To sign "earrings," form an 'F' handshape with your dominant hand by pinching your index finger and thumb together while leaving your other fingers extended. Bring your pinched fingers up to your earlobe. Gently pinch the earlobe and give it a slight wiggle or downward tug. This motion perfectly mimics holding or showing off a dangling earring.
Point to the person, sign 'love' by crossing your arms over your chest, sign 'new,' and then sign 'earrings' by pinching your earlobe with an 'F' handshape.
Sign 'I,' 'need,' 'buy,' 'silver' (pointing to your ear and shaking an 'S' handshape downward), and finally 'earrings' at your earlobe.
Sign 'my,' 'earrings,' and then 'where' by shaking your index finger side to side, remembering to furrow your eyebrows since it is a WH-question.

No, signing it on just your dominant side is standard and can mean either a single earring or a pair. The context of your conversation will clarify the quantity.
No, this sign is specifically for earlobe earrings. For a nose ring, you would use a similar pinched handshape but place it at your nostril to show exactly where the jewelry is located.
You can still use this standard sign! However, if you want to be very descriptive, you can pinch your earlobe and hold it still without the wiggling motion to emphasize a stationary stud.
