Sealed for hygiene — cannot be returned once opened
This piece goes through a piercing, so it is sent in a sealed pack with a tamper-evident seal. Once that seal is broken it cannot be returned for hygiene and health reasons. Unopened, it still carries the full 14-day right to cancel. Faults and wrong items are always put right. Read the returns policy.

Nickel and reactions
Nickel-safe — tested to UK REACH limits (BS EN 1811).
Meeting the nickel release limit is not a promise that nobody will react. Some people react to other metals or materials — cobalt, chromium, resins and platings among them. If your ears are sensitive, wear a new piece for a short period first and see how it settles.

In detail
The teardrop is an open wire outline rather than a solid shape, which keeps the weight down for its size. It hangs 30 mm from a 0.9 mm post with a butterfly clutch. At 2.4 g per piece you will feel it, but it is well short of our heaviest pieces.
Looking after it
Do not squeeze the open outline — it will go out of shape and is difficult to true up again.
