Earrings can be a girl's best friend or biggest fear, especially when it comes to the more delicate ear wire styles that are so popular these days. Oftentimes we hear about women changing these earrings over to a more substantial lever back style or shying away from this style all together. If you love this lighter pearl look, there is no need to be afraid! Especially if you take a few easy steps to ensure that these earrings are secure.


Ear wire earrings are a clear favorite of the women in our office, so we decided to ask the true experts on tips for overcoming your ear wire fears! After we talked to a few of the resident pearl jewelry experts, the thinking was unanimous... Here are two easy tips that ensure these ear wires work for everyone:


Stoppers - This is a sure-fire way to make sure your earring stays secure without losing that delicate feel. While it may seem strange to put a piece of plastic on your jewelry, using a metal alternative will severely detract from the look and feel of your piece. You wouldn't wear a stud earring without an metal ear nut and you do not want to wear ear wire earrings without this simple fastener. Oftentimes people think these stoppers are just there to keep the earrings secure in the box, but they are an essential part of ensuring the security of your earrings. All of our new ear wire designs come with special stoppers that are easy to grab and made especially for ear wire.
You want to be sure to use these with any ear wire earrings you may own.

Squeezing - This is something you only want to do once or twice. The first time you wear your ear wire earrings, it is is advisable to give them a slight squeeze if the wire is not quite hugging the back of the ear. This will add to the security and help the earring stay in place.
You do not want to over do this, you just want to give the wire a gentle squeeze so they conform perfectly to your ear.


The combination of these two tips make that "light earring" look perfect for every woman. If you have any questions on how to make these earrings work be sure to leave them in the comments section below.
