D'Errico Jewelry's Superb Ear Piercing Quality, Safety, Style
Ear piercing is an art and a science. D'Errico Jewelry is the most trusted place in Westchester to go for familes, adults and children alike
Earrings are an essential element of anyone's jewelry wardrobe. But getting piercings done right means finding someone who understands the full stylistic, health and design factors behind the practice. Just
finding someone who will do ear piercing for a child is often a challenge. And even fewer comprehend the importance of properly placing the piercings and doing them in the most comfortable way possible.
D'Errico Jewelry regards ear piercing as an essential part of its Westchester County fine jewelry business. Richard D'Errico, the company's co-founder and owner, has pierced untold thousands of clients aging
from a few months to many decades.He follows some basic rules that come out of D'Errico Jewelry's fundamental business approach.
“At D'Errico Jewelry, we see ourselves as jewelry tailors. We fit every piece we sell to our customers in terms of size, shape, color and style. That goes for ear piercing as well.

D'Errico Jewelry is not a jewelry store. As a fine jeweler, it must adhere to extremely strict standards and practices. Richard had the following pointers when it comes to piercing:
1. Marking is everything. Make sure your piercings are placed exactly where they need to go. Even small mistakes in positioning can distort a piece's look and blunt its style.

2. Quality equipment is essential. D'Errico works with an advanced, pre-sanitized disposable earring “gun” that can be used only once, keeping things safe and healthy.
3. Two guns are better than one. Having two people shoot the earring gun at once increases accuracy and reduces discomfort.
4. Cleanliness is crucial. All skin surfaces are carefully swabbed with alcohol.
5. Patience is important. It's good to take a few minutes positioning your marks – and even better to understand that the complete healing process for piercings can take weeks. There is one other step that applies only to younger people. No piercing without permission. Youths under 18 must either be accompanied by an adult or be able to call one up and put them on the phone.
“There are no short cuts to success in the jewelry world. If people leave any of these steps out, choose
someone who is willing to do the work,” Richard says.
D'Errico Jewelry's stores are located at 159 East Main Street in Mount Kisco, NY, 914-864-2688, and at 509 Central Park Avenue in Scarsdale, NY, 914-722-1940. More information can also be found at
