What to look for in local shops when looking for jewelry

My piercing is approaching healed, and I'd like to find some cute, masc earrings. The piercing studio has some, obviously, but if I wanted to go elsewhere what should I be looking for? Should I be hitting up standard jewelers? Boutiques?

My personal jeweler list, most of these are silver cause thats what I like: Alicia Hannah Naomi (https://aliciahannahnaomi.com/en-us) Node by Kudo Shuji (https://node-bykudoshuji.com/en-us) Werkstatt-München (https://world.werkstatt-muenchen.com/) Jill Platner (https://jillplatner.com/) Good Art (https://www.goodart.com/) Neff Goldsmith (http://chrisneffgoldsmith.com/main.html) The Great Frog (https://www.thegreatfroglondon.com/us/) Self Edge (https://www.selfedge.com/jewelry) Eshkaton (https://eskhaton.com.au/shop) honestly i just wear basic hammered white gold earrings on titanium posts i got from my piercer, so if you want something simple definitely check local jewelery stores as well keep in mind its generally not recommended to sleep in earrings that can catch on things if you go that route also https://dieworkwear.com/2018/06/20/the-controversial-issue-of-men-jewelry/ has some recs and general derek guy thoughts silver will tarnish if showered in, gold/platinum/titanium I believe should not
