COSPLAY Ear Jewlery for Faye Valentine

Hello Cowboy Bebop Fans,

I'm working on a Faye Valentine cosplay right now and I'm stuck on what to do for earrings.

Faye doesn't seem to wear any in the show. However I have visibly stretched earlobes (size 12mm) and wear plugs. Looking for a good idea as to what kind of jewelry would be best for the look.

I know that flesh tone "hider plugs" are a thing but I'm not a big fan of them. I love small details in a costume and I'm looking for something that would match her iconic outfit well and/or reference the show directly.

No dangle earrings for safety. I will be doing some intensive dancing in costume.

Could you perhaps find some plugs that look like casino chips? Or even make some or have some made to look like the chips in the casino episode? I don't know jewellery so I don't know what's possible, just a thought.

Since Faye doesn’t really have signature earrings, I’d lean into subtle color matching. Maybe low profile plugs with the same yellow/gold tone as her outfit hardware, or red gems to match the jacket accents. Tiny spaceship or cassette themed plugs could also fit the vibe without looking too cosplay-store obvious.

“I will be doing some intensive dancing in costume.”

…tell us more… so we can help answer your OP that is.

Since she doesn’t wear earrings in canon, I’d lean into something subtle that looks intentional with the outfit. Maybe matte black or dark red plugs with a tiny yellow accent to match the suit. Could even do a minimalist spaceship/star motif etched on them so it still feels Bebop-themed without being too loud.
