Frequently Asked Questions

What are your posts, hooks, and backs made of? 
The hooks and posts are made from PVC and the backs are made from Thermoplastic Elastomer.
Is plastic porous and does it harbor bacteria?

The plastic we use, specifically PVC is non-porous and complies with stringent safety and health regulations. While being non-porous does not mean bacteria can't develop, it is less likely compared to porous surfaces.

Can Charlies Choice be worn for new piercings?

We recommend not switching the jewelry your ears were pierced with before they are fully healed. 

Do your dangles come with backs?

Our dangles do not come with backs.  Our plastic hooks have a curvature that allows them to stay in well on their own.  This is also for your safety so that if the earrings get caught or pulled on, the earring should fall out safely rather then rip your ear.

Why are their two backs on your studs?

For your convenience, we include 2 pairs of backs on all our stud posts.  It is not necessary to wear both backs at the same time, but you may choose to for your own comfort.  (also.... back up pair in case you lose some)
