    I sell mostly at art shows. I've noticed other dealers allowing
    customers to try on pierced earrings then putting them back up for
    sale once the customer is through with it. I have never been
    confronted with a request from a customer to try on pierced earrings.
    I searched the Colorado Dept. of Health and they have rules for body
    art and piercing studios that the jewelry must be new or sterilized.
    Personally it creeps me out the thought of putting in a pierced
    earring that has been in someone else's ear. 

    Is there laws pertaining to jewelry sold in brick and mortar stores
    and/or art and craft shows? How do you handle a customer request to
    try on pierced earrings or any other body jewelry for that matter? 

    Thanks in advance and in the past for all of your sage and valuable
    advice. 

    Peace, love, and hammering metal!
