Do you enjoy jewellery and body modification?

Have a bunch of hanging style earrings you love but can’t actually wear because they’re way too small a gauge to fit through the big stupid holes in your lobes?

Bitch, do I have answers for you!

Get yourself some pliers and earrings of choice.

Use the pliers to gently remove the earring portion from the charm.

Slip the charm onto a captive-bead style ring (or seamless segment ring if that’s how you roll, don’t let ass-hats like me dictate your life for you).

Then thread the ring through a tunnel! Personal preference will dictate if you put the ball to the front or back (or use a different style of ring altogether).

Many different charms can be threaded on and off the rings, so now there is much more variety to adorn your ears with!

_{Except stud style jewellery. You’re on your own there. My ears are way too huge and weird and were never able to comfortably wear studs so I never owned many- and of those I did have, actively appreciated the aesthetics of even fewer.}

Pr0 tip:

As well as ring style (bead, segment, etc.) you may also like to play around with rings of differing gauge and diameter to see what works best for you (personally I find 14g/1.2mm or 16g/1.6mm at a 12mm diameter works best, 1.6mm or smaller is thin enough to slip most charms on and off easily- though I probably wouldn’t go smaller than 1mm as, depending on weight, it may not be strong enough to securely hold the charm- and 12mm diameter rings fit comfortably through a tunnel without either touching my lobes or hanging down so low that the charms become entangled with other jewellery or clothing. Though I am also partial the the huge diameter captive bead rings, sans additional charms, threaded through tunnels “look” as their own thing).

You’re welcome.
