FAQs
What material are the Inicio Starfish Earrings made of?
The earrings are crafted in polished sterling silver plating, with a 3-micron premium layer for enhanced durability and shine.
Can I wear the shell stud and starfish hoop together?
Yes, they are designed to be mixed, matched, and layered. You can wear them together on one ear, separately on each ear, or choose just one piece for a simpler look.
How do I clean these earrings?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For tougher tarnish, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner for plated jewelry, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Are these earrings suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are lightweight and designed for versatile styling, making them suitable for everyday outfits. However, it's recommended to remove them during strenuous activities or before sleep.
What does '3 micron sterling silver plating' mean?
This refers to a heavy, premium layer of silver applied over the base metal. It provides a brighter finish, greater resistance to tarnish and wear, and significantly longer-lasting quality than standard plating.
What is the closure type for these earrings?
The earrings feature a post and catch fastening system.
What are the dimensions of the earrings?
The width dimensions are 11mm for both the stud and the hoop, and the length dimensions are 11mm for the stud and 10mm for the hoop.
Troubleshooting
Earrings tarnish quickly
Ensure you are following all care instructions, especially avoiding contact with chemicals and moisture. Store them in an airtight container when not in use.
Post or catch is difficult to fasten
Gently align the post with the catch opening. If it feels stiff, try a very light wiggle. Avoid forcing it, which could damage the components.
Skin irritation or allergic reaction
Although made with sterling silver plating, some individuals may have sensitivities. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Ensure the earrings are clean and dry.
Charm hoop does not sit as expected
Huggie hoops are designed to fit snugly. Ensure your earlobe thickness is suitable for this style. The charm should hang naturally from the hoop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These earrings feature a post and catch fastening. Simply insert the post through the ear piercing and secure it with the catch. The shell stud and starfish huggie charm hoop can be worn independently or together on the same ear, or on separate ears for a mismatched look.
Compatibility: These earrings are designed for standard ear piercings. The charm hoop is a huggie style, meaning it fits closely to the earlobe. They are suitable for adult wearers.
Care Instructions: To maintain the luster and longevity of the sterling silver plating:
- Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and cleaning agents, as these can damage the plating.
- Remove Before Activities: Take off the earrings before swimming, exercising, or sleeping.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the earrings with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner specifically designed for plated metals, and rinse thoroughly with clean water before drying completely with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Store the earrings in a cool, dry place, preferably in a soft pouch or a jewelry box with individual compartments to prevent scratching and tarnishing.
