I have two, since I was 16. I usually wear white gold sleepers, because they are easy to sleep in. But I have a multitude of colours, sizes and shapes. To match or contrast with every outfit. I have been collecting earring for years, but sometimes a really unique pair breaks, which then breaks my heart.
I am not sure if they are Biblical, but I like them. My mom wouldn't let me get them pierced when I was young, and all my friends were doing it. When I went out on my own, the first thing I did was get them pierced. Then my mom not only turned around and pierced her ears, but also my 9 year old sister. Talk about the oldest sibling losing out!
She admitted they are so much nicer and easier to wear than clip ons, and she has worn them ever since. One in each ear, of course. She is in her 80's.
