold-plated items.

Will your jewelry turn my skin green?

No. Skin discoloration is usually caused by jewelry made of copper or low-quality alloys reacting with moisture. Because we use non-reactive stainless steel, our jewelry will not turn your skin green or cause "tarnish tattoos."

What are the benefits of screw-back earrings?

Our screw-back posts are designed for both security and comfort. They provide a secure fit that prevents earrings from falling out during daily activity or sleep. Additionally, the flat back design eliminates the "poke" often felt from traditional butterfly backs, making them perfect for all-day wear.

How should I care for my Cherry On Top jewelry?

To keep your 18K gold-plated pieces looking their best:

1. Avoid wearing them in heavily chlorinated pools or hot tubs.

2. Apply lotions and perfumes before putting on your jewelry.

3. Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Since our base is stainless steel, the jewelry is highly durable, but avoiding harsh chemicals will preserve the gold finish.
