Hi Amanda-
I think all the other girls have given you good advice about where to find nice clip-ons. Also you might check this out
http://www.bing.com/shopp[...]M=HURE they allow you to convert pierced earrings to clip-on and may give you more choices.
If you don't mind, and I'm certainly not taking exception to your decision not to pierce your ears, but why don't you want to do that? I realize there are all sorts of reasons, from hassles in the work environment to a spouse's disapproval to simple personal preference. But in this day and age lots of men, who may or may not be closeted tgirls, who's to say, have pierced ears, from lawyers to bikers. If I may share a personal experience, I worked in a very conservative, ultra-macho atmosphere when I chose to get my ears pierced. Oddly enough, for a bunch who prided themselves on being observant of their surroundings, it was over a month before anyone even noticed. People tend to see what they expect to see and what they expected was me without pierced ears. When it was finally noticed, our boss wanted to implement a dress code that stated that no men could have pierced ears, possibly exactly the sort of to-do you want to avoid. My supervisor, who knew about me being TG, helpfully pointed out that in order for this dress code to pass muster and not be discriminatory it would have to apply to everyone, including women whether office staff or in the field.
Well, to make a long story short...or at a least a little shorter...the policy died stillborn. I did agree to wear discreet earwear, ie, no big dangly chandelier style earrings and so on and just go with studs or small hoops. And earmuffs. Ha...NOT! Anyway the reason for going on at length about this is not so much to dispute your choice, you seem very much a girl who knows her own mind, but just to point out to others who may be contemplating this step that it's often not as big a deal as we make it in our own minds. Believe me, I did agonize about it before I did it, for me it was a small gesture toward being who I am.
Merry Christmas, Briana, to you and yours.

Hi Joni,
Where do you get designer ear-muffs?

Earings are the things to embellish me that I should buy more.
I am more now with playing with small magic magnets balls, that could be perfect for creating your own creative ring or bracelet. For a pair of earings their weight is high as I am not used to it and because it creates physical magnet attracting effect. But, at least, I create what I want.
I might surely go for buying real ones. And maybe piercing my ears too.
Thanks,
Fleur

You could try 'Claire's Accessories'....that's where I got my clip-on earrings from. They are quite cheap, lightweight so don't hurt your ears and have a nice selection, so you can buy a few pairs and see which ones you like best and which suit you!

having my ears pierced was my first step of transition. the first gold studs led to lotsa big danglies. I tried clip ons but they stung after a couple of hours so I went to danglies and have huge choice. feel naked without em now.

I wear hoop earrings. I got them from Cliptomania.com. Plus that's where I get just about all my earrings.
They sell only clip earrings.
