Tried on once, never worn. I wipped them down with rubbing alcohol to sanitize. I have sensitive, cry baby ears and can only get away with wearing earrings that weigh virtually nothing. These are unique and beautiful and truly not very heavy, just too heavy for me! The listing I screenshot from the website is for a pair of 18k gold dipped earrings— note that mine are 14k dipped, Sapanyu.com just doesn’t carry the 14k dipped pair anymore! Thanks for looking :)
