I was 8 years old when I got my ears pierced. I had to wear stud earrings when I was at school. They could be gold or silver and the school that I went to was very strict about this. When I left school I liked to wear hoops and earrings with some kind of dangle. However when my baby son wanted to pull at my hoops I began wearing stud earrings again. I still wear stud earrings today. I like ones that sparkle with a colored stone like blue topaz.
Do you like to wear earrings?
What sort of earrings do you like to wear? Ones for pierced ears or clip ons
Did you have your ears pierced? How old were you?

Sometimes If I'm in the mood of wearing earrings I prefer pearls for pierced ears. I don't know but most of the time I don't feel like wearing any accessory. But pearls are my favorite. I can't remember when I had my ears pierced.

I don't really like wearing jewelry. I wear a small silver hoop at the top of my left ear, but that's it. I'm just not a jewelry kind of girl. Oddly though I ecently won a jewelry making kit and have had a blast with it making jewelry for people in my family. As much as I dislike wearing it I seem to really love making it. LOL

I got my first ear piercing when i was about 6 weeks old. I got my second at 15. Ive sinced put 3 more piercings in the ears, but ive let all but the first two heal closed, mostly because of infections. Though i would like to get my cartalage pierced again. I love having pierced ears. Wearing earrings is fun. I make a bunch of them to match my clothes and then i get to wear them all together. LIke i have this pale blue snowflake sweater, so i made this pair of drop earrings with a crystal snowflake in pale pale blue at the end. They look so pretty together.
Right now i dont wear any kind of drop or dangle earrings because i have a very grabby infant. :)

Your earrings with the crystal snowflake on the end sound lovely. I know what you mean about having an infant that grabs everything in sight. My little one is just six months old and he does this too. I am sorry to hear that you have had some infections and had to let the holes close up. Good luck in the future with your pierced ears.

Hi maximax8. I got my ears pierced when I was a baby but, I couldnt quite remember how old I was. I do like to wear different kinds of earrings like silver earrings that are for pierced ears. I also like wearing dangling earrings.

I've had my ears pierced since I was small as well. I only wear pierced ones, not the clip on's. Small, tiny ones, not the big gaudy looking earrings. I never did like the hoops. It's just part of the wardrobe now and I feel funny when I dont wear them.

I love earrings & always have.
I had my ears first pierced when I was 13 years & I was the first in my class to do so. I had gold plated sleepers, as that was all we were allowed.
A few years later I had a second hole done.
Now,I wear mostly hoop type earrings. They are gold & my husband gave them to me for a Christmas present. I especially love gypsy earrings.
My daughter has her ears pierced too. She has a variety of earrings. Sometimes she makes her own, especially dangly, beaded type earrings.

I don't have any earring, but as a man i love to see earrings in a woman's ear. I don't like it when they get like 8 earrings in the same ear, but 1, 2 or 3 is nice, even very elegant.

My ears are pierced and I do like to wear earings from time to time. I don't wear them as often as I use to though. I got my ears pierced when I was around 8 years of age.

I was over 25; I can wear any Jewelry only for up to 5 hours before I feel like taking it off...
I have at least 20 pairs, but my favorite is with diamonds.
I don't like to wear anything other than one ring given me by my mother...

i was 8 yrs old when i got my ear pierced, and my parents both came with me and my sister to hold my hand because i wanted it done for my birthday but i was also really nervous, i only wear the "sleeper" earrings, i like just plain ones, i rarely change my earrings, i cant wear stud because of my skin get irritate by the back of the ring rubbing and it gets infections etc

I was forced to get my ears pierced at about age 10-11 by my father. The person who did it was an absolute moron and the holes are completely uneven. One side is set far too low and whenever I wear any kind of earring, it hurts really bad. So I pretty much can't wear earring, even if I want to, which is rare anyway.

Hi maximax8 :)
I had my ears pierced when i was 5 years old,i made the big girl and asked for them and said i would not cry,haha.My first earrings were a pair of heart crystal red stone studs that i chose at the salon.I loved them right when i saw them and will never forget them,i lost them over time though i did try to keep them from getting lost.I like pierced ones perferebly silver like little stones,cute flowers like daisies,ball gems and also ones that look like hooks that do not have a back to them,you just slip them in the earring hole in your ear and they stay there with stones also.I really hate christmas earrings that some people wear with socks,santa or snow men on them,hahahaha!

Hi peanutjar. It is lovely that you remember your first earrings. It is sad that you lost them but I have lost some earrings too. I don't like it when a stone set in the earring falls out. I remember a lady I worked with had a different pair of Christmas earrings every single day. Thanks for your wonderful response.
