Earrings Size Guide - AM Gemstone
Understanding Earring Lengths
Our handcrafted earrings are designed to complement your unique style, ranging from delicate everyday studs to elegant statement drops. Each piece is carefully crafted with natural gemstones and premium materials.
Length Measurement: Earring length is measured from the top of the ear wire (where it connects to your ear) to the bottom of the design, including all gemstones and decorative elements.

Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty of your handcrafted earrings:
- Avoid contact with water, perfumes, hairspray, and chemicals
- Put on earrings after applying makeup and hair products
- Store in a dry place, preferably in the eco-friendly packaging provided
- For pearl earrings: wipe gently with a soft cloth after each wear
- Clean metal parts with a soft, dry jewelry cloth when needed
- Keep pairs together to prevent losing one earring
💎 Pro Tip: If you're between lengths, consider your daily routine. If you frequently wear your hair down, shorter earrings (3.5-6 cm) are more practical. For special occasions or when wearing hair up, embrace longer drops (6.5-8.3 cm) for maximum impact!
Sensitive Ears?
All our earrings are crafted with hypoallergenic materials, but here are additional tips for sensitive ears:
- Choose Rhodium or Gold-Plated: Both are hypoallergenic and nickel-free
- Clean Regularly: Buildup can cause irritation even with hypoallergenic metals
- Take Breaks: Remove earrings before sleeping to give ears a rest
- Rotate Pairs: Don't wear the same pair every day
- Check Backs: Ensure earring backs are also hypoallergenic material
