How many pairs of earrings do you own?

[TableNiner]

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

About 30

I have 8 earring that never leave - my Maria Tash obsession is forever itching.

20

dozens and dozens and dozens.

and you can always send your spares my way

I love earring, and I have loads - long/short/silver/ sparkly/ costume etc

no precious ones, no gold!

Too many to count, without setting time aside for the task must be over 100 at least - mostly silver, a couple gold, some costume wood & glass/plastic from the 90s and 00s, rustic dangly ones, loads of 80s hoops, cubic zirconia, some studs from the 80s when I got my my ears pierced that I can’t wear anymore as the posts are too thick - 3 piercings each ear, the holes narrowed to the diameter of the more recently worn post but have never healed over. There was a time when if I forgot to put my earrings in it would ruin the whole day! I once had to go and buy a pair when I realised my ears were unadorned. However, I wouldn’t even bother getting my ears pierced again now.

I haven't worn any since masks came in, in case the mask loops pull off the butterflies & they drop out. And as pp said too much ear furniture. It's yet another reminder how times have changed.

I make a lot of my own so it's going to be a big number but I can't tell you how many exactly - they're in 3 different places and I never count them. I'd say more than 50 but less than 100.

I’ve only just had my ears repierced, after not wearing any earrings for about 15 years.
I felt like a teenager, going to get them done at Claire’s!
So I’ve only got the studs they did them with, and bought a pair of small hoops from Oliver Bonas.
Where does everyone buy their earrings these days?

How much money have you got? Cheaper earrings are everywhere from classic faux pearl studs to big gold hoops and everything in between.

I found my ears don’t like non gold earrings and start itching with silver or surgical steel so I have a really nice collection of antique earrings. They range from pearl and diamond drops to a bit of serious bling. Collected over many years.

For modern jewellery I like the Annoushka drops and hoops. For less money look at Astley Clarke, Monica Vinader and Liberty London always have a good selection. John Lewis for less inspiring everyday earrings.

Always look in sales at jewellers. You never know what you will see with a good reduction.

I only wear studs now.
Does anyone else struggle with masks and drop/hoop earrings?

Probably more than 100. Earrings are my thing.

Where does everyone buy their earrings these days?

Craft stalls, museum/gallery gift shops, holiday places, get given quite a few, jewellery shops - the last ones I got were Whitby jet, because I wanted some black ones. Before that, some silver and garnet ones from a crystal shop in Winchester.

Maybe 40, I do have 8 piercings though.
