Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Earrings
- Hypo-allergenic protective coating (various brands)
- Tray or dish partially filled with uncooked white rice
- Rubbing alcohol
- Cotton swabs
Step1
Buy the hypo-allergenic coating from a specialty jewelry store, salon or online. The coating is usually packaged similar to nail polish and is sold under a variety of brand names. Do not just use clear nail polish.
Step2
Read all of the directions on the coating.
Step3
Clean the posts or wires on your earrings with the swabs and rubbing alcohol.
Step4
Coat the metal area which will touch your ears with a generous (but not ridiculous) amount of the coating. Be sure to keep the coating out of any hinges.
Step5
Gently place the earring in the rice-filled dish, with the coated portions facing up. Make sure the earring will stay upright when you let go.
Step6
Let the coating dry. Drying time is usually about thirty minutes.
Step7
Enjoy your earrings!
