How awful.
My name is Morgane, I was 15, and my boarding school roommate, Carline (if you ever read this, I send you a kiss), used to make spiral ear stretchers out of polymer clay at home on weekends. She sold them to me for 2 euros. I was young and wasn't allowed piercings or tattoos. This stretch was my first body modification without my parents' permission. And I messed it up completely!
And then, once it was done, what was I supposed to do?
Well, all the girls I followed on... Skyblog (yeah, I'm a '92 baby), they all had the same thing: silver tunnels. Very simple. Simple but effective.
And they suited me.
Until the day I no longer recognized myself with them..
Money didn't suit me when I became an adult.
I wanted to be chic. It started with the gold rings covering my fingers, then the necklaces... AND there was that damn silver tunnel that I had now stretched to 19mm. It was ugly. Not at all in line with what I wanted to reflect: chic. Class. But never conforming to standards.
So I searched. I rummaged. I wanted beautiful jewelry for my stretched ears, gold-colored ONLY. And then I just couldn't find any.
I lamented for a while and then I started making them at home, a few pairs here and there for my sister's wedding, then my father's, then a pair to go to work...
And here I am today. Because I can't be the only one who searched for hours on every possible website, before settling for a super simple gold-colored tunnel that's not at all feminine...
And for me too,
A little to reassure the young woman I used to be, who didn't want to keep masculine jewelry but couldn't find an alternative;
For those who want to maintain their femininity through their gauges,
For those for whom wearing gold and silver has real meaning,
