about 6 weeks
Mine closed in about an hour, so depending on what you're wanting to take it out for, just watch the time.
6 weeks :)
it varies from person to person. normally anywhere between 6 weeks - 4 months. If you just want to change the earring, i took mine out after 2 weeks and put another in with no troubles.
Well, It really depends how long you had it for. If you had it for 8-12 weeks, you can take it out for about.. Give or take an hour. But if you take it out before its done healing the hole can shrink or close instantly! Also, after the healing time (8-12 Weeks) You should change the earring or leave it in, (doesn't matter) for the Whole year (365 Days,52 Weeks) until its FULLY Healed!
You should leave an earring in until the lobe is no longer reddened or crusty/infected. You should wear an earring frequently for a while after...
Take it back to the shop

It really depends on the quality of the earing an if u wear it like in shower or not if u do it won't take long at all

Funny you ask this question as i was just thinking about it the day regarding a ring. well the answer to this question is either, im sorry the earring is gone or you have a chance of getting it back. Firstly, was the water running when it dropped into the sink and for how long? if long then give up now and go buy new earrings. if not too long or you didn't run the water at all you may be in luck somehow. This now depends on the set-up under your sink. if no water or a small amount of water went into the sink along with your earring then chances are the earring is sitting inside the sink trap. you need to take this trap off and retrieve your earring. if you have a black rubber type trap you can unscrew the two clamps holding it on and take the earring out or if you have a bottle trap then the cylinder can unscrew and then take the earring out. If nothing is found then the earring is gone, into the sewer and gone forever
Cartilage piercings never close the surface tissue may shrink to obscure the opening but the hole in the cartilage is life long and will never heal up.
