I used to think I needed only one pair of "perfect" piercing on my ears.

When I was 8, my mother took me to the local jeweler's in Singapore and the lady used a piercing gun which shot the earrings into my ears. It looked like a gun, shot the earring into your ear, and hurt a darned lot. The shame was that the gun was so inaccurate in aiming, that when I turned 22 in 2002, I realised I couldn't live with my earholes in the centre of my ears. By that time, there were local vendors offering piercings "clip-style" that were a lot less painful. I redid the piercings on both ears, and was happier with the new placement.
However, being such a pedantic, in 2010 I was starting to find that the repiercing in my right ear, still a tad further away from where I would've liked. So I had it repierced in the middle of last year. It is a wee bit closer to my face than my left ear piercing, (probably about 0.5mm difference) but I am overall contented.

Sorry that I can't get the picture upright!! But from left to right: my first piercing (in the middle of the ear), 2nd piercing done in 2002, and my last and final piercing done in 2010.

Of late, I have started finding the idea of multiple earholes, very attractive! I recall seeing some of your earshots of baby studs in bezels and martinis and they were gorgeous!

I work in a conservative job in a bank, and I am client facing all the time. Would it be ok for me to sport 2 diamond studs? I currently own 2 pairs of diamond studs: 1.2 ctw white gold martini studs, and 1.6 ctw yellow gold bezel studs. Sometime in the near future, I hope to own a third pair of 2.55 ctw platinum martini studs.

What size studs and settings would you recommend? At this point it seems that a martini setting would go with both sets of earrings quite well.

Please show me your multiple ear piercings and how you usually wear your diamond studs in them?

P.S. Can anyone suggest how high up in my earlobes should the second earholes be placed?

I'd be really happy to see what you have to say!
 
Impossible mission IMO! How could you wear a .60 + .80 + 1.10 cts in one lobe?

The holes are really near each other. The diamonds will climb over each other. :errrr:

I have 3 holes per ears and much more place between the holes and I have to limit the size of my stud diamonds! Believe me!

In this picture I have a .35 ct + ovale diamond hoops. All I can add is .50 ct maximum.

Thanks for your pic stci! I haven't thought about it but now that I've seen how good your hoops look with the baby studs, I think I will have more projects in the future! I appreciate that perspective!!

Just want to clarify, I intend to wear one pair of studs (either the 0.6 or 0.8) at a time, together with the baby studs. That's why I'm trying to find out what size of baby studs and which position to pierce would work best for me.
 
Hi missy! I have a pair of 1.00ctw studs that I wear in my first piercings, and when they get lonely I buddy them up with my .30ctw bezel studs in YG. I like the contrast!

I have 2 pairs of diamond studs. One is a pair that's martini set and is just over a carat total weight. The other pair is bezel set and is around a third of a carat total weight (from Whiteflash). The baby bezels are by far my favorite. I absolutely love them and would highly recommend WF for these. Here is a photo of my baby bezels with a white gold ball stud. I usually don't wear earrings in my second holes though.

When I look at your gorgeous youg ears I always think how it's difficult to become older! :D
 
My favourite earrings are my Tiffs baby bezels - 0.1ctw in plat ::)

I only have one hole in each ear, and they're like little bits of glitter IRL
 
I have two piercings, and usually wear my BGD .25 tcw (.12 each) martini studs in the top holes, and my WF scattered diamond hoops in the lower ones. I don't have pics of the two together, but here are my BGD studs. I've also got a comparison photo with .25tcw bezels from WF. I ended up not liking the bezels, and went for the martinis instead.

My first piercings aren't symmetrical from one ear to the other. Drives me crazy, but the difference is too slight to correct by repiercing. Meh.

Oh my, looking at everyone's ears with double earrings is making me want my 2nd ear piercing even more now!!

Somehow two earrings in each ear makes each diamond have "more presence", does anyone else agree with me on this??

Geckodani, I think it was seeing your martini studs coupled with your amazing short cropped hair that got me started wanting a 2nd ear piercing. However this is something I will never achieve because my hair is long and will cover the ears most of the time. A short bob just doesn't look good on me! But I really like your look, it's very edgy and girly!

Katiedid, thanks for showing me your baby bezels, and you managed to make even a simple silver ball look class in your ears. I think I can choose the ball for the piercing, I remember the shop offers these as well.

DandiAndi, the half carat studs coupled with the bezels have such presence on your ears. I originally had a pair of 0.492ct and 0.486ct bezeled studs, but I have since traded them in because I wanted more presence on my lobes. I am waiting on a pair of 1.6ct bezeled studs, but I believe a 2nd baby diamond stud on each ear, like yours will add more OOMPH!!

Yssie, I love your rings!!! Have been admiring your three stone e-ring :P I didn't know that Tiffs did such tiny bezels! Would you mind posting a picture of them?
 
Here's a pic of my 3 piercings. I don't know the size of first stone (it was part of my wedding gift from MIL; I guesstimate it to be 0.33-ish ct). The second stone is a 10 pointers and the third is a 5 pointers. Sometimes I switch out the first pair of studs for my huggies (for everyday wear) or hoops.

Aw, thank you! ::) The hair cut definitely makes me take care with my earring choices - my ears are kinda out there 24/7 for the world to see. :mrgreen:
 
Well thanks! I'm a pretty simple kinda girl, so the little white gold balls suit me just fine - especially in my second holes when I decide to wear earrings in both! I want to bezel my 1 ctw earrings now (they're martini set now but I have found out that I LOVE the bezels). Just wondering if what I love about my baby bezels is the setting or the fact that they're such cute, perfect little stones! I might not like my bigger ones as much once bezeled. Ugghh decisions, decisions...

And I agree - totally love gecko's short funky fun hair and the fact that her earrings SHOW UP! Mine are always covered up with hair except when I'm at the gym with my hair in a ponytail!

Aw shucks. The downside of the short hair is that dangly earrings look... odd. I dunno. When I had long hair I would never wear studs. Now I never wear anything other than really short leverbacks. I gave my SIL all my danglies when I chopped my hair off again.
