How to Make a Fake Ear Piercing

If you want to try out the look of an ear piercing but are not sure you want to commit to the actual procedure, a captive bead ring without the bead can help you fake the look. Captive bead rings are C-shaped rings that hold a small indented bead in the opening. When you remove the bead as if to insert the jewelry in a piercing, you are left with a ring that you can slide onto your ear to fake a piercing
