[Nfb-krafters-korner] beading question

[Becky Frankeberger]

Lillie, story time, giggle. My mom, my sister and I all got our ears pierced
together.  

We found out through many infections, doctors visits, that my mom could only
wear sterling silver, my sister could only wear 14K gold, and I could wear
garbage on up and be fine.  My mom has long since lost this sensitivity, but
my sister never did.

So, I hear you.  My sister had to tell her husband over and over thank you
for whatever piece of jewlry, but she can't wear anything but  gold.  She
paints the inside of her watch with nail polish, so she can at least wear
her watch for a few hours at work.  Now she has an Iphone and never wears
her watch, thus never has an ugly rash ring on her wrist. 

Good luck with the earings. But somehow this group will figure it out,
smile.

Warm smile,
Happy Thanksgivekkah!

Becky and the snoozing Jake

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to this question. If not, I could
do some research, but I thought maybe someone on this list may have the
answer to this question. 

My sister and I both have our ears pearced and both have a sensitivity to
nickel in our earrings. She got her ears pearced before me and always
purchased the for sensitive ears earrings at the store, and these seemed to
work fine for her. However, my ears still swelled up, but when I wore the
stearling silver earrings these were fine for me. I may be throwing around
the wrong terminology and I apologize. 

I think, and I could be wrong that the stuff that causes my ear problems is
in the post of the earring. If I were to make earrings, is there some
special or different type of thing I'd have to buy that wouldn't cause my
ears problems? I apologize because I know I am probably not making sense but
I thought someone may know. I'd just like to be able to make my own
earrings. 

 

Thanks
