Some people who can wear gold can also wear sterling earrings, some cannot. If you try a pair and they irritate your ears, try coating the posts with clear nail polish, that is sometimes enough to prevent irritation and infection.

Thanks Karen! I am hoping that since the metal is pure - maybe it won't irritate my ears. I did try the nail polish once - but OOUCHH!!! it somehow reacted with my ears even worse I HATE having these sensitive ears but earrings! I am going to try a pair of the sterling - am watching for something pretty with mother-of-pearl
