I am looking at having a magical earring or set of earrings made and I am curious as to whether they/it will count against finger rings. Does anyone know?
My ruleing would be that they use the no slot rule. Thus making them cost more.
I agree they should be slotless.
Maybe you can lower the price a bit by adding the caveat that they both together count as one magic item, and that you need to wear both to get the effect?
Or just have them use a different slot. Ring, headband, or amulet make sense.
Our GM made it a common slot like any other, up to two earrings. We also, as a joke, have a cod piece. I don't remember if we have magical pants, I'm pretty sure someone does.
Either way, ask your GM. Best case scenario, it's a regular slot. worst case, he doesn't allow it period. Middle ground is slotless.

Have it take up the "eyes" slot. See here for a list of available magic item slots.
That said, my DM did give us sets of 'slotless' earrings, so either possibility works.
Was it the Shiving Isles for Elder Scrolls Oblivion that had a quest related to a magic item called "Calming Pants" ?

I have seen third-party magic earrings that use the headband slot:
The Captain's Horn
But they are third party, no official. My suggestion is one of the following:
Headband: headbands and phylacteries.
Head: circlets, crowns, hats, helms, and masks.
Eyes: eyes, glasses, and goggles.
Neck: amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts, and scarabs.
or slotless
I know that the slots are no longer tied to certain bonuses, but I would check out what types of items sit in each and plan the earrings to match (for the thematic idea). Thus a set of earrings that grant perform bonuses (for example) might fit in the head slot (since there are other items there the buff charisma). This also helps to keep balance.
