Cuffs, single earrings, climbers...Top 5 trends in the world of earrings

Cuffs

This is a fashionable alternative to clip-on clips. Cuffs in the form of a half-open bracelet seem to “hug” the auricle, allowing you to wear them without piercings. The most extravagant options can take the form of wings, feathers or vines. But mini versions are especially relevant, somewhat reminiscent of small rings. Many jewelry stores offer combination items, such as a cuff + stud earring, connected by a chain.

History of cuffs

The origin of this unusual decoration goes back to the times of Ancient India. Even in a modern bride's wedding dress, you can notice cuffs. In the 18th century, cuffs were worn by members of the imperial family, so as not to burden their earlobes with heavy jewelry with a large number of precious stones. Throughout the 20th century, ear cuffs were very popular. Changing fashion gave priority only to the forms of cuffs, leaving the jewelry itself at the peak of popularity throughout the entire time. However, these decorations were not widespread in the Soviet Union, so in Russia cuffs can be considered a completely new fashion trend.

"Crawlers"/"climbers"

These complex names hide very simple and pretty earrings-reversals. They come from the English words crawl and climb. Indeed, like little snakes, such earrings rise up the shell of the ear. They are attached in two places: on the earlobe - with a nail, and with a kafom on the upper cartilage, or with a long pressing loop on the back of the ear.

Pendants

Many people watched films from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Pendants on girls were very popular back then. These are elongated earrings, they can be very long, or they can be short, they can also be voluminous and not very voluminous. They always add elegance to a woman. The main thing is to choose the right decoration. For example, long earrings can visually make your face look thinner. But voluminous and short ones are the opposite. If you want something exclusive, you can make any product to order. And then at any party you will stand out with the exquisite jewelry.

“Front to back” or double-sided earrings

Not so long ago, the famous variety of such earrings rose to the Olympus of popularity - ball studs from Dior. There are other options, no less bright and stylish, that function in accordance with their name. The front earring is attached to the back one, which is always larger than the first one!

Clusters (bunches)

What is the name of an ear piece with a clasp like studs, but the front side consists of a row of stones, perhaps in a cluster? These are clusters. The stones of this jewelry can be of different shapes and sizes. Also, stones can be of different colors. The cut is large or small, it all depends on your preferences. Sometimes clusters may contain pendant elements. What is a bunch? An association arises with grapes, this is approximately what they look like.

Ear cartilage piercing. What is it and how to choose jewelry?

From a physiological point of view, the entire outer ear is solid cartilage, except for the lobe. Therefore, when we say “get a piercing”, this means making a puncture in any part of the cartilage. In many countries, it is believed that a piercing in the ears on the lobes is a piercing. But we differentiate these concepts.

What jewelry for ear piercing is better to choose? It all depends on your wishes and preferences. Will you make a new piercing or insert an earring into an old one? Decoration can be of absolutely any shape and size. If you wish, you can buy an inexpensive product; if you don’t like it, just don’t wear it.

If you are doing a puncture for the first time, then you need to be vigilant and careful. Carefully select the salon and material for the earrings. It is better, of course, if it is medical gold or ordinary gold; titanium is also suitable.

Ear cartilage jewelry is a great product to be worn by both women and men. It all depends on the product itself and the puncture location. Earrings can create a light, delicate, romantic look. Therefore, they are suitable for girls of different ages and emphasize femininity. But on the other hand, this decoration can be very brutal in nature. There are many types of cartilage piercings, but there are even more types of jewelry. Therefore, you can create completely different images to suit everyone’s liking.

There are such types of punctures as helix, antitragus, dos, hands and others.

Cuffs are an original and stylish decoration

We will also consider another unusual ear decoration – cuffs. They look like earrings that cover almost the entire ear, starting from the earlobe and ending with the top of the cartilage. Cuffs can be combined with earrings, or can be an independent element. From this it follows that cuffs are a beautiful decoration for ear cartilage. The versatility of the earrings lies in the fact that there are clip-on models. That is, you do not need to have your ear pierced to wear such jewelry. After all, not everyone wants to get their ears pierced, but everyone wants to look beautiful and interesting. These types of ear jewelry without piercings are constantly changing. Almost every season you can see something new. Various colors, with and without stones, different sizes - all these are the characteristics of cuffs. You can often find women with jewelry all over their ears, but there are also lovers of minimalism.

Earrings rings. Description of decoration

Hoop earrings are perhaps one of the most popular ear jewelry. Most likely, this type of earring was invented first. Rings can be different, both small and large, reaching almost to the shoulders. The earrings may have inclusions or stones, but the main thing here is the shape. There are rings in the shape of a crescent. The material is also varied. These can be precious metals such as gold, silver, medical gold or simply metal. Women in ancient times were inventive; earrings could be made from small twigs, wood, and later from metals.
