Q: How should I care for horn and lacquer Hermès earrings?

Q: Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
A: The listing notes silver-toned hardware, but it does not specify the exact metal composition of the posts. If you are sensitive to certain metals, we recommend checking for more detailed material information before wearing them for extended periods.
