Anyone have trouble with earrings?

[wutangsfiancee]

Hey Seashell,

I have done as I promised and asked around, alot of ppl have looked at me like I am stupid....lol.... But this is what I have found out.. You need to go to a jewelry store and ask if they do it.. Yes it could end up being expensive, if you had alot of earrings you wanted "dipped". If you happen to live in a smaller town you would have to go to a larger one unless your jewelry store did alot of everything. It is up to you. Well theres your info hon. Later...

I'm poor so I don't have this problem. LOL

The only thing that happens is if gold is saudered (sp?) then it will turn black after I wear it. I am not the one that gets irritated... it is the gold!

HEheheheheheheeeee

I guess that I am one IRRITATING BITCH!


*NARF*

One of the reasons platinum jewelry is so expensive is because it takes a much higher temperature to melt than gold and most jewlers don't buy the equipment. Plus platinum is more than double the price of gold as a pure metal.

I keep two sets of earrings in all the time. 22k hoops my husband's grandmother gave me from Italy and platinum diamond studs my friend made for me. If I change to anything else I get irritated.

Go to a good jewler, not a shop in the mall but find a smaller store that does custom work and explain your situation. They should be able to help you choose something and be willing to give you a refund if what you purchase does not agree with you as long as you return it within a week or so.

Thanks everyone for the info!

I bought a pair of white-gold earrings, so far, no troubles..

I'll still look into getting my silver ones dipped because I have a few of those I really love..

That sounds very much like a nickel allergy to me. Most jewelry has some nickel in it (even when things are stated to be nickel free it just means they are below a standard level) It will probably be a case of finding stuff that has a lower level than normal in it. (Probably why things like platinum are not causing a problem, as it tends to have a lower level of nickel impurity in it)
