How soon after an earlobe piercing can you start changing the jewelry? (slrpnk.net)

The recommendations I’ve seen have varied wildly from 6 weeks to 6 months. The obvious answer is “once it’s healed enough”, but I am not sure how to judge that. I got my lobes pierced about a month ago, and I’m eager to upgrade from the simple silver studs! But I also don’t want to risk damaging the healing process and making the piercing angry.

Any advice is appreciated 😊

I went with plain gold rings immediately after piercing. The advice was to swab my lobes twice daily with alcohol, turning the rings then and only then. They healed pretty quickly with no fuss. I've pretty much stuck to pure gold rings since - turns out I'm allergic to nickel, very common metal for stud posts and keepers.
