What makes a pair of earrings become the ones you reach for all the time?

I was looking through my earrings and realised there are always a few pairs that somehow get worn over and over, while others I really like barely leave the jewellery box.

And it isn’t always the prettiest pair that gets worn the most.

For you, what usually makes a pair become your default?

Comfort? Weight? Easy to match with everything? A secure closure? Not getting caught in your hair? Or is it mostly just a design that feels very “you”?

Also curious about the opposite — what makes you stop reaching for a pair even though you still like how they look?

What material works best for your sensitive ears?

Many brands advertise “hypoallergenic” earrings but still use mixed metals, stainless steel, plated metals, or low-quality hooks and backs.

Two huggies, two sizes: the easiest ear stack

A larger pavé huggie on top and a mini one on the lobe is my go-to formula. Simple, sparkly, and works with everything. What's your everyday earring pairing?

Advice wanted :)

Hey, y’all!

I have had my lobes pierced four times. One pair was kicked out of my ears, the next was infected, and the third pair we figured out I had a sensitivity to after it was supposed to have healed- and long story short, I took the new earrings out for a swim and never put them back in. Holes closed over.

This is my fourth rodeo. I told the piercer I was very sensitive to a lot of metals, so she used a hypoallergenic, flat-back post. This was back in January. I was diligent about cleaning them. Come April, I thought I’d remove them for the first time so I could quickly clean them and pop them back in. I got out of the shower, cleaned them, and tried to put them back in to absolutely no avail. Ultimately my partner and I visited a tattoo parlor that night and a piercer there had to put them back in, which re-opened the wound.

Haven’t touched them since, until today. I had to take one of them out for an x-ray. Post came out fairly easy, but the hole is still oozing and bleeding and I cannot see through when I stretch my earlobe. I want to clean the earring before I attempt to put it back in, but I can already see how this is going to go and I am at my wits end about it. I get really bad FOMO when I see all the cute earrings people have, and I have tried four separate times to get it to stick but my ears just refuse to heal. I don’t want to spend money on products that don’t work, and I’m tired of being in pain.

So TLDR, what has actually worked for the people with stubborn ears? How long did your ears actually take to heal? If you stopped wearing them, what made you decide?

Fat earlobes

Where are y'all getting titanium hoops with posts longer than 6mm?? I guess I have big earlobes and when I try to wear cute little hoops they get squished 🥲

Goals met!

16mm, 10mm, & 6mm. Am I done? That’s always the question we face when we reach our goal, isn’t it? 🤪

Shout out to Two Feather Plugs for the Unicorn Poop plugs! The picture does not do them justice. I get more compliments from those than any other standard plugs I wear.

Is This the Perfect Earring Organiser?

16-Pair Velvet Earring Display Case

A practical solution for keeping earrings organized while presenting them beautifully. This velvet display case holds 16 pairs, with soft cushioned slots and a secure clasp closure.

Ideal for jewellery stores, exhibitions, personal collections, or gifting. The compact design also makes it easy to store and transport multiple pairs without them getting mixed up.

Would love to know—would you prefer this kind of organized display case over keeping earrings in separate boxes?

Flatback earrings are not a new invention.

Why do brands act like they have created something new? Flatbacks have existed since the dawn of time- they are studs with Madras screws. They have existed in different metals- gold, silver, etc. Nothing new. Yall didnt create anything. Just rebranding and nothing else.

What irks me, is even Indian jewelry houses nowadays, act like they just invented it, when even their grandparents probably wore South Indian screws.

ceramic earrings

For me ceramic earrings began as an efficient way to cross test materials during the pandemic but blossomed into something much more that I love making, sharing, and wearing in years since. Previous to, there was a decade or so that I didn't wear earrings but once I started making my own that all changed. I love seeing how popular ceramic earrings have become in recent years and how each maker puts their own twist on their designs. Thanks for looking at my interpretation <3 Francesca

PS. If you want to see more earrings/ceramics please feel free to check out my website or ig--both use feramics as the handle/website. I plan to learn to share more on reddit so please keep posted here too : )

PPS. Shout out to badass printmaker MC Carey (AKA Femme Prints) for encouraging folks to share their artworks on platforms other than instagram. This is why you are seeing my work here today <3 If you love relief printmaking then you should absolutely check out MC's work !

Where to get earring like this? Cosplaying him soon!

Hi! I have a helix piercing and wanted to get similar jewelry to the character that I'm cosplaying soon. I've searched for chunky/wide helix hoops/clickers/huggies, and haven't found what I'm looking for. I do want it to be about as wide as 1.2 to 1.7 cm, thought a little wider is fine with me. Second photo is a cuff, so not what I'm looking for, but about the width I'm thinking of.
