Now a days, it is so difficult to look for good pair of great fitting clip earrings. There are only a few people left now who have no ear piercing, especially with the widespread availability of cute and affordable piercing accessories. I’m one of those people left with closed ears so I am constantly in the search of clip earrings that I can wear on any occasion to brighten up my outfit. I know, I know, it might seem a bit surprising for a modern woman like me to have no piercing in my ears, but there are still some of us remaining who don’t have pierced ears.

As I started my long and arduous search for a cute pair of clip earrings, I came into varying directions and ran into some dead ends. I am not very picky when it comes to the clip-on variety of earrings and only need two things basically. The first and most important requirement that I have with these type of earrings is that they must be very, very comfortable. After all, you can really be unpleasantly surprised and shocked of how painful to the ears these things are. Trust me, I have learned this the hard way based on personal experience.

Sometimes, I even have to go to the extent of removing my clip earrings because it became too uncomfortable and painful to my ears. I usually feel a great deal of pain and this usually happens when the clip earrings is very, very heavy. Some clips are so fragile and poorly made that they are not able to evenly hold the weight so that after some hours or in some cases after just a few minutes, I immediately begin to feel the pain and find that these earrings are pulling themselves away from the earlobes. Ouch. very painful really.

So, it’s of the greatest importance that you choose those kind of clip earrings are light weight top the touch. I do not have problems with this since I really like small earrings. My next problem is that small and light weight clip earrings are difficult to find. There are few stocks available, so hang on to them if you are lucky to find one.

Most of the time, I have some luck finding clip earrings at estate sales. These sales are great for someone who wants to purchase old stuff that is hard to find.

Antique stores are also my favorite haunts. Though generally a hit or miss situation, I can sometimes find cute clip earrings here. But sometimes I leave the store with nothing.

Other recommended places to search for clip earrings are secondhand shops, yard sales and flea markets. Many new styles and version of earrings can be bought at these sales.

Now, I have found a great resource on the net. Online shopping is an eye opener for new sources of clip earrings. Now, these pieces of jewelry are not so hard to find anymore.
