Since then, Erika tells TMZ, she's sold over &lt;strong&gt;1,300 PAIRS&lt;/strong&gt;! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erika tells us she received orders almost immediately from all over the world -- England, Switzerland, Chile, and Argentina ... with her biggest order coming from London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The earrings currently sell for $32 a pair -- so if our math is correct ... that's like, a ton of money."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
