I think they are from Zulily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2666861 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 14:21:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2666861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: where did you get her second pair from? Does Claire's have 14k ones you can buy not part of the piercing package? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2666852 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 13:37:03 +0000 808love 2666852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Sorry I missed your original post. We did Claires--their highest gold option with LO---because of I wanted to avoid my own problems with sensitivity and nightmarish piercing past as a kid. She refused to take her off her starts for years because we unintentionally scared her to death with the earring cleaning/preventing infection video on Claire's website. So she finally let me change her earrings for the first time two nights ago when she lost a backing in the bounce house!! Early Christmas present. I loved her Claire's earrings but the new ones are a breath of fresh air. I went with coated 14k for her second pair. We'll see how it goes. So far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2666666 Fri, 16 Dec 2016 16:14:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2666666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update, we did 14K gold and they have healed beautifully. </p> <p>I'm now on the hunt for her first pair of fashion earrings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591734 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 07:50:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2591734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Thats good to hear, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591511 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 17:40:25 +0000 MamaG 2591511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my girls had their ears done at 1 at Claire's with gold earrings with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591504 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 17:21:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2591504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: glad to hear the gold worked for her! The lady (girl?) at Claire's said they recommend the gold as their best for any general sensitivity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591503 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 17:19:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2591503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: that's what I've heard to be careful about gold because it can still contain nickel. </p> <p>@looch: I've heard mixed things about this just being a label. </p> <p>My other problem is that I think I'm stuck with the Claire's options at the mall. No pediatricians do it here and the only piercing salon I've heard about (he's and RN) won't do it until age 8. Claire's will not let you bring your own. I just don't know how much to trust when they say 14k or stainless or titanium as to what grade it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591399 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 12:53:14 +0000 looch 2591399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an allergy to 18k gold ( I know, first world problems) so I wear primarily surgical stainless steel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591398 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 12:42:56 +0000 MrsRoo 2591398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 had hers pierced with gold. Will probably do the same with dd2, although I'll follow this to see what experiences with other metals everyone has had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591397 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 12:36:47 +0000 MrsSRS 2591397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm allergic to nickel so we won't do gold. Maybe stainless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-metal-for-first-earnings#post-2591391 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 12:10:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2591391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your child has their ears pierced, what material was the first pair of earrings? I am sensitive and so I wear gold or white gold. Has anyone looked into or tried titanium? </p>
