Lightning strike earrings

12 replies

I have some lightning bolt stud earrings which I like the look of but the pointy corners are really sharp and make my ears bleed!

Can anyone recommend me some less pointy ones?

Can you file the ends with a nail file (or a proper file if you have one)

bend the ends out slightly with pointy pliers? not enough that it’s noticeable. just enough for comfort. hold at the other end not the post in case it comes loose.

Silver Rain Silver have a few different types. I dont find them sharp.

They are too tiny and too hard (stainless steel) to get any purchase on, and also 6 corners ea h!

I might give that a go actually, good idea.

I’ve got these, not studs, but perhaps would work for the lightning vibes without the edges being right on your ears?

Far too blingy for me! But thank you

I just got some as a part of a ‘bundle’ deal. They are lovely. No sharp bits.
