To help avoid this, and still wear your favorite earrings, have thick posts installed. The thin posts or wires, combined with the weight of the earring stretches or tears the holes larger. This is both unsightly and painful. Thickening the posts by either having new thicker posts attached by your jeweler, or by slipping plastic post shields over them. Your ears will thank you for the change.
