I’m looking to streamline my collection, if you have pierced ears would be interested to know how many you own!

Probably about 15. Two nice pairs and lots of plain silver studs from Accessorize plus some dressier ones. I wear silver studs all the time though and rarely deviate.

ExConstance · 13/01/2021 10:27

25? They get lost a lot, so I keep buying new ones.

EBearhug · 13/01/2021 10:34

Probably 40-50.

Tehmina23 · 13/01/2021 12:04

Omg. Probably 100+

1frenchfoodie · 13/01/2021 13:20

15 or so pairs of small glass studs that are my everyday go-to with a further 20-30 more dangly pairs that I wear from time to time.

Shewhoisnotseen · 13/01/2021 13:31

I usually only have three or four pairs at a time. I own lots of single earrings, for some reason I'm always losing them.

tofuschnitzel · 13/01/2021 13:33

I haven't counted them, but I'd estimate that I have at least 30-40 studs and another 30-40 dangly earrings. I usually get a few pairs for my birthday each year, and then if I see a nice pair I will treat myself. I only buy sterling silver earrings so they tend to last for years and years.

notacooldad · 13/01/2021 13:37

Loads and loads but the sad thing is I hardly wear them.
Dh used to buy me a pair of unusual silver ones from a certain jewellery shop when he went into town but it closed down several years ago.
My cousin makes amazing jewellery and sends me some over from her home in America.

sheslittlebutfierce · 13/01/2021 13:50

probably 50+
A handful of silver/gold
lots of costume
and a handful of novelty

all bases covered.
However I think costume jewellery has become quite expensive otherwise i would still be buying lots more!

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/01/2021 13:53

40-50. They’re one of very few vices I have.

MagicMatilda · 13/01/2021 13:53

About 5ish

quarentini · 13/01/2021 14:21

I have five really expensive pairs that I'm to scared to wear, incase I loose them 😀

And 30 cheap pairs in all different styles,that I wear and loose regularly 😀

EBearhug · 13/01/2021 17:30

Probably 40-50.
^^

Or 122, as it turns out... plus a few singles.

LegendDairy · 13/01/2021 17:38
  1. and they're all silver hoops of various size.
Bettina500 · 13/01/2021 17:42

Probably about 15-20 pairs, mostly simple silver studs which I wear every day. I don't wear dangly ones apart from a pair of huggy hoops I bought a few weeks ago.

10kstepsaroundthegardenthen · 13/01/2021 17:46
  1. Never had a piercing.

Thinking about getting a cluster now though

LaPampa · 13/01/2021 18:37

A few. Probably less than 10.

RoseMartha · 13/01/2021 18:50

About two. I do have abt 10 odd ones where I have lost one abd kept the other and never worn again.

GretaSheen · 13/01/2021 19:02

My ears are pieced 8 times and I don't own any earrings. Should get some really.

BasiliskStare · 13/01/2021 19:05

2 pairs and only one piercing per ear - Well you did ask Grin

Darklane · 13/01/2021 19:05

A lot.Blush

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 13/01/2021 19:07
  1. All costume ones.

1 are dangly and for nights out, the other 2 are small (one silver pair, ones black) for daytime if I ever feel the need.

Roselilly36 · 13/01/2021 19:10

Quite a few, but I only ever wear my diamond solitaire studs.

Time40 · 13/01/2021 19:20

Are those of us with a huge collection of clip-on earrings not useful in this survey, then? Grin
