MercyA Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) DD14 had her ears pierced at a tattoo parlor (great experience, BTW) some months ago and she is ready to start changing her earrings. I'd like to buy her some good quality earrings that won't cause skin reactions or quickly lose their luster. She specifically wants silver hoops and (at some point) small diamond studs, but a variety would also be fun. I really prefer shopping online if possible. Any and all suggestions welcome and appreciated! 🙂 Edited June 5, 2023 by MercyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I have these, and am always getting compliments on them: https://www.amazon.com/Elephant-Sterling-Silver-Whimsical-Earrings/dp/B071VDSKDM/ref=sr_1_52?crid=3PC33W4FXP4K0&keywords=elephant+earrings+dangle&qid=1685991182&sprefix=elephant+earrings%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-52 Sac Silver has quite a few. I have sensitive ears due to a gold allergy, and theirs don't bother me at all (you can always put sterling silver in the search). Dh likes to buy jewelry for me, but about all I can wear now is silver earrings. So I send him links to the ones I like. I have some cute dragonfly and some gecko ones on my wishlist for the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbusf Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I have bought several pairs on Etsy. There are soooo many options. Read the descriptions and the reviews carefully and you should be able to find some she would like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Have you tried the home shopping channel websites, like QVC.com or HSN.com? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 The ones I refer to above are very reasonable in price. But I have not had trouble with them tarnishing or looking "cheap." I am sure they have some loops, etc., too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyforlatin Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Dd as well and it was so much more expensive than going to the mall which apparently is not suggested. I went to the mall in the 80s and my piercings got infected, and then tried it on my own again with same results. So for dd I was thinking after the initial period I would only give her high quality earrings that would not cause infection or tarnish. I’ve been looking at Mejuri. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I love James Avery for higher end earrings. Kohl’s and JCPenney carry some good brands. I also love to buy earrings on Etsy, as you can find some amazing and unique pieces.in fact, I just got two pair in the mail today. I have had my ears double pierced forever, but wanted to add two more to each ear for a long time. I just went to a tattoo/piercing place a few weeks ago. It was such a wonderful experience! I asked several people that had multiple piercings and they all said the same guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 You are all the best! Thank you so much for the suggestions, many of which I never would have thought of. Please keep them coming! DD has a birthday this month! 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmom Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) When dd and I got our ears pierced a few years ago, I ordered “sleeper” earrings off Etsy. That’s what we wore so our holes didn’t close up. Lots of options in sterling silver, etc. They did eventually tarnish but served our purposes well. Costco for real gold. I would say Kohl’s but the earrings I got from there were flimsy. The posts bent. D. Louise in the UK. I got sucked in by their ads on social media, but I have been very, very pleased with the necklaces I bought from them. I haven’t bought their earrings, but I’m sure they would be great. It’s all gold plated—over stainless steel—I think??? So you’d have to double check if stainless is acceptable this early on. I can’t remember. Anyway, it’s so much more reasonable than solid 14k. I’ve had my necklaces for 6 months. I sleep, sweat, swim, and shower in them, and they have held up as advertised.

Froste Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I made several orders on Etsy, stayed satisfied but make sure to read description and reviews attentively before buying. Also consider checking out Mint and Lily. They offer a wide range of stylish and affordable earrings, including studs, hoops, and dangle earrings, in a variety of materials and designs.

MercyA Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Thank you all again! I ordered the Classic Earrings Set from Boma (sterling silver hoops, ball studs, and white topaz studs). I love what I've read about this company and definitely plan to buy more there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 That looks like a great basic set for starting out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
