Frequently Asked Questions

I have allergies to earrings but I still want to wear them; what can I do?
Clip-on earrings are a choice if your lobe holes get irritated when wearing pierced earrings. It is also possible that you do not have an allergy to earrings, but to materials used to make the earrings, such as plastic or nickel. It is best to consult a doctor for possible treatment to such an allergy. The answer to this problem is usually as simple as applying a solution to stop the allergies from breaking out.

How will I know what the best style of earrings is for me?
To determine the style that works best for you, the one thing you can do is try out different styles in front of a mirror to see what works well with your face shape and hairstyle. As an example, studs do not look that well with full, round faces because the studs will go unnoticed. For this reason, it is advisable for you to take full advantage of mirrors found in accessory shops. Of course, you must also remember that there are different styles for different occasions. Simple stud earrings look best for business lunches while the dangly ones will work well for a night out.

Why is there more fuss over men wearing earrings?
Apparently, earrings are traditionally women's ornaments. After all, it was the women who were usually adorned back in the old days, not men. Men wearing earrings give off an air of a rebellion to the norm and even an air of cross-dressing, thus upsetting the more conservative chapters of the society. Fortunately, people are becoming more open-minded about this fashion preference. Even though the ‘bad boy' aura still persists to hang over earring-wearing men, they are fast becoming of the accepted norm.
