We create the earring setting & post by wrapping the gemstone in 14k gold filled wire. Working with this type of wire prolongs the earring’s lifetime & makes them suitable for sensitive ears. Every pair of earrings in the 14k Wrap Collection are hypoallergenic & with proper care will not tarnish, turn, or stain your skin.
