4-2. Recommended earrings by material: Choose titanium, 316L, or 925 silver depending on the occasion

• Titanium 1.2 mm x outer diameter 10 mm
  : Black or Matte Silver

  These versatile earphones are perfect for any occasion, from business to casual wear. Lightweight and durable pure titanium earphones are ideal for preventing metal allergies and reduce ear strain even when worn for extended periods. The subdued black and matte silver colors complement any outfit and add a touch of individuality.

• 316L 1.0 mm × outer diameter 8 mm
  : Captive ring structure for added security

  The captive ring design prevents the earrings from falling off, significantly reducing the risk of losing them while at work or on the move. The sharp, sophisticated, and small size (1.0 mm thick x 8 mm outer diameter) complements a suit perfectly and creates a casual, cool impression. Highly durable, these earrings are perfect for everyday wear.

  The subtle presence and soft shine of silver add a touch of elegance to casual holiday style. The 12mm diameter sits comfortably on the ears, creating a relaxed impression. If you're concerned about sweat or discoloration, simply rinse lightly with fresh water after use and wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth or tissue to maintain its beautiful shine.

4-3. Comfort is made all the difference with clasps - Tips for choosing clasps for earrings that you can wear all the time

When wearing earrings 24 hours a day, one thing that is often overlooked is the construction of the clasp. Even if the design is attractive, if the clasp is difficult to use or comfortable to wear, it can be difficult to wear for long periods of time. Here we will compare the types of common clasps and their features, and give you tips on how to choose the most comfortable clasp that is perfect for you.

Even if the clasp is well-constructed, there is still a chance that it may get caught on your hair or clothes. The most important thing to be careful of when wearing earrings is that they may get caught on your hair or clothes when you change clothes. The best option is to choose hoop earrings with a catchless design that does not have a clasp.

5-2. To prevent metal allergies: Revisiting the important steps in choosing earring materials

Patch test: Check for redness and itching after 48 hours

To wear earrings safely, it's important to check beforehand whether the material is suitable for your skin. Apply the earring material to an inconspicuous area, such as the inside of your arm or behind your ear, for 48 hours and check for any redness, itching, or other reactions. If there are no reactions, you can wear them safely.

Titanium is recommended as your first choice: peace of mind like metal allergy insurance

If you're unsure which material to choose for your earrings, the first thing you should consider is pure titanium. It's medical-grade, gentle on the skin, and has an extremely low risk of allergies, giving you peace of mind like an "insurance" against metal allergies. Titanium is the perfect first choice, especially for those new to earrings or with sensitive skin.

Once you get used to it, move on to "316L surgical stainless steel" or "925 silver": Start with rhodium-coated earrings for safety

Once you've gotten used to wearing pure titanium earrings and have confirmed that you don't have any metal allergies, you can expand your options to 316L surgical stainless steel or 925 silver, which come in a wide variety of designs. For your first try, it's a good idea to choose earrings with a rhodium coating, which prevents discoloration and the leaching of metal ions.

5-3. To prevent metal allergies: Three essential care items you should have on hand

0.9% saline spray: A must for cleaning your piercing every night

To prevent metal allergies, it's important to keep your piercing hole clean every day. A 0.9% saline spray, with the same osmotic pressure as the human body, gently washes away dirt and metal ions without irritating the wound. Incorporating this into your nightly care routine can help prevent problems.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream: For early treatment of redness and itching

If you experience mild redness or itching around your piercing, early treatment is essential. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream is gentle on the skin and can gently alleviate early symptoms. Apply it quickly before the condition worsens to restore comfort.

Silicone ear pads: Gently relieve pressure on your earrings when using a headset or sleeping

When using a headset or sleeping, pressure on the ear can irritate the piercing. Silicone ear pads reduce pressure on the piercing and ear, allowing you to stay comfortable. Eliminating small everyday stresses will significantly improve your comfort 24 hours a day.

Chapter 6 | Final checklist before purchasing: 5-second confirmation before clicking for "zero mistakes"

If you neglect to check carefully when choosing permanent earrings online, it can lead to pain and uncomfortable pressure later on. We've put together an easy-to-understand table that you can quickly check in just five seconds before adding them to your cart.

