WHAT IS THE EAR STUD?

A minimalist earring style that includes a focal point attached to a post, which goes through the earlobe and connects to a removable back that keeps the earring in place.A stud is a type of minimalist earring that has a small singular point attached to a post that passes through the earlobe to a backing. A single stud may be bare metal or adorned with a small gemstone or a singular design to draw attention to the piece. There are several different types of backings for stud earrings, with varying levels of security offered by each. The types of backs that one might choose from include screw, tension, lever, ball, and push backings. Some studs will even use multiple gemstones that are even smaller or a larger stud to provide greater surface area for showcasing the design.

WHAT IS THE COSTUME JEWELRY?

Costume or fashion jewelry includes a range of decorative items worn for personal adornment that are manufactured as less expensive ornamentation to complement a particular fashionable outfit or garment as opposed to "real" (fine) jewelry, which is more costly and which may be regarded primarily as collectibles, keepsakes, or investments. From the outset, costume jewelry — also known as fashion jewelry — paralleled the styles of its more precious fine counterparts.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR EARRINGS AND EAR PIERCINGS?

1.Earring Care

Your earrings can be cleaned with sea salt water solution or mild soap and water. Rubbing alcohol and harsh chemicals are not necessary. When you clean your earrings, it is best to use a clean cotton swab or Q-tip rather than soaking the earrings in a solution. Use the cotton swab or Q-tip to gently wipe off the earring and earring back.

The plated portions of the earrings can be wiped with a microfiber towel to restore shine and remove debris or fingerprints. When they are not being worn, your earrings should be stored in a dry environment where they will not be scratched or bumped by other items. 

2.Ear Piercing Care

Wash your piercing daily with a sea salt and water solution or mild soap and water. Rubbing alcohol will dry out the piercing and can cause it to take longer to heal. You do not need to remove your earring while you clean it daily. Just make sure that you rinse out the area properly. Only touch your earring and piercing with clean hands. Use ice if there is any swelling.

HOW TO CARE FOR NEWLY PIERCED EARS?

1.Wash hands thoroughly before touching the ears or the earrings.

2.Use a cotton swab (Q-tip) with salt water to clean the area around the hole twice a day. Some recommend using hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, or antibiotic ointment but salt water disinfects and is less damaging to the skin tissue. The place where you have the piercing done will likely recommend an ear piercing cleaning solution, but salt water is what I would recommend.

3.With clean hands, gently rotate the earrings in the ear at least twice a day.

4.Watch for signs of infection which include redness, itching, swelling, heat, pus, and pain. Infection can be caused by bacteria or by allergic reaction.
