How to Wear an Ear Cuff Without Piercings

Ear cuffs are one of the easiest ways to create a layered jewelry look—and you don't need an extra piercing to wear one.

What is an ear cuff?

An ear cuff wraps around or clips onto the outer edge of your ear without requiring a piercing. Styles range from minimal bands to crystal-set and statement designs.

How to put on an ear cuff

1. Gently open the cuff only if the design is adjustable.
2. Slide it onto the thinnest part of your upper ear.
3. Move it down to the position that feels most secure and comfortable.
4. Gently squeeze an adjustable cuff until it feels snug, never tight.

How to style ear cuffs

• Pair one cuff with small studs on the same ear for a layered look.
• Wear one on each ear for a balanced statement.
• Mix gold and silver finishes to add contrast and dimension.
