😂 it's been a a while since I had new earrings! I was bought some as a gift for Xmas and wondered if I needed to give them a quick clean before wearing them... I don't need to bother then, no?

Always.

I've managed to survive 53 years on this earth without cleaning any earrings. Right enough, I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 16. But that's still.... a lot of years on this earth with not an earring cleaned. I think you'll be ok.

If they are a bit dusty, I might give them a wipe. But otherwise, no, never heard of that.
