Troubleshooting

Hoop closure feels loose or difficult to fasten.

Gently check the post and catch for any debris or damage. If the catch feels too loose, try *very carefully* applying slight pressure to the opening of the catch with small pliers to tighten it. If it feels too tight, try *very carefully* applying slight outward pressure. If unsure, consult a jeweler.

Hoop appears to be tarnishing or losing its shine.

Ensure the hoops are not being exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. If tarnish persists, try a specialized jewelry cleaning cloth for plated items, used sparingly.

Skin irritation or allergic reaction.

While sterling silver plating is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may have sensitivities to base metals or plating components. Discontinue wear and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the jewelry is kept clean and dry to minimize potential irritants.

Hoop gets bent out of shape.

Handle the hoops with care, especially the post and catch mechanism. If a hoop becomes slightly bent, attempt to gently bend it back into shape using your fingers. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.

Care Instructions: To maintain the luster and quality of your Inicio Molten Large Sleeper Hoops:

  1. Avoid Direct Contact with Chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and cleaning agents, as these can damage the plating.
  2. Remove Before Activities: Take off the earrings before swimming, exercising, or sleeping to prevent damage and prolonged exposure to moisture or friction.
  3. Cleaning: Gently wipe the hoops with a soft, dry cloth (like a microfiber cloth) after each wear to remove oils and surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and immediately dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishing cloths designed for solid silver.
  4. Storage: Store the hoops in a cool, dry place, preferably in a jewelry box or a soft pouch, to prevent scratching and minimize exposure to air, which can contribute to tarnishing over time.
