@April_Rose Earrings make good Christmas presents, don't they?Why don't you do Christmas? That's when Jesus was born.

@April_Rose For those who do, of course...
(You voted '15 or less'; does this maybe mean you wish you had had them done when you were around that age?

No it isn'tWhy don't you do Christmas? That's when Jesus was born.
Jesus was born during the feast of Tabernacles. That's why Mary and Joseph found no room at the Inn.
In the Fall.
December 25th is a Pagan Holiday created by Rome to celebrate, their god,
Though December 25 is the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the date itself and several of the customs we've come to associate with Christmas actually evolved from pagan traditions celebrating the winter solstice. ... "In ancient Rome there was a feast called Saturnalia that celebrated the solstice.
Deu 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Deu 4:20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
I left that all behind a long time ago.

Actually I had them pierced when I was around fifteen but I don't have them pierced anymore.
Ah,.. I see.
@April_Rose Oh I see; they closed up and you never thought strongly enough to have them done again...

@April_Rose Everyone is different, right?
Important to concentrate first and foremost on the inward and spiritual. Which is indeed Scriptural to do.
But some ppl are not concerned about having any earrings at all. Others will get at least 2 pairs of holes put in, which seems to be the very wide custom for many...
@April_Rose Some ppl are not into jewelry as much. Kind of preferring minimalism, right?
@April_Rose PS: Sometimes if they are done in 16 or 18 gauge the holes are less likely to close up than if they are in the basic 20 gauge...
(Might be something for ppl to bear in mind, anyway...)

@April_Rose I don't really mean the big, stretched holes for plugs, as some ppl do; instead, if the person wants holes that won't likely close up quickly, s/he needs to ask the piercer to do them with a needle in 16 or 18 gauge, which might make all the difference.
From back, @Pearl Although there is a classic simplicity about studs for the lobes, there is indeed something special about the pendants which are long and swing constantly; I have given my wife pearl-style pendant earrings. Some ppl do prefer pendants to hoops; something classy about long dangles.
@April_Rose Well, for some ppl "minimalism" means no earrings at all; for others it means one small stud each side...
