Best For: Aussies after fuss-free, classy earrings
Price: 42.00
Real Talk
I bought the 5new earrings because I wanted a simple pair that looks expensive but doesn’t cost a mortgage. I’m picky. I wear earrings a heap. These surprised me.
They’re light. Proper comfy. The finish is clean. Handmade in Australia — huge plus. I actually felt proud wearing them. Not floppy. Not cheap. They sit on your ear like something from a boutique salon, not a corner-store find.
Compare to store/salon quality? I reckon these hang with mid-range salon pieces. The clasp is snug. The shape is flattering. You get that polished look without needing a jewellery appointment every month.
Why I liked them
- Looks way fancier than the price. Stunning for $42.
- Lightweight. I forget I’m wearing them most days.
- Handmade in Australia. Feels local and thoughtful.
- Good clasp. Feels secure during a day out or a quick dance.
- Neutral enough to wear with heaps of outfits.
Cons — I’ll be honest
- They aren’t solid gold. If you want that, pay more.
- Needs careful removal. Don’t yank them in the dark.
- Not fully waterproof. Salt and showers speed wear.
- If you’re rough with jewellery, they’ll show wear after months.
Overall? I reckon these are a win. Great for everyday glam. Great for dates and weekends out. For the price, they feel premium. I’ll wear mine until they tell me not to.
FAQ
How long does it last?
Short answer: it depends on how you treat them. With regular wear and proper care (no showering, avoid perfume, store dry), expect the finish to stay looking smart for months. I wore mine almost every day for 6 weeks and they still looked great. Be realistic — heavy wear and water will speed up tarnish.
Is it waterproof?
No. Not fully. They tolerate a splash. But don’t swim or shower in them. Salt, chlorine, and constant moisture will dull the finish faster. Wipe them gently after exposure to sweat or perfume.
