I had infections the first time I tried pierced ears, didn't get up the nerve again til this year when I started making jewelry..so now at the age of 61, I can finally wear earings! One person said she just deals with the infections? Stop! You're sensitive to metals like me. Try only Surgical steel, or Rhodium Plated Earwires. Silver plated and gold plated will break down from your body's chemistry causing infections.<br />Scaredy Cat...it's 4 A.m. and I'm getting up just to try making these awesome ear cuffs you designed!!<br />Coffee anyone?BoHoChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507229962614845643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323232805417552588.post-10545058165911166992014-07-27T07:05:12.683-07:002014-07-27T07:05:12.683-07:00What a fab idea.

Just be a little careful not to pull the gap wide apart to take them off - that could strain the metal if you do it too often. Best to slide them off along the outside of the ear, the way you slide them on. Hope that helps!Michelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14097093248872091000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323232805417552588.post-1887941366576780602014-06-27T03:30:53.995-07:002014-06-27T03:30:53.995-07:00Sorry.. forgot to check the notify me button!

My poor lobes have never been the same since. I haven't been able to wear earrings for almost ten years, now. I can't wear jewelry on my hands because of various conditions ending with "itis," so all I can adorn myself with were earrings and necklaces. When earrings were taken away, I stopped trying so hard. Your post here has changed my life. I can wear earrings again! My daughter does wire jewelry and she's going to be making me jump rings and ear cuffs! Wires come in lots of colors, now, too, so you can make them match! You can wear two cuffs in different colors. I love you! Life changing, that's what this is! ~~ Janice~~Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927921274359506766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323232805417552588.post-91956935005900131712013-06-29T12:28:30.622-07:002013-06-29T12:28:30.622-07:00You are just too clever for words!!You are just too clever for words!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323232805417552588.post-6688022016122894272013-06-07T17:44:25.614-07:002013-06-07T17:44:25.614-07:00Hi Michelle, I had to go anonymous because I don&#...Hi Michelle, I had to go anonymous because I don't know what the other profiles<br />mean.

My ears are "holy" like many of them but I keep tiny loops in that I never swap out and for whatever reason, my original holes hate most metal, even platinum. Go figure. Also, loved seeing your humor and personality!

BTW what made it worse is that a crowd came and stood by while this happened to me. Really, people? I later heard that I should have never gotten them done because I have very sensitive ears and they get infected (although I still wear earrings and just deal with the infections).Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672496187914084677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6323232805417552588.post-62096098898366253682013-03-22T19:27:31.237-07:002013-03-22T19:27:31.237-07:00I really like this idea.
