Everyone think back to the 80's and early 90's. Remember those earrings that everyone use to wear that kinda went up the side of your ear? Well it seems like all of Greta's friends are wearing them and she wants some. I haven't seen them in stores and don't know what they are called and that makes it difficult to search online.

They had one post that went directly into your piercing hole and then usually on the back clasp it had either something that would dangle from the back of the ear or something that kinda grabbed onto the side of the ear...almost looks like you have piercings going all the way up the cartlidge of your ear. LOL does that make zero sense or what? I remember having them but haven't a clue what it was called. Thanks for any help!

Anyone have any idea where you can buy them? I've looked at Walmart and a few local jewelry stores but haven't seen anything so far. I'm wondering if Claire's would maybe have them? They are 60 miles away but I'll be going there to do Christmas shopping next weekend anyway. Thanks for the help ladies!

Give me tonight to look through my jewerly box. I "might" have a small silver one that I never used & it is yours for the asking.
That is If I didn't throw it away in one of my cleaning pruges.

Thanks so much! Just let me know if you come across it.
