I originally bought these earrings as a gift for my sibling who told me she wanted flaires jewelry for her birthday. After a month I had noticed she was not wearing them anymore, when asked why she stated that she really wanted to love these earrings because they are so cute, but after only a month of wearing she noticed that the post started to change colors and tarnish. The post darkened and was black despite the product descriptions stating that the earrings would not tarnish and long wear is acceptable. Almost all the earrings in the same order started a tarnishing color-changing process. Was saddened because the earrings are truly very cute. Unfortunately, she stopped wearing.
Hi Elizabeth,
As mentioned in our product description and product care instructions, our sterling silver earrings are not water resistant and require regular cleaning to prevent tarnishing. If only the earring post is changing colors, that means that there is a build up of sulfur in the piercing. Which is why a saline cleaning solution is needed to clean out the piercing and regular wiping and cleaning is needed for the earrings. To wipe away the tarnish that is already on the earrings, please use the provided jewelry cloth in your order!
Best,
Dorothy
