Re-designing earrings to be worn in stretched ears.

I have seen a few people on here who are on the fence about stretching, because they also want to be able to wear their regular earrings. I too have regular earrings that I like, so my plan is to re-design them to be worn in stretched ears, through tunnels/eyelets/earskins.
It will only work with dangly earrings, though.
I just buy jewellery-wire and replace the normal hook with one that fits through a tunnel, and volia, I can use my dangly goodies again :)

Did that make sense? I'm a bit under the weather today, so my brain is a bit slow... :roll:

Makes perfect sense to me!

I'm just going to stretch 'til I get to a point where I'm happy with the size of my lobes, then get a regular piercing further up. That way I can just wear regular earrings in the regular holes. :D

Yeah, I have a regular piercing next to my strethed one as well, where I kan wear studs etc.
But I have a few dangly ones that I also want to wear, so they are getting re-designed :)

I used to 'pierce' kaos hiders, and wear stud earrings. Looks ridiculous now though, when my ears are 5 times larger than the stud fronts >.<
I still wear most of my hangies of varying gauges through a pair of eyelets, or three.
