Great price--but I have pierced ears, so my clip-on earrings go unworn. I always think of wearing them in my hair, or as shoe clips, but I always forget.

I have pierced ears too, but only wear clip-ons since that's how most vintage earrings come

When I touch my earlobes I can feel the piercings and I don't want to squash them with clips. I guess it is scar tissue inside the lobe. Doesn't everyone have that?

Is it a lump that you're feeling? If so, no that's not normal and could indicate a keloid.

A keloid is a form of scar tissue. Some people develop these pads of scar tissue around injuries. My husband has them. If I understand correctly, it is usually harmless, and mainly means that your scars are more obvious.

Oh you're correct. It's just unusual for them to develop around earlobe piercings. They are common around improperly pierced or poorly cared-for cartilege piercings though.

It isn't on the outside where it can be seen, but I can feel the piercings. It doesn't hurt or anything, I'm just squeamish.

These great earrings end tomorrow!
