If you continually wear thin wires though the hole in your ear gets smaller. Someone gave me a pair of very thin gold ones years ago, and I wore them a lot because I was very smitten with the person that gave them to me and I didnt want to hurt their feelings, when the relationship ended I took them out and couldnt get ones
with a bigger wire in for ages. By the way they are in my gold melting pot now!!!!!!!
