Best ball earrings for women according to redditors

First, I just want to say that was a wild ride, going through years of my Amazon purchases. My best purchase seems silly, but I wear them every single day - stainless steel ball earrings. They're easy to sleep on and don't irritate my ears.

My least favourite was this super-cute pair of heels by Naughty Monkey - they were way too thin for my feet, and the material of the shoe was very uncomfortable on my heel when I put them on, so I never ended up wearing them anywhere. I should have returned them.

I just got these and really love them. They're 14k gold (but hollow), so they don't hurt my ears at all. I never take them out and also sleep on my side. I got them in a larger size (8mm) so they look a little more intentional than regular studs.

There are so many pretty pairs on Amazon, but right now I'm caught between -
Simple - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007P7B8XE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1KXN4JJP1MUBK&coliid=I16JXFVE4UROP6

Or somewhat fancier - https://www.amazon.com/Sterling-Silver-Gemstone-Spheres-Earrings/dp/B00SRJ11PE/ref=sr_1_3888?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1485046250&sr=1-3888&nodeID=7454875011

One of our wedding colors is a bright blue, so I feel like it wouldn't seem too weird if I was wearing blue jewellery. I'm sure I'm just overthinking everything.

I think the best way to think about your theme is, just the things that make us feel pampered, loved, and beautiful. What gifts can you buy that could put self-love back into someone's life? Maybe it's just giving someone a few things to alleviate stress, like some nice bath products or a subtle candle scent. Or maybe you could just look for items that accentuate femininity and grace, like a embroidered handkerchief!

13. The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why? A Roomba. I have pets. I need to vacuum more often. I'm lazy. Also he would be my robot butler friend. I'd name him Alfred or Jeeves or Pennyworth. My cats would be afraid of him. [w]

5. A salamander! My sister and I used to go up into the woods and collect them and put them in little plastic containers and keep them as pets. I will sadly say that we were pretty cruel to the little guys...I cannot forgive myself.
   
   
6. On the camping trip, I would bring along a didgeridoo so that we could make sweet, sweet music in the woods. Pair with a harmonic and maybe some stump drums. Camping trips are always better with music!

  Thanks for hosting! This was a lot of fun! Some of the best memories are made in flip flops.

I've been in a similar predicament; all the diamond earrings on Amazon have such mixed reviews. I've bought pearl earrings from HinsonGayle like these before as a gift and now they are my go-to item for hard to shop for friends. They are very shiny, perfectly smooth, and come in a nice little box. One note: they are kind of large and showy.
