Why You Should Never Try On Earrings Before You Buy Them

At TGQ, we love helping you find the perfect pair of earrings to match your style, but there’s one important thing we always remind our community: earrings are never something you should try on before buying.

Here’s why 👇

Hygiene Matters

Earrings touch freshly pierced or healed skin, making them one of the most personal accessories you can own. Trying them on before purchasing exposes you (and others) to bacteria, and no one wants to risk an ear infection for fashion.

Sensitive Piercings = Extra Care

Even if you don’t have allergies, ears are delicate. Sharing earrings—even briefly—can cause irritation or painful reactions. Protecting your piercings keeps them healthy.

Protecting Our TGQnity

When earrings are tried on, they often can’t be resold. By keeping everything sealed until purchase, we can make sure every TGQ piece you take home is brand new, untouched, and just for you.

Safe Alternatives

Want to see how a style looks before committing? Hold the earring up next to your ear (without inserting it) or check it out on one of our display cards or mannequin stands in-store. You’ll still get the look — without the risk.

✨ Bottom line: Skipping the “try-on” keeps you safe, protects our TGQnity, and ensures every pair of earrings remains 100% yours from the very first wear.
