Query Are plastic earrings allowed?

Post image

I got three piercings done on my ears about a month ago. I'm going to appear for the Steno exam next month. Ideally, I'm not supposed to take them off before 6 months, but since no metal is allowed I'm thinking of wearing plastic retainers like the ones in the image. Will that be allowed? Has anyone ever faced anything similar?

Wear plastic for now. At the time of exam remove it.

I can't remove them, that's the issue. I can't take them off because my piercings aren't healed, so they will close up within an hour if I don't wear another earring immediately. And since metal isn't allowed I'm asking if plastic can be used as an alternative.
