I have the same problem. I wear a lot of the earrings that don't have backs... They just kind of loop through your ear holes. They fall out a lot. I was at recess one day, talking with one of my co-teachers. A kid comes up with an earring in his hand and says (proudly), "Look! We found an earring! We smashed it with a rock!! " Yep-- that was mangled earring.  |

In the 80's I would wear mismatched earrings all the time. That was the thing here. So all the ones I lost up to that time came in handy. I had multiple holes.
I don't wear earrings any more. I haven't for many years. my holes closed a long time ago.

You just need one extra hole in one ear. Then you can wear your singles.  |

Oh, I hate that! I have very curly hair and my earrings would get caught in it all the time and I'd lose one. After losing one of a very favorite pair I went to the bead shop and picked up a small bag of the rubber backing things that slide on the back of the ear wires. Voila, no more lost earrings!

I have some of those rubber things, but I get lax about using them. And that is when I lose an earring.

If you can't find the pair you can cut the back off and use as a flower center or charms for shaker cards lol

I did for my daughter (she got her ears pierced at 5). I put on her regular backs and then the rubber ones as "double insurance" I use the rubber backs on my dangly ones so they won't fall out too. |

My dd wears mismatched. She pairs ones that coordinate with each other, like a pearl stud with a small dangly pearl and gold earring for the other ear.
