They look different. Hang different. Feel different. Some earrings are heavy and like to tilt down. Some roll in and point towards your head. One earring may also hang lower than the other earring and be noticeable. You have to try them on. How are you supposed to know if you really like the earring? And even if they do read them, they ignore them. They put them on to see how they fit. Rip them out of their ears? People like to test drive products. I know customers are going to pop them in their ears no matter what I say or what the law says.
I know all that. But ladies try them on anyway. So I just made it a habit to sanitize the earrings after every customer. I put them in the ultrasonic cleaner to sanitize them again. Just realize, that you may find the perfect hoop or diamond earring for your particular earlobes, but you may also find a little something, something as well…. They said they do not regulate the sale of pierced earrings and suggested I contact the local board of health in my city they are going to get back to me.
As far as I can tell, there is no federal regulation. Each state and city can make its own rules. I did find a post on a jewelry message board by a professional writer who often does stories about the jewelry industry. She says that she questioned someone at the Centers for Disease Control about the subject and was told it is not considered a significant risk. Being a store owner and also going through a not very pleasent treatment for hepatitis-c.
I would never let anyone try on earrings. I have received numerious dirty looks and a few tossed earrings on my jewelery counter but only because of having the customers best interest at heart. Sure it maybe unlikely but not all together imposible. No laws regulating this that I know of. I think it would actually be very hard to catch something from an earring, unless you yourself had an open wound pierced ears that are healed and not infected are not an open wound and there was something awful on the earring as well.
Anyway, I used to be able to wear the cheapest earrings around. Anything else, and the holes get all red, sore and oozy. Actually, the holes left after a piercing heals can continue to leak white blood cells through secretions you might not even notice it can happen with surgical scars as well. You can imagine how much crap the piercing industry has had to educate people about to be taken seriously and prove their sterile technique.
Years ago, I worked at Spencer Gifts. They had signs saying that earrings were nonreturnable per state law. However, the store handbook said, basically, there were no laws against it nor is there any law against returning a bathing suit , and that if someone insisted, you were to make the return, clean the earring thoroughly in alcohol, and put it back.
That wouldprevent transmission of anything. Also… ew, people try on earrings? If anyone can provide any factual information, I would appreciate it.
