or, my marbles.
About five years ago I bought a half-dozen captive bead earrings and more or less stopped changing things. I'm pretty sure I've got two 12g 1/2 in., two 14g 7/16 in., and two 16g 3/8 in., with 5mm beads in the big ones and 4mm in the rest.
Some time last Friday night or Saturday morning, I lost one of the beads from the middle-sized ring in my left ear. I've had to take them in and out more often lately than any time in the past five years - MRIs and so on, dontcha know. So the captive bead broke free - hardly a surprise.
So I'm on the hunt for at the very least a replacement 4mm capture bead. But better yet, as far as I'm concerned, would be a whole new set, with maybe some more variety. The current rings are stainless (I assume) with hematite beads; all the same. It seems to me it might be good to have some difference among them - I'm not averse to different color rings, but it'd be more my style to have plain rings with just different beads. The internets have shown me a lot of things that must surely be intended for more interesting piercings on more interesting people - but also some stuff that's vaguely in line with what I have in mind. Here's a rainbow titanium ring that could go in the top of my right ear (I've got two pairs in each lobe, plus a third ring in the left lobe, and a single up in the cartilage on the right). Otherwise I think I'm after silver (stainless or titanium, I'm not fussed) with different color beads. Anyone know where I can get such things - online or in person?
