Earring Weights
- Lightweight: Earrings in the 2 to 4 grams range per ear are generally considered lightweight and ideal for everyday wear, often feeling "barely-there".
- Medium Weight: Weights around 5 to 7 grams per ear are often where comfort starts to become "touchy" for some wearers, depending on the person's earlobe thickness and tolerance.
- Heavyweight: Earrings that exceed 10 grams per ear are widely considered heavy by most people.
- Statement/Occasional Wear: Some elaborate designs can weigh 20 grams or more per ear. These are generally intended for short-term wear at events like galas or weddings, as long-term use can cause discomfort or damage to the earlobes.
