Today no photos of my many earrings. Some were gold, some were store bought, but yes I had my ears pierced to wear earrings. I was then already in Switzerland, living in Zürich and beginning to find my way in another country on my own. I entered the store and asked if they pierced ears. No problem it seemed so I sat in a chair and chose my earrings. The guy held my ear and pierced the lobe with the earring – no problem, and quite simple. It was all over in a few minutes and my ears each had a hole in them. Then I was about 20 years old, today I am 80.

It was long ago, and I always wore various earrings until about 20 years ago. I stopped, do not know why, just probably found I no longer wanted them. I gave all my earrings to my daughter-in-law.
