What should be tested before wearing heavy earrings for a long ceremony?

Direct answer
Test the earrings' comfort, fastening security and movement before deciding to wear them for a long ceremony.
Try the actual pair rather than judging a lighter display sample, and check whether it catches the dupatta or pulls uncomfortably. Ask a jeweller about suitable support or a lighter alternative; do not improvise a painful attachment. Stop wearing pieces that cause irritation and seek medical advice if symptoms persist. Weight and metal sensitivity are separate concerns, and a costly pair is not automatically comfortable.
