To wear these earrings, simply open the hoop and place it through your earlobe. When it comes to maintenance, keep your earrings looking their best by avoiding contact with lotion, perfume, make - up, or any harsh cleaning products. Before activities like showering, swimming, exercising, or washing your hands, make sure to take off your earrings. This will help maintain the beautiful luster of the 24K gold plate and prevent any damage or tarnishing to the earrings.
