Well, this is an interesting thought.
I don't think I've seen earrings of this design.
Blessings.

[MENTION=41474]farouk[/MENTION] Sorry! (and both of us mods :naughty )... We'll get back on topic! 
As for piercings, I've had my ears pierced, repierced and repierced again, but my right ear will always seem to get "weepy" and then, when I take out the rings to clear it up, the hole quickly heals over. So, I don't wear pierced earrings.... which is a shame for me, because my husband gave me a set of sapphire earrings to match my wedding ring (sapphire ringed with small diamonds) for our 5th anniversary and I would dearly love to wear them.
However, since I tend to have problems with my right ear being pierced, I think... when we get some extra money... I am going to have the earrings reset into a necklace and then add my kid's birthstones as a family setting.

Well, this does sound like a nice, memorable design idea, with family significance to you!
Sounds like you are triple or quadruple pierced, anyway; like, 3 or 4 in a row is often regarded as fashionable (unless you meant the same hole re-done over and over).
Blessings.

They do have them. I think paired with other clearly Christian jewlery, art, etc... they could be a springboard for some interesting conversation since now most people associate the upside down cross with the anti-christ.

Well, interesting; I hadn't seen them, anyway.
I guess for those who wear them in this style, with greatly differing meanings available, the motivation for wearing them may vary greatly from one person to another, as well...
Blessings.

Yes, for many women for decades now, having just one hole each side is a thing of the past, so often.
(Sorry about the problems with them that you said you had, though.)
God bless you guys.

Yep, I did a long time ago. Remember, I pierced my own and two of my daughters first holes. Ice and sterile needle.

[MENTION=93058]Deborah13[/MENTION]: Oops, sorry!
Sterile needle at home was often the method years ago, anyway. Now it seems the mall kiosk or the parlor is often preferred. Sounds almost like you and your daughters did your first holes at around the same time.
Blessings.

No I did mine in my early twenties, their's much later when they turned around 13. Each in her own order...

I see; well it was more of an adult thing with you, then; but yes it became very much a teenaged girl thing and still is, of course.
Then about 30 - 35 years ago it became kind of almost obligatory for teenaged girls to want double sets of holes put in (soon their moms and grammas were doing it, too!)
Fashion history can be interesting, anyway.

PS: [MENTION=93058]Deborah13[/MENTION]: Mind you, some people say that the double- (or more) pierced ears look is dated, but I'm not sure; I think it's definitely here to stay, and has been established for so long.
Though I do think also that the sheer simplicity of the single stud in the centre of each lobe is kind of classic and almost timeless, really, if this makes sense...

Yes, I just asked Lexy about the other girls. The oldest has one in one ear and two in the other, gold studs and one diamond chip, the middle one only has one in each ear and Lexy has one in one ear and two in the other.
And my son doesn't have any.

@Deborah13 :
Say hi to Lexy; I guess she's done getting more holes now!
Yes, the asymmetrical ear piercing look arrangement is quite popular with some women, isn't it?
And re. your son: of course, young men do it too, a lot. (So would you have let him have it done if he had wanted it when he was younger, maybe?)
Fashion history can be interesting.

[MENTION=41474]farouk[/MENTION] , I think so but I really don't know how I would have felt about it then. I don't think it's a big deal. But where I live, in those days, no males had earrings that I know of.
