Best earring back & findings according to redditors

Just buy a converter set:

I don't know what kind you're looking for, but there are a lot of options such as one, two, and three on Amazon.

If you like the earrings, or if you find any others you like sometime give these a try? A friend of mine uses and loves them.

You can get clear retainers for your ears! See here :)

If the clip-on search fails, you could try converters of some sort!

The best place would be your local piercing/tattoo parlor. They most likely will have them in stock and may be able to help you swap them if your not quite healed yet. They also could possibly order them for you if they didn't have them.

Or you can order through Amazon- Clear Plastic Ear Piercing Retainers - 6 Pairs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092TZ14K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_NsPADbYMQAF6B

A craft store may have them as well as they are sometimes sold as a craft item.

Alternatively, I always toss my stud earring backs and just use the clear backs instead. You can push them down or double them up so they cover the stabby parts.

Have you ever tried plastic post covers? They're like little slips that go over the cheap metal, so that your ears are coming in contact with plastic instead. They make the post a bit thicker, so that can take some getting used to, but that may not be a problem for you.

Not ball backs, but something like this would work

I just got these to convert the earrings I got as gifts for one of my bridesmaids. You might want to check out something like that. They have them for post style earrings and for the fishhook style. They're great because you can make any pair of earrings into clip ons. :)

Get some post convertors these and any studs you think she might like :)

you might try these, converts pierced earrings to clip on http://www.amazon.com/Clip--Earring-Converter-Pair-Turn/dp/B007X5M55I/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1375108018&sr=8-6&keywords=earring+clips

I use some similar to these that I bought at micheals.

Note: these will slice your ears if you use them alone, wear with caution through tunnels!

For smaller ones you need to straighten the hook, don't bend it. Get some backs for French hooks and fasten it. I've doing this since I was at 12g.

Do not have the copper touch your ear directly. That is not ideal.

Attach the resistors an ear wire like these and you will be fine:

These ear wires are titanium.
Even if you do not get these exactly, I recommend using titanium for ear wires because they are hypoallergenic and they do not oxidize.
Search for “Titanium Ear Wire” to find more options and sizes.

Good luck with your jewelry project!

I wish I had 1000 paid vacation days from work. Then I'd never have to work yet always get paid.

I have some earring hooks that I'd love to try making some crafts with. They are on my crafts list.

Thank you for the Contest and congratulations on hitting 1000!

I want it!


Thank you for the contest!

Follow-up for those interested.

I orders two models from Amazon: model 1 and model 2. I finally got a chance to try them on with earrings today. I was quickly obvious that the spring on model 2 was too strong and would hurt my lobe after a while. On the other hand, model 1 was just perfect and I think I could wear it all day long without a problem.

In both cases, they are staying in place no matter what. In the name of science, I even tried jumping and dancing to see if they would come off and they didn't go anywhere. At the same time, they would definitely come off if you pulled on them directly, which gives me some sense of security compared to regular earrings that are really attached to your ear.

Model 2 has just a tiny ring at the bottom through which to thread the hook. Model 1 has some sort of little cone filled with rubber, very similar to the ones that are typically used on the back of the lobe to lock the earring in place. This means you don't even need these stoppers at all and you might even be able to cut some of the hook to a shorter length.

Esthetically, it is fairly clear that the earring sits somewhat lower than intended. This technique probably doesn't work well with all styles. I think it works better with long dangling earrings. Smaller round-shaped ones that normally cover only the lobe would certainly look weird (I haven't tried). There are some other models where the attachment is placed higher up on the converter instead of at the bottom, which might help. A hairstyle that covers the ear entirely could also work.

Additionally, you could convert any post earring to a clip-on with a product like this.

You can also check into Earring Converters; they usually come in a kit of several. This will convert most standard pierced earrings into the clip-on type. http://www.amazon.com/Clip-Earring-Converter-Pair-Turn/dp/B007X5M55I

Hope that helps to expand your options!

Are gift cards allowed? I'd really like a gift card towards this bead reamer if possible. It's highest priority for the jewelry making ideas in my head!

If gift cards are not ok, then I'd really like this set of earring hooks, I know they are technically an add-on item, but they are also available through third party vendors for around the same price.

For you, I think you should add this hair comb I've been drooling ove rit for a while, and I think it's spectacular.

Doodlebug!

If you cant find similar earrings, you can buy the parts from Michael's or Amazon maybe:
Pink faceted beads
Bead caps
Coin pendants
The little pin that goes through the pink beads, and loops around the coin
And just superglue one of these backings to the coin.
Also will need: pliers to bend stuff.

Would those work for you?

I had two extra old nvidia quadro cards from a 6yr old pc at work that I took apart. http://imgur.com/a/AjMo3

I also bought a 100 pack of surgical steel earring hooks from amazon for dirt cheap a while back. Best purchase ever, because anything cool you find that you can drill a hole in can become earrings.

https://www.amazon.com/Chrysmela-Catch-Locking-Earring-Replacement/dp/B00F2T8TAC

These are the best I can find short notice, good chance the set screw ones are in body jewelry/Tattoo supply places

It can take a few weeks to fully heal but there are clear plugs that you can insert into the hole while you are not wearing them. Most have a center hole so you can wear the plugs with the piercing for easy removal until healed

Don't buy this (I would never put something like that in my ears). http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Plastic-Ear-Piercing-Retainers/dp/B0092TZ14K But the concept is good for earrings.

I love RAoA because it's proof that there is good in people, and they are all over the place. it reminds me that kindness to strangers is very valuable to those strangers and to yourself as well.

one of these sets of earrings is gold

Can I Haz Gold?

NTA.

But also, perhaps something like this would be a solution to keeping the earrings?
