Both Clay and Beaded earrings are extremely lightweight, even at larger sizes.
Stud Earrings: Studs are surgical grade stainless steel and hypoallergenic. Studs are baked directly into the clay using a special clay bonder. This is NOT glue.
Hook Earrings: Hooks are gold- or silver-plated stainless steel unless otherwise noted with a higher quality metal.
Any other metal used (connectors, jump rings etc.) are also gold or silver plated. These do not touch skin.
