I made this quick video to show you how to put on, wear and preserve your pull-through style earrings. CMD has several pull-through designs, and I always get asked how to best put them on. Most people's first inclination is to pull the ends apart, which will warp your earring [...]

I honor each and every one of those selfless people [...]
