Closed Holes - Clip Earrings
Some of the most difficult items to find in this day and age are clip earrings. During this time of many piercing accessories, few people have untouched ears. There is a good reason why I want to find clip earrings. I am one of those few who have closed ears. This may come as a surprise, but some people do not have pierced ears.
The quest for clip earrings has led me in many different directions. I’m not particular and I only require two things out of the jewelry. First of all the clip earrings have to be comfortable. You would be surprised to discover how much a pair of these things can really hurt. Many times I have had to take my clip earrings out because I couldn’t take the discomfort on my earlobes. The pain is usually great when a pair of earrings is too heavy. If the clip does not hold the weight evenly you will know it and within a few hours you will find yourself either in tears or pulling the clip earrings off of your earlobes.
It is important that the jewelry is light and this is ideal for me because I like small jewelry. Here is the next problem. Few clip earrings are small. This is ironic because they need to be light weight in order to be bearable for the wearer. If you can find a small pair of clip earrings, hold on to them. Usually I have pretty good luck getting this hard to find jewelry at the occasional estate sale. These sales can be great resources for anyone who wants to find older merchandise that may be very difficult to locate in regular stores. You can also get your hands on some beautiful clip earrings if you are patient.
I like to visit antique stores as well. Clip earrings can be found at these kinds of stores on occasion, but it is really hit-and-miss. I have had some good luck at times and other times I have come up with nothing. Other great places to look for clip earrings include yard sales, second hand shops and flea markets. You can find a lot of unique styles and some newer versions of the earrings at these kinds of sales. My newest resource is online shopping. The World Wide Web has opened my eyes to a new adventure in finding clip earrings. I have discovered that they are not nearly as elusive as I originally thought.
