    Hi, I was told when you're first getting your ear pierced you cannot put in white gold, sterling silver, diamond etc studs, until 6 weeks after it. That is kind of annoying :(

    What happens if you do put them in? surely it can't be that bad?

    Thanks for any help

    None are suitable for a fresh piercing, its that simple.

    gold, cubic zirconia?

    The ones you mentioned seem harder to find, and look pretty plain/crappy?

    The person who pierces your ear in a reputable studio will most likely use titanium. It has to be left in for 6/8 weeks until its healed. Then you can change it to whatever you like providing its healed properly.
