Georg Jensen Silver Hoop Earrings

Q: What are these earrings made from?
A: They are crafted in 925 sterling silver by Georg Jensen, a premium silver alloy containing 92.5% pure silver for durability and a bright, cool lustre. Typical Georg Jensen silver pieces carry purity and maker hallmarks confirming material and origin.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears?
A: High‑quality 925 sterling silver is generally well tolerated and is often recommended for sensitive ears. However, sensitivities vary by person and by the small alloy content used to strengthen silver. If you have a known severe metal allergy, consider testing for short periods first or opting for specialist hypoallergenic metals.

Q: How big are these hoops?
A: Based on our measurements, they are approximately 2–2.2 cm across (about 20–22 mm, 0.8–0.87 in). This sits in the small‑to‑medium hoop range—easy for everyday wear while still visible on the ear.

Q: How do they fasten and who are they for?
A: They feature a post back closure designed for pierced ears. They are not clip‑ons or screw‑backs.

Q: Will sterling silver tarnish and how should I care for them?
A: Yes—sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time. Wipe with a soft polishing cloth, store pieces separately in their box or a lined pouch, and avoid contact with perfume, hairspray, lotions, and household chemicals. Do not use silver dip solutions; they can damage the surface and make future tarnish occur faster.

Q: Can I wear them in the shower, pool, or while sleeping?
A: For longevity, remove your earrings before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping. Water, chlorine, salt, and knocks can accelerate wear and dull the finish.

Q: Are these authentic Georg Jensen pieces and what hallmarks should I expect?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated. Many Georg Jensen silver pieces are stamped with the Georg Jensen oval logo along with marks such as 925 S/STERLING and DENMARK; exact stamps can vary by era and design. Feel free to request close‑ups of any hallmarks shown in our photos.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: This pair comes with a Georg Jensen box. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if an item isn’t listed, it is not included.

Q: Are these pre‑owned and what is the condition?
A: Yes, they are pre‑owned and in very good condition with light signs of wear. Please review the photos and Condition notes for full details.
