Earring care + Materials

At Style by Carise, every design is intentionally crafted with high-quality metals that are safe, durable, and perfect for sensitive ears. I only source premium materials that will last and stay beautiful.

Premium Metals I Use

PVD Gold Plated over 316L Stainless Steel

This is the gold standard in my shop. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a luxury plating process used in high-end jewelry and watchmaking.

Why it’s better than traditional gold plating:

  • Tarnish-resistant
  • Sweat-proof and water-resistant
  • Ultra durable and long lasting
  • Safe for sensitive ears

You get the look and quality of luxury without the hassle of fading or peeling.

Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel (316L)

Used in medical and piercing applications, this is one of the safest metals for daily wear.

Benefits:

  • Hypoallergenic
  • Won’t rust or corrode
  • Perfect for sensitive skin

Titanium (Available by Request)

One of the most hypoallergenic metals on earth and ideal for those with severe sensitivities.

Benefits:

  • Nickel-free
  • Ultra lightweight
  • Safe for long-term wear

925 Sterling Silver (Available by Request)

A timeless classic for customers who prefer a silver finish.

Benefits:

  • Safe for sensitive skin
  • Real, solid silver—not plated
  • Can be polished back to a bright shine

✨ Why These Materials Are Hypoallergenic

My metals are intentionally chosen to be:

  • Nickel-free or extremely low-nickel
  • Safe for sensitive ears
  • Designed for comfort and daily wear

I never use inexpensive alloys or metals that cause irritation.

✨ Tested by Someone Who Actually Has Sensitive Ears

I have sensitive skin myself, which means I don’t just source premium materials—I test them thoroughly.

With years of experience and plenty of trial-and-error, I’ve refined my materials through research, supplier testing, and personal wear. I even wear new designs for long periods (and yes, I’ve slept in the earrings!) before they ever become available in the shop.

If it isn’t comfortable for me, it doesn’t make it to you.

✨ Care Instructions

To keep your jewelry looking beautiful:

✔ Keep Dry When Possible

Remove before extended swimming or showering.

✔ Avoid Chemicals

Apply perfume, hairspray, and lotions before putting on your earrings.

✔ Store with Care

Keep in a pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratches.

✔ Clean as Needed

Use a soft cloth to remove oils and keep your earrings shining.

Handmade + High Quality

Every piece is crafted with care, intention, and craftsmanship—from the materials I source to the finish on your final design. These aren’t fast-fashion accessories. They’re made to last, look beautiful, and stay comfortable. Everything here is made by one person....me! So yes, there may be tiny imperfections here and there. I make mistakes, but I learn and I'm always improving. I’m human, y’all! But I truly love what I do, and I try to give y'all my best work.🤎
