Cuffs are ear­rings that are attached not only to the lobe, but along the entire length of the auri­cle, some­times with­out the need to be insert­ed into the punc­ture hole.

This acces­so­ry was pop­u­lar in ancient Greece, ancient Rome, India and Thai­land — both among women and men — at hol­i­days, impor­tant cer­e­monies and offi­cial events. He tes­ti­fied to a high social sta­tus, author­i­ty and wealth. We will talk about how to wear cuffs fash­ion­able today and how to prop­er­ly care for them in this arti­cle.

How to wear ear cuffs?

The answer to this ques­tion depends on the design of the jew­el­ry and the own­er’s imag­i­na­tion — in the mid­dle of the ear, at the very top, or in sev­er­al places on the sink.

It is bet­ter to put on ear guards, hav­ing a short hair­cut or hav­ing a high hair­style, oth­er­wise they will not be vis­i­ble behind long hair.

Cuffs are worn on one ear or on two?

• Min­i­mal­ist line ear­rings with­out gem­stone inlays are suit­able for busi­ness and every­day looks. Due to their light weight and lack of decor, they are com­fort­able to wear on two ears, even to the office. They look ele­gant, do not cling to clothes and hair.

• A sin­gle mas­sive ear­ring with a stone in the form of a cuff in one ear, and in the sec­ond — a stud (car­na­tion) looks orig­i­nal with an asym­met­ri­cal hair­cut, Hol­ly­wood curls laid on one side and an evening dress with bare shoul­ders.

• Cuffs with inserts of unusu­al ele­ments. The trend is eth­nic and boho style — plant and ani­mal motifs, such as the head of a lion, eagle, snake or pea­cock tail. They are also cus­tom­ary to wear only on one side, usu­al­ly on the left. Among bik­ers, rock­ers, emmu and punks, spikes and skulls are pop­u­lar.

• With one or more chains that smooth­ly pass into hair acces­sories and allow you to cre­ate a wed­ding or evening volu­mi­nous hair­style.

• Ear cuffs are worn in the mid­dle of the ear shell. There is no need to pierce the hole, since the cuff of a spe­cial shape is attached to the edges of the sink. These mod­els are suit­able for teenage, sports and casu­al style.

What can be worn with cuffs?

• With glass­es — with ordi­nary and from the sun.

• With dress­es with a deep neck­line or bare shoul­ders.

• Bulky scarves, stoles and scarves around the neck.

• With wire­less head­phones.

How to properly care for cuffs?

Due to the open­work design and bizarre shapes, the cor­ners of such prod­ucts are always dirty. As a result, they fade. To pre­vent heavy soil­ing, it is nec­es­sary to remove the ear­rings before show­er­ing, sleep­ing, clean­ing, exer­cis­ing and hid­ing them in a jew­el­ry box. This is nec­es­sary to com­plete­ly exclude con­tact with dust, air, mois­ture, chem­i­cals, house­hold, per­fumery and cos­met­ics.

Each time before putting on cuff ear­rings, it is nec­es­sary to check their integri­ty and clean­li­ness. They need to be cleaned month­ly.

The most effec­tive and cheap­est way is soak­ing for 2–3 hours in a solu­tion of warm water with liq­uid soap, ammo­nia. But with a high degree of con­t­a­m­i­na­tion, the prod­uct can be kept longer. Then you need to remove the jew­el­ry and rinse thor­ough­ly under run­ning water. After that, dry and pol­ish to a shine with a soft microfiber cloth.
