FAQ

How do I care for aluminium earrings?

To clean, gently wipe with a soft cloth in warm soapy water, then rinse well and pat dry. Avoid using cleaning products or spraying perfume near jewellery.

Are these suitable for sensitive ears?

The earrings themselves are made from aluminium, generally considered hypoallergenic. The posts are made from surgical steel and are also suitable for most sensitive ears.

What is sublimation printing?

Using pressure and heat (350-400 degrees) sublimation printing, also known as dye-diffusion, infuses a design under the surface of the metal. A special sublimation coating is added to the aluminium, which helps ensure the design is long-lasting and patterns do not wear off, softens slightly when heated allowing the dyes to be fused into it. When the layer cools they dyes are locked in.
