What does number 5 mean on gold earrings?
The number 5 on gold earrings typically indicates the karat weight of the gold, specifically that the earrings are made of 5 karat gold, which is 20% pure gold and 80% alloy. However, it’s more common to see karat marks as 10K, 14K, or 18K in jewelry. In some cases, the number may also refer to the size or design code specific to the manufacturer. Always verify with a jeweler for accurate identification.

If you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms, consult a professional.

Depends on the size and shape of the earring. If it were a tiny, tiny stud, I'd probably leave it alone, and it should pass in the stool without an issue.

depends on how big you go. i had mine at a half inch but left them out for awhile and they went back down to 2s, would have kept getting smaller if i would have left them out longer because they get tight if i don't put my earrings in for a few days. if you get big though, it is unlikely they will ever go back to normal on their own.
