I have pierced ears, but one of my holes is almost ripped through, so I've been looking for magnetic earrings -- that are held on by magnetic force -- as an alternative to pierced, which will slowly but surely rip my ear-hole through, or clip, which hurt. These DO exists, I have a few other pair... but these aren't them. These are pierced and the only thing the magnet is supposed to do is cure many things that ail you (things other than a ripped earring hole I guess)... so, I like the look and will keep them and wear with my liquid bandage solution for lightweight pierced earrings -- who knows, maybe I'll lose weight, never get a headaches, and a bunch of other stuff the magnets claim to do.
