I have heard so many good things about "Happy Backs" for supporting heavy earrings or studs.  Amazon is the only place I found them and they are $50 because they are sterling silver.  Not gonna happen!  Does anyone know another seller of these or an equivalent.  I'm looking at a Diamonique pair of studs that I'm afraid will pull my ear lobes south.  You all have been so helpful before,  Thanks so much!!

I've been wondering about those, too.    I was thinking those larger backs might cause irritation (from lack of air)??????    Well, I suppose no worse than a wide ring on your finger..........

How about a product that is called Lobe Magic?  These are sticky flexible patches that you apply behind your ear where the piercing is.  It gives support to heavier earrings and also if you have a piercing that is sretched out.  I have used these in the past.  Amazon sells these for like $7.00 for a pack of about 60.  These might not be what you want exactly but they might help and are a lot cheaper!!!

The Honora earrings with the "happy backs" are less than $30 now.

 

You get BOTH the earring AND the sterling Happy Backs...a good deal, IMO.
