  1. Is there flexibility in sapphire earring sizing?

  2. can all metals sapphire earring resized ? Most sapphire earring settings can be resized, but there are a few considerations depending on the metal: • Gold - Earrings set in yellow, white, or rose gold can easily be resized by a jeweler by either adding material or filing down the post and hook closure. • Platinum - As the densest precious metal, platinum requires specialized tools and expertise to resize without damaging the material. Extra time and cost. • Silver - Pure silver is very malleable and simple for jewelers to size up or down as needed. • Titanium, tungsten - Very difficult, if not impossible, to resize these metals without damage due to their hardness. Best avoided for earrings. • Prong set - If sapphires are prong-set, the delicate metalwork makes sizing more intricate and risks stone security. • Glued settings - Stones glued into their earring backing cannot be adjusted without being fully reset. • Screw backs - These posts have screw backs that allow easy self-adjusting at home as needed.

  3. when not to wear sapphire earrings? Here are some situations when it may be better to avoid wearing sapphire earrings: • Swimming or Water Activities - Sapphires can become loose or fall out of settings when immersed in water, especially in the ocean or pools. • Showering - Exposing sapphire earrings to the hot water and steam daily could gradually erode the prongs or settings over time. • Sleeping - Tossing and turning at night risks catching earrings on pillows and bedding, causing loss of stones or damage. • Contact Sports - The impact and physical contact of sports like hockey, boxing, football can cause sapphire earrings to be knocked out. • Children & Babies - Little fingers love grabbing onto shiny objects. Sapphire earrings risk being pulled off or getting into mouths. • Gardening & Manual Labor - Getting soil, debris, and chemicals on sapphires can dull their shine, and crash impacts can dislodge stones. • Hair Styling - Pulling sapphire earrings out repeatedly to style hair introduces wear and tear over time. Heat from blow drying can damage glue.

  4. Can you sleep with blue sapphire earrings? • It's generally not recommended to sleep in sapphire earrings as there is a risk of damage or loss of the stones: • Catching - Sapphire earrings can easily get caught in hair, pillow cases, blankets etc. while sleeping. This can bend or break the posts. • Impact - Tossing and turning through the night increases the chances of accidentally hitting or knocking the earrings which can loosen prong settings. • Loss - It's easier for a loose sapphire to fall out unnoticed during sleep versus when awake. The stone could become lost in bedding. • Perforation - Pressure from sleeping on a post earring, even with relatively light sapphire, can gradually traumatize the piercing over time. • Cleanliness - Body oils, lotions and debris can build up on sapphire while sleeping, requiring more frequent cleanings. • Glue settings - The adhesion can weaken more quickly with exposure to hair products overnight and heat from sleep. • Skin irritation - Prolonged contact with posts and metal backs can provoke irritation for those with sensitivities.

  5. Are sapphire earrings worth the money? Sapphire earrings can be worth the investment for the following reasons: • Durability - Sapphire is extremely hard and durable, ranking 9 on the Mohs scale. Sapphire earrings can withstand daily wear for years. • Timelessness - Sapphire earrings come in classic styles that remain fashionable. The blue tones flatter all skin tones and outfits. • Versatility - Sapphire earrings work for both day and night looks. They easily transition from the office to a night out. • Value retention - Quality sapphire earrings maintain value well and can become treasured heirlooms passed down. • Unique colors - Beside blue, sapphires come in stunning hues like pink, yellow, green and lend uniqueness. • Affordability - Large sapphires costs less per carat than equivalently sized diamonds.
