Round zirconia magnet earrings 8mm (steel 316L)

The ABC of using magnetic earrings

Magnetic earrings offer an easy and needle-free alternative to earrings. They are simple to use: place one side of the magnet behind the ear and the other in front of the ear, allowing the magnets to grip each other and hold the earring in place by gently squeezing the earlobe. The magnets allow easy attachment and removal of the earring without piercing.

However, there are a few things to consider when using magnetic earrings. It is important to avoid shocks to the ear, such as shaking hands or rubbing clothes, which can cause the earring to come off. In addition, magnetic earrings are not recommended for use as nose jewellery or by children under the age of 3, as the small parts may pose a choking hazard or other risks.

Magnetic earrings are a convenient and safe choice for those who want to try earrings without permanent piercings. However, remember to exercise caution and follow the instructions for use to keep your experience comfortable and safe.

Is surgical steel a good material?

Surgical steel is a popular material for jewellery because it is durable and lasts a lifetime. The steel itself does not wear in use, but the coatings on it, such as gold plating (14K or 18K) or other metallic coatings, can wear over time. The amount of wear and tear is influenced by the way the jewellery is worn and the PH of the wearer's skin, which is individual.

The durability of gold plating and other coatings varies; they generally hold up well to wear, but are not as long-lasting as the surgical steel itself. In particular, copper coatings can wear more quickly than steel coatings. Surgical steel can also be safely used in the shower or sauna, which makes it more comfortable to use. However, to prevent wear and tear and to ensure the longevity of your jewellery, it is important to be aware of your own usage habits and skin characteristics.
