Questions people ask

Are gothic earrings heavy?

Most of ours are light enough for all-day wear. The listing gives the drop length, and the longest drops are the ones to save for evenings.

Do you sell single earrings?

Earrings are sold in pairs unless the listing says single or mismatched set.

What ear wire do you use?

Most drops hang on French hooks and hoops close with a hinge. Each listing states the closure. If you have sensitive ears, wipe the wires with alcohol before the first wear.
