Don’t Ignore Your Second Hole: How To Showcase The Double Piercing
At age 16, getting a double piercing in your ears seems like a necessity. By 20, however, you wonder why you’d ever even bothered.
With a jewelry box full of necklaces, bracelets and rings, it’s easy to overlook gems for your earlobes. But summer’s heat often makes wearing layered necklaces and bangles a sweaty, heavy mess. Instead of getting weighed down, start focusing on light metal decorations for your multiple ear piercings.
Don’t forget about that stylish double piercing: Embrace it. Trendy minimalism has resulted in a plethora of multi-hole earrings, ear cuffs and jackets. If you’ve ever wanted to experiment with ear jewelry, now’s the time.
Go modern, using one piece of jewelry through both piercings.
Here’s the coolest styling tip on the block: Never use two earrings to do what one could do just as well. Instead of wearing an earring in each hole, choose one that’s simple enough to go through both piercings at once.

Double duty: a chain earring that doubles as a stud.
Hoop earrings seem almost antiquated when considering newer kinds of statement earrings, like a decorative chain. It’s half Hot Topic, half “Pretty Woman” and all edge.

Can’t find two sets of earrings? Switch to a long one instead.
Putting in just one piece of jewelry is quick and stress-free, making an ear crawler the ideal choice for an early work day. It’s also the ideal pick for a woman who’d rather fake multiple piercings than actually go under the needle.

Don’t be afraid to get a little artsy with your earring stack.
Instead of stopping at two piercings, get a little wild and put on a decorative ear cuff. The jewelry makes a huge statement and enables you to have a little fun with an often-ignored part of the body. When it comes to cuffs, wilder is better.

Geometric earrings play well together.
Jewelry has traditionally been about rounded, ladylike shapes that avoid harsh lines. However, today’s trendy jewelry dares to try something new. Pick up a pair or two of geometric shapes, wearing them together to create a linear vignette on your earlobe.

Ear cuffs are always a stylish choice, especially when paired with a sleek partner.
Ear cuffs are increasingly in vogue, but that doesn’t mean you have to eschew all other earrings. Try a bent bar with a little color, trading in a simple stud for something a little more complex.

When in doubt, know that delicate is always better.
Bulky costume jewelry has its place, but nothing makes you seem more put together than elegant, thin chains. Make a subtle statement by choosing earrings that complement your face rather than overwhelming it.

Make sure all your earrings fall into the same aesthetic family.
There’s nothing wrong with mixing jewelry, but the look works best if you make sure each piece shares a similar style. Stick to silver or gold, choosing a consistent aesthetic that ensures the look blends together.

Prefer pearls to a modern look? That’s okay, too.
Pearls are timeless, appropriate for both business and your off-hours. If minimalist metal and bedazzled designs aren’t your style, embrace an updated favorite by choosing a set of pearls that’s set in an unusual way.
