Ask the Experts Findings/Earrings Q&A

I have a faithful customer who wears clip-on earrings. What can I use to make them less painful for her? Is there something similar to the coating for tools that could be used?

You may want to offer your customer a clip-slip comfort pad for use with her clip-on earrings. These are designed for use with our hinged clip-on earrings and allow more comfort for the wearer.

As an alternative, you might consider a clip-on earring with an adjustable back that has a screw as well as a hinge. They are comfortable and good looking in silver plate, gold plate, copper plate and more, as well as easy to adjust and wear.
