I pierced my ears a while ago have have been showing up at work with earrings ever since. Progressed from the small studs which came with the piercing to hoops now that have some clearance between the ring and the bottom lobe of my ears.
What I have noticed is how wonderful it feels to have the weight of the earrings give a gentle tug on my ears. Sitting here in Starbucks on a Saturday the hoops are a bit bigger. Totally independant of how they look (which I also enjoy very much), I just love the feel!
