It seems like every few months, I have to rotate my earring collection, as my pairs will sneakily go missing. I’ll lose an earring backing first; then one from each pair will somehow get lost in the mess of my jewelry stand until finally I give up trying to find the missing pieces and purchase a new pair. Sound at all familiar?
