Question about Gold Sphere/Ball Earrings

[fawnx]

I want to get a pair of tiny gold sphere earrings but apparently these earrings are usually hollow. Does this mean they are likely to get dented? I would wear them almost daily. This is the pair I love, and I confirmed with customer service that they are hollow:

What are your experiences with hollow gold sphere earrings? Thanks!

I wear 10mm and have not had a problem. Perhaps if they are stored with other items that are heavy and bang together?

I have 6 mm ones from Blue Nile that I wear daily. Just be careful if you hold a phone to your ear.

I have some that are 7 or 8mm like this and they're fine. I've had them for a few years and wear them often with not so much as a scratch. They're some of my favorite studs. I imagine you'd have to step on one or bite one or something to dent it. They're pretty sturdy and stud earrings are pretty low impact jewelry.

Even I wear a 10mm one.

And don't leave them near teething kittens. I have a hollow gold hoop with a neat little puncture in because the kittens found them.

I'll try not to! Thanks for your input!

Oh no! My kitty likes to nibble things too. Thanks for your input!

Lol! I know it's a strange image, but my mom actually has some beautiful gold hoops that my brother bit into when he was a baby and they did dent.

Slowlikehoney, those are probably some of your mom's favorites. I have an gold locket from my great-grandmother. It is full of dents where each of her children gummed it while teething, including my grandfather. Jewelry with stories is the best jewelry.

She does love telling that story! In fact those earrings have quite a little history already.
Apparently they were the first birthday gift that my dad's father ever bought for my mother and my dad got angry at him for buying his new wife such an expensive gift. (My grandfather was quite a flirt.)
So I think my dad was somewhat gratified when my brother 'ruined' them, though my mom still wore them all the time.
My brother turns 50 next August!
I agree that the best jewelry is jewelry with a story attached!
