Where to get clip-on earings
Quote:clip-ons hurt so I got my ears done 4 weeks ago when on holidays. I was quite worried about what other people, epecially at work, would say. In the end I thought “stuff it” and just did itI have one ear pierced because as a bloke I like it that way. I don’t really want both done, and since I spend 95% of my time as a bloke (and happily so) that takes priority for me. So I wear clip-ons as Rachel. I might get the other ear done one day, but not at the moment.
In the UK Claire’s Accessories does a good selection; I haven’t found the Aussie equivalent yet. I picked up a nice vintage pair the other day as well; pierced ears are a relatively new phenomenon in terms of frequency, so clip-ons were more common in days gone by.
I have some adapters to use pierced ear-rings as clip-ons, and have used them with mixed success*. Look for finings on e-Bay, or you may be able to pick them up in a jewellery/accessory shop.
*I once wore a pair of pierced ear-rings where I used an adapter on one ear and my piercing on the other. Worked OK, but then they were big Indian syle ear-rings (the style that has a chain in your hair to support the weight) that covered most of the ear-lobe.

Hi Kelly, as mentioned if you can get to spotlight in the craft section for making bead necklaces you will find the clip on attachements and just buy normal earings and convert them to clip ons thats if you dont want to go down the line of piercing.

Thanks June, I’ve ordered a set of 10 clip ons from Bead Shop, very useful site. Also, they have pearl necklaces, which I’ve been after for ages, for only $20 or less !
My wife only wears clip ons herself & has some that need converting. Needless to say, I get to borrow hers all the time !Davinnia

I was at Strathpine Westfields last week. I bought a pair of earrings at Diva (junk jewelery shop), as they also sold clip on adaptors for $3.00. There was a small adjustment needed to attach the clip on section ivolving pliers and snips, but the very nice young lady working there did it all for me no charge.
Only problem is that the clip leaves a very noticable mark on the ear……which doesn’t go away for some time.

Tasha,
I also had the problem with a mark. Had the opportunity a while ago to wear a pair of heavy clip on’s for a whole weekend – but the mark on both ears didn’t go away for well over a month ! I think that part of my ear might be a bit too “padded” for clip on’s – or the clip on clasp is too tight. Oh well………!

here is a good website for clip-on. I really wanted some hoops and this was the only place I could find them. Prices are a bit high though.

I recently searched ebay and ended up buying 3 or 4 pairs of clip ons, plus missed out on others including a collection of around 20 pairs that I pulled out of when they reached $30. I really did not need that many. Perhaps that is a good place to start.
