How to Buy Silver Earrings
I just purchased a brand new set of silver earrings. I believed they looked fatastic at the craftsfair. Let me clarify, they looked good in the package, but because of the way they were packaged, I knew I couldn’t actually try them on to know for certain.
Did you understand that is in reality a state law in many states that makes it against the law to try on earrings? Why? Start looking at people’s ears. Not just your ears or your friend’s ears, but all kinds of people. Do you really want to put a piece of something in your ear that was inside of someone else’s ear? Me neither!
So, instead of suffering from ear rot, etc, we sometimes buy an ugly pair of earrings or even worse, we stay in the same rut and wear the same style for 100 years.
Even holding them up to your ear and looking in the mirror to see how they will look doesn’t give you a real indication of how the earrings will look. Some are so dang heavy they pull your earlobe down too far; sometimes they twist and lay wrong. Then others will as a matter of fact seem off balance and one seems to hang lower than the other one. Makes you feel like a real numbskull!
So…what do we do? You must at least hold them up to you ear in their little package and get an idea if they will look good or not
The silver earrings I bought this past weekend don’t look good on me! I have to admit that the reason I bought them was that the sales person was so anxious. Heck, I just said, I like these and bought them. I know better than that, but I just felt pressured at the time.
These are hoop silver earrings that are about one inch in circumference and have that hammered look. The one inch isn’t too big or too little which I typically like, however, these seem like they are huge telephone poles going into my actual ear hole. Makes my ear look like it is being tortured. It doesn’t hurt at all; and, of course, the post is the same size as normal. They aren’t tapered at the end; they just look weird on me.
Lesson learned, once again! Be sure and at least hold them up in the package to your ear and look at the size, the color and weight and try to give yourself an opportunity to determine whether your new silver earrings will work or not.
