Product Insights
Mamari Mani Earrings are 18k gold-plated recycled brass earrings with a hinged post closure for security, made in France with a signature pouch. The gold plating creates a barrier that suits mild metal sensitivities and lasts 6–12 months with daily wear or 18–24 months with occasional wear; proper care—applying perfume, lotion, or hairspray before wearing and avoiding water—extends this. Replating for $30–$80 restores appearance, enabling indefinite use and a repair-over-replace lifecycle that keeps recycled brass out of landfills.

Deep Research
How long the gold plating lasts
- When the brass base eventually shows through, these earrings can be replated by most jewelers for roughly $30–$80 — a fraction of the original $79 CAD price — restoring them to a like-new finish and effectively making the design a long-term keeper.
- Because 18k gold is 75% pure gold — softer than 14k — the plating on these earrings will develop surface micro-scratches marginally sooner than a 14k equivalent, but the payoff is a noticeably warmer, more saturated yellow tone that holds its depth throughout the typical 1–2 year lifespan of plated brass.
- Earrings are the lowest-friction jewelry type because they sit stationary on the ear with almost no contact against skin, clothing, or surfaces; in practice, an 18k gold plated brass earring worn a few times a week will often reach 18–24 months before the plating noticeably thins, roughly double the lifespan of a similarly plated ring worn daily.
- Putting perfume, lotion, or hairspray on before the earrings — and letting them dry for a minute — is the single most effective habit for preserving the 18k plating, because it prevents the chemicals from sitting directly on the gold surface as a concentrated film, a practice that can extend the finish life beyond the 12-month mark for frequently worn pieces.
- Removing earrings before swimming, showering, or working out moves them out of the daily-wear category — where 18k plated brass typically shows visible thinning in 6–12 months — and into an occasional-wear pattern that routinely delivers 18–24 months of bright finish, effectively tripling the useful lifespan.
The case for recycled brass
- The 18-karat gold plating forms a protective barrier that prevents direct skin contact with the brass underneath — a gold layer of at least 0.5 microns stops nickel ion release entirely while intact, making the earrings suitable for wearers with mild metal sensitivities.
- Brass can be recycled endlessly without any loss in structural integrity — metal scrap reprocesses into new products retaining the same density, tensile strength, and scratch resistance as virgin brass, so the earrings are as durable as any non-recycled alternative.
- Using 100% recycled brass keeps scrap metal out of landfills and reduces the need for virgin copper and zinc mining, aligning the earrings with circular-economy principles without compromising the material’s strength or classic substantial feel.
How the price stacks up
- The hinged post closure is a more secure and typically more costly design than basic push-back posts or fishhooks, and its inclusion on the Mani earrings underscores that a portion of the $79 CAD price covers thoughtful hardware rather than material cost alone.
- Made in France, the Mani earrings carry a manufacturing premium that is rare in the under-$100 category; most fashion jewelry in this price band is produced in Asia, so the French origin accounts for a meaningful portion of the $79 CAD price and provides a more transparent supply chain.
- The signature pouch adds gift-ready presentation that is uncommon among sub-$100 earrings and helps justify the $79 CAD price for those purchasing as a present, elevating the unboxing experience beyond the typical plastic bag or generic box.

Q&A
2 answered- What is the total drop length including the hook?
- The total drop length including the hook is 2 cm.
- How does the hinged post closure mechanism work? Is it secure for active use?
- The hinged post closure features a post that rotates on a hinge and clicks into a hook or catch at the back of the earring, ensuring a secure fit. This style is generally secure for daily wear, though for very active use we recommend checking the closure periodically.
