Simply Whispers

When I was 13 years old, my birthday present was getting my ears pierced. It was a HUGE deal for me. Most of the other girls in my class already had their ears pierced ... I felt like I was the last one. Ugh. And everything was fine for about 10 years or so. Then I started to have problems. Always infected or sore. Then I developed keloids and had to have shots of cortizone. Literally a real pain. I messed with them for a few more years and then finally gave up. Took the earrings out and let them grow over.

Then last summer while I was at the mall with my son, I decided to try again. Thinking maybe since I was older and perhaps my body chemistry had changed, it would be ok. I got the 14k gold starter posts just to be on the safe side. It is was fine for the 6 weeks I had the starter posts in. Then the first pair of 'regular' earrings I put in = not good. Major probs. Even the nickel-free sensitive ears ones from Khols did not help. :(

So I decided that real gold earrings were the only option. And that trick seems to work. But have you priced real gold? And the selection?? (Not many styles.) :(

I was about to give up and let my ears grow over again when I received a catalog in the mail called Simply Whispers. It's a collection of  allergy-safe jewelry for nickel-sensitive skin! YES!! They have a huge selection and the prices are fantastic, but best of all I have had no problems at all with any of the earrings I have ordered from them. (The earring wardrobe is now growing again... ;)
