How many pairs of earings do you have at home approximately? What types of earings do you like the most? Me, I am a HUGE fan of earings, when I go shopping, checking out earings must be part of it, I like the types that hanging down and I prefer colorful type. I used to like the silver ones and I bought a bunch of them so I don't buy them anymore. I think I have more than 50 pairs of earings now, have been looking a earings closet because right now Ijsut put them in the box and kinda messy... but I don't know where I could find one. Do you have any ideas?

One of my favorite hobbies was making jewerly. I have tons of hand crafted jewerly. Then i started selling avon. Mainly because i discovered they really have some cool jewerly. I have tons of that too now. I recently started buying the sterling silver that they have instead of the costume jewerly.

hi mermaidivy, I like earings too. But I ind that I don't like to wear earing during bed time. Hence I have to take out the earings whenever I need to sleep. And when times past, I have stop wearing earings as I am lazy to wear it and take it out everyday. Maybe you can find earing closets at some shops that sell accesorries for women.

Yeah, I agree with you , it is really discomfort to wear earings during bedtime. I just lazy to remove the earings everyday as it makes my ears pain. So I have stops wearing earings. But this does not mean that I stop buying earings. I still buy earings if I see something nice.

I've never heard of an earring closet. However when i was little for my birthday a friend of mine gave me an "earring tree" in the shape of a butterfly. It was a pretty butterfly that stood up and had little holes all over that you could put the earrings on and attach the backs. I loved it. I know you can find those at store like Claire's or Ardenne here in Canada.

I don't like either pair of earrings because they just don't appeal to me and don't suit my style. If I had to wear one of those pairs of earrings though, I'd pick the first pair because they aren't as flashy as the second pair.

Yes, but for some reason not hoops. I want to get the top tart of my ear peirced. But I heard it hurts like crap. I don't like lip rings though, it looks stupid (in my opinion)

I really like to wear earrings. It really completes the look. I have a friend who once used a cardboard and punched holes in them and that is where she hangs her earrings. That way she could see each pair she had and the earrings can be taken and put back in the holder without the other earrings bundling up.

I almost always wear earrings. I couldn't even wager a guess as to how many pairs i have though. even though i own many pairs, there are only a few i wear on a regular basis, though when i want to dress up a partiular outfit i will rummage through my earrings and find a special pair. I have four little wodden boxes (appoximate f inches square each) that i use to keep my earrings in. In one box, i keep all the loose studs. Studs i only eaver wear in the cartilage piercing i have in one of my ears, so i am not worried about keeping them in pairs too much, i just rummage around in the box until i find the one in the color i am looking for. In another box i keep all my hoop earrings, hooked together, as many of them are silver hoops in various sizes, and i am afraid of looking foolish by wearing two different sizes of hoops one day! Th e other two boxes are divided into dangly earings and then really funky weird ones that i don't wear often. As for storring your earrings, i find that especially if you wear lots of big hoops or dangly ones this can be difficult. One of th best ways that i have sen, and did for a while, was to get a pretty piece of at least inch wide ribbon and a couple of thumb tacks, hang the ribbon up on the wall near your dressing table or whereever you store you jewelry and dont mind it being on disply, then hang the earrings in pairs on the ribbon, this keeps them from getting tnagled, and puts them on display so you can easily look at and choose the right pair for the day/outfit

I only have about 15 pairs of earrings, but that is only because I have to wear real gold earrings or my ears get oozy & yucky. I have 2 or 3 pairs of gold hoops in different sizes, several studs including a pair of diamonds that my husband bought me, a set of pearls & a pair of hearts in Sapphires, my birthstone. I have 3 piercings in each ear & I always have them all full. If I don't wear earrings, then the holes close up. I don't have any suggetions for storing your earrings. Back in the 80s those things with the holes in them were popular, but it would be a pain to put all of your earrings on there. Maybe a craft box with dividers?

No, I am not a big fan of earrings anymore. I was in my college days and a major part of my pocket money would go towards buying trinkets. I would grab any empty box lying around…ice-cream tubs included and just put them there. After a few months, most would be without a proper pair or maybe broken or discoloured, so I would just discard them and buy some more. My mom used to scream that it was such a waste of money which of course I did not feel then…but now, yes, I do think buying trinkets are a waste of money.

Hi Mermaid. Yes, I love earrings, and have done so since I was a teenager and first allowed to wear them. I have five or six pair of real jewels and gold earrings, and several dozen pair that are "costume jewelry." I enjoy wearing different pairs each day. I have a jewelry box with separate comparments for the expensive ones. For the others, I bought a big plastic box with small separate compartments, which I keep in a dresser drawer. You could search online for a special earring case. Karen

I'm not a fan of earings, but everytime I see pretty goods, like earing, bracelet or necklace, I'll buy it! hahaha^^,, For earings, I only have 7 or 8 pairs. But since I'm still go to school, I often use a simple one, not the long one with many color and various shape.. I like silver earings too and earings with various shape, like hexagonal snow, teardrop, animals, ets. I put them in box too. Hmm, how if you manage it? Put earings for party in one box, daily earings in one box ,etc.. or sort them by its color? So it's not so messy and you don't need to buy many or a big earings closet..

Yes I have quite a number of them already. My favorite pair is the diamond embeded white gold stud my mom gave me, it's actually passed down from my great great grandmother. I rarely get out of the house without earrings, I always feel incomplete without them lol.
