The holes closing up have been a real problem for me. I’ve had to have mine re-pierced several times, due to their closing up. I still like to wear earrings, but I find if I don’t wear a pair every day, it isn’t long before I can’t get one or more of them in. Awhile back, the one hole that never used to close up closed. It’s a drag to have to re-open them so often.
Also, I prefer French hooks to studs or posts, and I absolutely hate the hinged type. They almost never close properly. I’ve had several pairs re-fashioned by a jeweler to replace the hinges with hooks.
I see that continuous hoops are coming back. I used to wear those, but now have trouble getting that tiny thread of a wire on one end into that impossibly narrow tube on the other end to complete the hoop. And, they tend to come undone, because often only the tip of the wire will go into the tube. They tend to be really cheaply made these days.