6-1. Final check of size, gauge and fasteners

item	Rob Recommended	Helix Recommended	How to check
gauge	18G (1.0 mm)	16G (1.2 mm)	Product specifications → gauge column
Inner/Outer Diameter	Ear thickness +1 mm (around 10 mm)	Ear thickness + 1 mm (6-8 mm)	Measure ear thickness with a vernier caliper
fastener	Flat Push Back	Click hoop or internal	Check the shape with an enlarged photo

6-2. Material labeling and allergy policy

• Make sure it is clearly stated as nickel-free/suitable for those with metal allergies.

  Before purchasing, be sure to check whether the earrings' material and product description clearly state that they are "nickel-free" or "allergy-friendly." This labeling allows those with sensitive skin or allergies to wear them with peace of mind.

• Check the material label, such as 925 silver or 18k gold. Alloys and brass are not allowed.

  Check the material information on the product page to see if it clearly states the material, such as 925 silver, 18k gold, pure titanium, 316L surgical stainless steel, etc. If it uses unclear materials that are likely to cause metal allergies, such as "alloy" or "brass," it's best to avoid it.

6-3. 48-hour monitoring after opening

1. Test the device every six hours to see if there is any pain, pressure, or itching.

2. Conduct a cleaning test: After cleaning with saline before going to bed, check that it is completely dry and odor-free.

3. Conducting a functional test: Check for any snagging or discomfort when putting on or taking off the pillow, earphones, or mask.

6-4. Choosing earrings from online stores is based on numbers and intuition

When choosing earrings, once you have checked the basic comfort by looking at the numbers (size and material), it's time to go by feel. If you feel a sudden spark of excitement in front of the mirror, then that's the perfect earring for you. When excitement and comfort come together, your ears will transform into the best stage for shining with confidence 24 hours a day.

Chapter 7 | Summary: Making wearing earrings 24 hours a day a part of your everyday life

If you've read this far, you already have the four important keys to permanent earrings: material, placement, size, and care. We've reorganized these important points and summarized the specific actions you should take next.

7-1. Review the important points of permanent earrings in 5 lines

1. The basic materials to choose from are titanium, 316L surgical stainless steel, and 925 silver: essential for preventing metal allergies.

2. The size is designed to provide a margin of "ear thickness + 1mm" : zero pressure for 24-hour comfort.

3. Positioning affects comfort : Lobs are the most comfortable, but cartilage (helix and tragus) requires careful positioning.

4. The key to hoop earrings is the clasp : choose a type that won't get caught, such as a click hoop or catchless type.

5. Final checks with the pre-purchase checklist: Avoid mistakes when buying online.

7-2. The first step to wearing earrings 24 hours a day: What to do next based on your type

• For first-timers : Experience 24-hour comfort with pure titanium stud earrings.

• For those who prefer hoop earrings : Ensure daily stability with 316L surgical stainless steel hoop earrings with an outer diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 1.2 mm or less.

• For those who value design and enjoy it : Try silver 925 hoop earrings that combine design and comfort.

Just by wearing a small, permanent earring on your earlobe, your everyday life will become just a little more vibrant. Your everyday life will suddenly begin to shine - try and experience this small change.

7-3. A new everyday life that starts from your ears ── Using natural materials for small earrings

Non-removable earrings are more than just accessories you never take off. They may feel like a part of your body, quietly accompanying you in your everyday moments, whether it's when you wake up in bed in the morning, relaxing at a cafe in the afternoon, or walking home in the pleasant night breeze.

Since it will be a part of your body, I would recommend choosing natural materials such as 925 silver or 18K gold if possible. While titanium and surgical stainless steel are certainly inexpensive and convenient materials, they are chemically manufactured alloys. To put it bluntly, they are like fast food.

Even if the taste and nutrients are chemically the same, the way they are made and the way they feel when you actually eat them can be completely different. I think the same can be said for choosing jewelry. I hope that after reading this, you will think about your body and choose natural materials.
