In the movie Mongol, Jamhuka sports a nifty silver (I imagine) "earring". Help me find one so I too can look cool. [more inside]

After my ears healed enough to take the training studs out, I switched to cute little hypoallergenic studs of unknown silver metal, from Clair’s. However, they still have to be left in overnight, and one day when I was taking them out, instead of the usual light flaking of a new piercing I discovered black crumbly crud. Is this the dreaded tarnish that dyes your ear? The earrings themselves are still perfect, with no blemishes to the part that goes in the hole, but the holes are now dark and still shed lightly.

My pedestal bathroom sink has unstuck itself from the wall (following an earring-retrieval-from-the-drain adventure). There used to be a hinge of caulking that steadied it, but that hinge broke during the earring retrieval, and the screws that hold the sink to the wall often slip through, making leaning on the sink dangerous. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty handy. Can I just peel off the old cauking and recaulk?
