Absolutely! With so many people having sensitive ears, I made it my mission to finding the best quality ear wires that were especially suitable for those with the most sensitive ears. They are made of pure niobium, a rare metal that is often used in implants and surgical equipment. It is considered to be the most hypoallergenic metal, and tends to do even better than sterling silver and surgical steel.

It is not recommended to wear your seed beads earrings in water, especially the fringe earrings. While they are woven with nylon beading thread which makes them very sturdy and resilient, the thread naturally expands and contracts every so slightly when exposed to water and temperature changes. Water may cause the thread to contract thereby shortening the thread and tightening the fringes. Note that relatively high heat can do the same, but can be reversed when brought back to cooler temperatures. To ensure the longevity of your earrings, keep them out of the water.

When you are not wearing your pieces, the best way to store them is either hanging in a safe spot or lying flat- especially for the fringe earrings. The nylon thread has a memory and if stored improperly can leave bends and kinks in the fringes. Should your earring fringes get a little bit kinked, gently roll them between the fingers a bit and proceed to storing them straight- over time they should re-straighten. The beaded chokers are a little less forgiving if bent. While they are made with the most durable and flexible micro wire, severe kinks are often very hard to reverse. Treasure your piece with the highest love and care and they will hold up for years!
