My Experience Wearing 5new for 7 Days

My Verdict: 4.9/5

Best For: Minimalists, everyday-glam lovers, gift seekers

Price: 42.00

Real Talk

I bought the 5new earrings because I wanted something simple, chic, and not flimsy. They landed on my doorstep quick. First thing I noticed: the weight. They're light. Properly light. Comfortable all day. My ears didn't scream by lunchtime. I reckon they're some of the best handmade bits I've tried lately.

Handmade in Australia — that’s a huge plus. You can feel the care. The join work is tidy. The finish looks like something from a good boutique or salon. Honestly, they compete with store-grade pieces you’d pay triple for. No rough edges. No dodgy bends. Just neat, clean metal that sits nicely against the skin.

Style-wise, they’re minimalist but have personality. I wear them with a tee and jeans. I also wear them on nights out. They add that subtle shine without shouting. Pretty stunning, if I say so myself. For the price, I think you get a heap of value.

FAQ

How long does it last?

With regular wear and basic care, expect months of great shine. Treat them gently and they’ll last years as a go-to pair. If you sleep in them or swim in them constantly, expect the finish to wear sooner.

Is it waterproof?

Not fully. They handle a splash or washing hands fine. But I don’t wear mine in the shower, pool, or during long sweaty sessions. Salt and chlorine speed up wear. I reckon take them off for swims and workouts.
