I had a friend who worked in a very high end jewellers ( Prestons of Bolton,now closed )and like she once said to me, when people are paying thousands for very expensive earrings then they certainly expect to try them on. Even their cheaper earrings which still cost hundreds were available to try but she emphasized that once tried they always cleaned them afterwards. She said they left the tried on earrings in a leather tray and once the customer had gone they cleaned them and returned them to the display stands.
I can believe what she said because I once bought a ring from there and I tried on several but the woman serving me wiped every ring with a polishing cloth before handing it to me and then wiped them again as she put rings back on the pad.
As other people have said it would be impossible to prove the earrings caused this woman`s sore ear and a reaction to the metal, dirty fingers, catching the hole with the earring or her simply being run down or off colour could cause such a thing. I daren`t sleep in earrings even expensive earrings because overnight my ear lobes become sore even with gold or platinum earrings so I only wear mine during the day and then remove them at night. Maybe the lady in question had a similar reaction ?
