I thought these types of forums were developed to share tips and ideas and I was just trying to be helpful. My apologies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-362687 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:56:40 +0000 biscuitsmom 362687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I have found Kohls and JCP to be great places for inexpensive jewelry....SO glad you arent bothered by that problem anymore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-362668 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:35:44 +0000 MsMary 362668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not Mo, but I'd suggest that that paying for advertising would be more appropriate than joining a free forum for the sole purpose of promoting your business.</p> <p>Seems to me you're in violation of item 10 of the Terms of Service: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/backstage/about/terms-of-service/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/backstag.....f-service/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-362645 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:03:03 +0000 ShopMerah 362645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you feel that way, Mo, but I didn't intend to "spam." Do you suggest using a different way to interact with women who would probably like to know where to find earrings that won't bother them? This post seemed to be a good place to interact with women that have similar problems when it comes to sensitive ears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-344734 Thu, 05 May 2011 14:49:42 +0000 Mo 344734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems to be a good example of old posts getting revived by spammers. It looks like 3 out of the 4 last responses are spam - not from active members.<br /> As Queen Mum suggested in our OT thread problem, closing down posts like this would be great to unclutter the front page of posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-344707 Thu, 05 May 2011 14:14:14 +0000 ShopMerah 344707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies - I suffer form sensitive ears too and for a long time nothing worked - "nickel free," Sterling Silver, etc. I finally got so frustrated that I began researching metals and elements and just recently started my own online earring boutique specifically for women with sensitive ears, called Merah. I'd love for you to check it out! <a href="http://www.shopmerah.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopmerah.com</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-309635 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:31:24 +0000 SueBoo 309635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I have the same problem so I completely stopped wearing earrings (even my diamond studs bothered me). But recently I found a brand called Silver Forest at my local Hallmark retailer. They do not irritate my ears at all. I have this pair...</p> <p><a href="http://www.porterhousecrafts.com/product/jewelry/gold_and_silver_paisley_coil_earring-SFV-E-9965.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.porterhousecrafts.c.....E-9965.htm</a></p> <p>...and another simpler gold and silver pair that work well with just about everything I wear, and coordinate with my two-toned watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-4107 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:11:50 +0000 Sarah 4107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tiffany, the neosporin seemd to work better than the nail polish for me. Both worked, but the neosporin was actually soothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-3817 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:05:56 +0000 lilgoldfish 3817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sarah, and everyone for sharing your experiences. I will try the nickel free earrings (I saw a lot of funky earrings at Target and can't wait to get some). If it doesn't work, I'll definitely try the nail polish and Neosporin idea!<br /> Thank you all.<br /> I love this forum.</p> <p>P.S. Sarah, I understanding being a student usually means being busy for most of time. I'm one my self, and I totally understand.</p> <p>-Tiffany </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-2809 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:55:31 +0000 Sarah 2809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I haven't had as much trouble as your sister has. Thanks for the links though. Amazon is great. You can find just about anything there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-2805 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:14:03 +0000 LaurenNK 2805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My younger sister also has a nickel allergy. It is quite severe... even the rivets in a standard pair of jeans will cause a rash within about 10 minutes on her. The nailpolish doesn't hold up well for things like that on the clothing with repeated rubbing etc.</p> <p>She only wears Titanium jewelry now. A lot of the time she has to special order it through a tattoo/piercing shop, but she also does Google searches for online Titanium jewelry retailers with quite a bit of luck. Her boyfriend was even able to find her a pure Titanium promise ring... </p> <p>Some sites I just found:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com</a> (search for "titanium", in left menu select "jewelry" then "earrings")<br /> <a href="http://www.titaniumera.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.titaniumera.com</a> (rings incase anyone wants them)</p> <p>There is hope </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-2787 Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:50:33 +0000 Sarah 2787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a little update on the earrings. Sorry it took me so long, but I finally tried the clear nail polish and it works great. My ears didn’t give me any trouble. The Neosporin also works wonders. Thank you all for the suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-1775 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:17:45 +0000 Sarah 1775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilgoldfish, I'm sorry. I haven't tried the clear nail polish yet. *ducks* I'm not sure why I haven't gotten around to it. I'll blame being a busy student. My sister said she had a roommate with sensitive ears that did it though and it worked for her. I also want to try Julia's suggestion of dipping them in Neosporin. I always take my earrings out at night anyway, since I lost one in bed once and don't want to do that again. Wow, I'm glad to know what I'm allergic to Lizky! I'll have to start looking for some nickel-free jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-1382 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:43:01 +0000 NewMe 1382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same problem. We are allergic to nickel in the cheaper earings/jewelry. Look for "nickle-free" jewelry. I get mine from Target. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-1379 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 14:22:03 +0000 Julia 1379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same problem before. My doctor told me to dip the pin in neosporin before putting it on. It worked for me as long as I take it out every night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-1377 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 06:02:03 +0000 lilgoldfish 1377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, do you mind sharing the result of experiment on the clear nail polish on earrings with cheaper materials?<br /> I have similar problem as you. When I got my ears pierced, they took a whole year to recover, and I could not wear anything other than sterling silver or 14K gold... I never dare to try these cheaper earrings because the experience of infected pierced ears were too vivid.<br /> Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-691 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 04:32:31 +0000 Sarah 691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks I'll have to try the clear nail polish. I'd never heard of that. All but 3 or 4 of my pairs of earrings bother my ears, so it' certainly can't hurt to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-685 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 00:28:39 +0000 AntjeH 685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, try putting clear nail polish on those cheap earrings that you're allergic to (I mean on the part that goes through your ear). I heard that that helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stylish-earrings-for-sensitive-ears#post-585 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 17:38:05 +0000 Sarah 585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am one of those people who have very sensitive skin. When I was a little kid my wrists would break out in a rash from wearing cheep metal bracelets for too long. I don’t seem to have that problem much anymore, but then I don’t wear bracelets much anymore. I do, however, have a problem with cheep earrings. When I wear earrings made of anything other than sterling silver of 14K gold my ears let me know about it. They get red and itchy, sometimes after several hours and sometimes right away, to the point where I have to take out the earrings. Also, when I have worn cheep earrings for a while my ear holes often fill with a nasty black pussy something; I’m not sure what it is, but it’s not fun to clean out. So the point of all of this is that I’m wondering if anyone here knows of a place where I can find fun and stylish earrings in a variety of styles in either 14K gold of sterling silver. I prefer silver, but I’m kind of tired of my gold, silver, and diamond posts. I used to buy earrings at Clair’s and Icing, but most of their fun styles are made of cheep metals. They don’t have much variety in silver or gold, and even their “sensitive solution” earrings bother my ears. Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Sarah </p>
