I have a problem.

I’m allergic to earrings.

Allergenic, non allerginic, it doesn’t matter.

In the last 10 years I’ve been able to wear one pair of earrings.

Of course these earrings were purchased for me when I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding, so of course they are a little too formal to wear the majority of the time.

I went to things remembered, where my friend got the earrings, and asked the salesperson what they were made of. She said it was just regular sterling silver.

I’ve tried sterling silver in the past, and it doesn’t usually work, so I’m still not sure what the deal is.

Over the week I gave in and ordered some Epiphany platinum clad diamonique earrings from QVC.

I figured maybe the platinum clad earrings would help.

I got the earrings today.

Before I even put the second one on, my first ear was burning.

Yeah, I’m a glutton for punishment, so I kept wearing it to see if the pain would go away.

Believe it or not, it didn’t.

Within 10 minutes of their arrival the earrings were packed up and ready to go back to the store.

Twenty minuts later, my ears still feel like they are on fire.

I guess I’ll be on the non earring guest list for a bit longer

If you know of any (easily returnable) earrings that you think would work for my delicate ears, I’d love to know about them.
