Anti-tarnish earrings are plated with a protective coating that stops the base metal from oxidising, so the gold or silver finish does not turn dull or black with wear. They last far longer than standard fashion jewellery, especially in humid Indian weather.

No — even the larger danglers are built on lightweight frames so they can be worn through a full day or evening without dragging on the earlobe. Weight is listed on each product page where relevant.

Put them on after perfume and hairspray, not before, and wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Store them in the pouch they arrive in, away from moisture.
