Jewelry - Earrings

You know some women wear multiple rings, bracelets, and earrings. Now days it is not uncommon to see 4 or 5 ear piercing. I just can’t imagine and more then the hole I got now. Of course, I was 12 when I begged my mom to allow me to get my ears pierced. I don’t think my dad was too excited about it and definitely not my older sister, only because she had to wait until she was 16…cost for being the oldest and me being the baby! I remember the day so well. I was so excited. My mom took me to the mall as soon as I got home. Back then there wasn’t as many places to choose from so I got my ears pierced in a store called Spenser’s (I think now they still have it but it was a lot different back in the 70’s) The girl who did my ears used a marker to put a dot on both ears and made sure it looked right. Now the big choice of either gold studs or silver studs….that was it…I went with the silver! Whoever said it doesn’t hurt was wrong but I made it through. Weeks to come I heard I told you so from both my parents as my ears got infected and healed and infected and healed until I got used to having metal in my ears. It wasn’t like I had a lot of earrings to wear either. I kept my studs in for a long time. I really don’t remember buying the second pair or any pairs after that…but I know which earrings I’ve gotten for birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas. Wearing earrings now is an option not a must. It’s that little bit of yes I think I will take the time to pick out a pair of earrings that goes with what I’m wearing. Maybe that’s the little girl coming out in this age but it’s the little things that make me smile!
