Fake a Double Piercing with this Trick!

I got this idea from a customer who asked if this was possible… it had never even occurred to me to try! Turns out it’s entirely possible to wear two earrings in one piercing! Pull off this fake-out with an ear climber and an earring that doesn’t sit on the ear like a hoop or a dangle.

Depending on the size of your piercing, you may only be able to do this with a thinner gauge post or ear wire. If you have stretched holes from wearing heavy earrings, you can make it work with thicker gauge ear wires/posts.

I will show you with the Squiggle Ear Climber and the Small Slash Hoop. These both have 22-gauge ear wires and fit easily in my piercing hole which is not very stretched.

Just slide one earring in, then the other! Adjust as necessary. Let me know if this blows your mind as much as it blew mine!

Sand Cast Organic Hoops

Each pair is unique; slight variations will occur.

These hoops were born from a mistake: the original carved wax piece was meant to be a ring, but the molten metal didn’t flow all the way through the mold. This process happen twice (this can happen— sand casting is a rudimentary and ancient process!), creating two asymmetrical pieces from the same wax-carve prototype. I decided to make them into hoops, rather than melt them back down because they were so perfectly imperfect!

I enjoyed wearing these hoops so much, I decided to cast them to order using recycled scrap from me studio.
