Whether we got our ears pierced as an infant or braved the needle at a later age, earrings have had a standing presence in many our jewelry boxes. However, for those without pierced ears, the options can be great (hello, clip-ons!) but limited. That being said, there’s a new jewelry trend that doesn’t require a piercing at all, on your lobes or elsewhere: ear cuff earrings.
Whether you have your earlobes pierced or not, an ear cuff is an easy way to add more baubles to your look without the commitment of a punctured hole. Plus, with the number of options—from dainty and minimal cuffs for everyday wear to more statement-making pieces for special occasions—there’s a cuff that’ll suit you and your personal style.
