How do I wear these?

[Carrie76]

Excuse my ignorance but I was gifted a lovely pair of earrings that I’ve no idea how to wear! Does the long dangly bit thread the whole way through my ear piercing?

Yep, post the straight bit and chain through your hole in you ear then the hook should sit in you ear , it's just a extra detail so the earrings piece sits at the front ( circle) hook in your ear chain down behind your ear

Watching with interest!

They’re lovely looking earrings - but I’ve had pierced ears for 45 years and have never considered pulling a chain through the piercings. Slightly scared at the thought of it.

It feels 'odd' for a second! A friend make gorgeous jewelry & has made similar styles .

The thought of pulling chain through your piercing has just given my whole body a little yippy quiver..

Don't like it... 🤣

But the earrings are cute.

Those earrings are gorgeous. They will look amazing on.

The pull through does feel a bit funny but it's not painful. If you have two sets of piercings in your lobe (as I do) you can loop the long end through the second hole and let the chain drape IYSWIM.

Nope nope nope

I didn't read that nope.

Fingers in my eyes and lalalalal..

(I'm gonna have to get some and try it, just reading about it makes me jiggly 🤣)

Do these style have a name particularly? I've not seen the like before.

I love the earrings but not sure I can do that!! I wear earring every rarely will they definitely go through the hole?? I’m a bit freaked out by it I have to say

You could take them to a working jeweler who could remove the chain and make the hook tip smooth

It sounds like an infection waiting to happen somehow!
pretty earrings though 😂

Or you could try putting a drop of oil, lip balm, vaseline, lube to help smooth them going through .

They're usually called threader earrings. They don't always have the hook element. Sometimes just the chain.

Thanks. I've been googling.

I'm very tempted. The idea of threading them is weird, but I wanna try it..
Plus, earrings.. I bought some hoops for £10 about 5 years ago and haven't bothered since. Just give em a clean now and then and put them back in..

Update, I got them on. Taking them out was very weird!

You’re very brave!

But they’re so pretty. (Where are they from, do you know?)

They look fabulous 🤩 🤩

They look very nice! I'm reminded of chain earrings I had back in the 90's that were just two little bars (posts) and a chain in between. They weren't as long, but they did look elegant. I don't know whatever happened to them!

They look amazing.

I have 2 lobe, a forward helix and a tragus on one ear .....you don;t want to imagine what I could do with these earrings <mwah ha ha>

Yes , I have a pair of those ( I can wear in my double lobe )
And there were the stud and cuff that you pinched round your outer ear , chain to connect

I love these earrings. Any idea where they are from? My searches have been fruitless.
