Description
Cuff earrings are jewelry that is worn around either ear’s outer edge. They wrap around the cartilage and are a great alternative for people who don’t like studs and dangly earrings. This trend is here to stay and these non-pierced cuffs are made from high quality Copper. Not only do they look beautiful, they’re more durable than costume jewelry pieces, so you’ll want to wear every day for years to come.
MEASUREMENTS:
- Large Swirl: 12 mm x 12 mm
- Small Swirl: 6 mm x 6 mm
- Total Length: 2 cm
- * Ear NOT included. (Vincent wants it back! 😉)
How to Wear Ear Cuffs:
The hardest part about wearing an ear cuff is figuring out how to put one on. If you don’t put it on correctly, the cuff can be uncomfortable, or not fit correctly and fall off. To avoid this, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to wear an ear cuff:
- Begin by standing in front of a mirror and holding the ear cuff parallel to your ear.
- Slip the cuff on the thinnest part of your ear, which is usually at the top. It can help to pull the cartilege flat
- Slide it the cuff down and rotate towards your inner ear to adjust to where it sits comfortably and securely.
- The ear cuff should securely hug your ear and feel comfortable.
- You’ll know that it’s the right size when you can gently tug on it, and it doesn’t come off.
- If needed, make subtle adjustments by hand, e.g. squeeze the opening gently to make it tighter, or pull the opening apart to make it looser. Be careful to avoid misshaping the cuff or injuring your ear.
- Because ear cuffs aren’t attached to the body in the same way as piercings, I recommend taking them out when sleeping, showering, and/or swimming. This ensures they aren’t lost and also that they maintain that same beautiful shine when they are worn.
NOTE: The average ear cuff insertion gap is approximately 3.5mm – 5mm wide, depending on where on the ear it is going to be worn and the size of the wearer’s ear.
