My Experience Wearing Antique Enamel Glazed Ring Earrings for 7 Days

I bought the Antique Enamel Glazed Ring Earrings last month. I’m Sarah. I run the Shopqaq blog from Melbourne. I wear a lot of earrings. These grabbed me straight away.

They look like tiny art pieces. Proper antique vibes. The enamel is glossy and rich. The ring shape is simple but interesting. They’re light. Comfy all day. I reckon they’re stunning with a messy bun or a linen shirt.

Huge plus: Handmade in Australia. That matters. You can feel the care. The finish is nicer than most mass-made stuff you’d find at the mall. They have more character than the typical chain-store pair. Salon/store quality? I’d say these sit in the boutique-salon zone. Cleaner finish than cheap fast fashion. Not as clinical as high-end designer—but honestly, I prefer this handcrafted feel.

Quick personal nitpick: one earring had a tiny, charming asymmetry. Some might call it a flaw. I call it personality.

Why I loved them

• Handmade in Australia. Local craft. Big tick from me.
• Lightweight. I forgot I had them on during a shoot.
• Enamel colour stays vivid. Zero dulling after a week of wear.
• Pairs well with both dressy and casual. A real chameleon.

Realistic stuff you should know

• Pro: Holds shine for weeks with basic care.
• Pro: Comfortable. I wore them for a 10-hour day and they didn’t irritate.
• Con: Needs careful removal. Enamel can chip if knocked hard.
• Con: Not ideal for workouts or beach days. Keep them dry-ish.
• Con: Handmade pieces can have tiny inconsistencies. That’s part of the charm, but not for perfectionists.

If you want a statement that’s low fuss, these are a solid call. If you’re rough with jewellery, maybe save them for days you’re being gentler. I’ve had a heap of compliments. People keep asking where I got them. I tell them straight away.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With normal wear and basic care I reckon the enamel and plating will look great for months. Treat them like delicate jewellery and they’ll last way longer. Expect surface wear over years if worn daily without care.

Is it waterproof?
Not fully. They handle light splashes fine. But I don’t wear mine in the shower, pool, or ocean. Salt and heavy moisture can dull the finish and speed up wear on metal parts.
