I had my ears pierced when I was about 9 and loved changing my earrings every week! I went for more crazy themed ones in my early teens and stopped wearing any earrings for a while when I was 17 as I found most earrings I wore were becoming quite uncomfortable because of the different shapes when I slept and I never remembered to put them back in in the morning.

I got these in my stocking at Christmas the year before last and put them in straight away as pearl looking earrings had become quite popular and I really liked these are they were quite small and not too 'in your face.' I went to sleep that night without taking them out and half way through realised I was still wearing them but because of the round ball shape I couldn't feel them!

I wore these earrings everyday until they literally fell apart (the pearl bit is stick to a silver bit that makes up the back of the ball and part that goes through the ear). My mum purchased another pair for me from Avon, this time they came with 5 other pairs including a larger white pair, a pink pair, a smaller blue pair and a silver pair all with the same iridescent pearl effect.

These earrings are great as they go with all outfits and make you look more dressed up, I've also read that pearl earrings are so supposed to subconsciously brighten up your face which is a plus. The only downside I have about these earrings is they become dull quite quick as they pick up dirt very easily, but they is easy cleaned with a bit of water and soft flannel. They are perfect for anyone who wants comfortable and expensive looking earrings for a cheaper price, they also make a great gift coming in little boxes like this in Avon!
