The Ultimate Buying Guide for Ear Cuff Earrings

Here is our complete guide to understanding, wearing, and styling our collection of costume ear cuffs.

How do ear cuffs work and what are they?
An ear cuff is a type of jewellery that encircles the outer edge of your ear cartilage. Unlike regular studs or danglers, many ear cuffs don’t even require a piercing. Their natural form makes them nestle comfortably in your ear, making them a fantastic, pain-free way to add instant glamour.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Wearing Cuff Earrings
If you’ve never done it before, wearing an ear cuff can seem difficult. Here’s how to do it safely:

• Put it on the thinnest part: First pull your ear cartilage at the top, just a bit tight. Position the opening of the ear cuff over the thinnest part of the upper cartilage.
• Slide and Position: Place the cuff down the outside edge of your ear, gently, to the point where it comfortably sits in the groove right above your earlobe, or wherever the design is meant to sit.
• Pinch to Secure: Gently squeeze the cuff to close the gap and fit it snugly but comfortably around your ear. It ought to be safe. It ought not to hurt.

Ear cuffs with holes vs. ear cuffs without holes

When you go to Swadeshi Basket to buy ear cuffs, you will see two main types of structures:

Wrap-around cuffs that don't have holes in them
These are the classic cuffs that cause no trouble. They are C shaped and they hold the cartilage by tension only. These are great for women who like their ears to look decorated but have no piercings.

Earrings with ear cuffs for pierced ears
Many elaborate designs are fashioned as earrings with ear cuffs for added security and a more dramatic appearance. The standard post goes through your regular lobe piercing and the top part of the earring goes up and around the cartilage. This double anchor design is perfect for statement pieces with a lot of embellishments and are heavy.

Gold Bands with Few Details
If you’re a fan of understated, everyday style, our faux gold ear cuff earrings are a must-have. Sport these simple sleek bands along your ear with your regular gold studs or hoops for a trendy put together look that works well for work or school.

Sweepers with Flowers and Vines
Designs inspired by nature are very popular. These cuffs have cute metal vines, leaves and flowers that follow the curve of the ear wonderfully. They are very feminine and add a soft romantic touch to western dresses as well as fusion wear.

Ethnic Temple Ear Cuffs
Ethnic temple cuffs are inspired by the ancient carvings of the Sanatani temples and Indian traditional artwork. They are detailed with filigree work, oxidised finishes and good luck symbols like lotuses or peacocks. They are a beautiful way to wear an upto date piece of jewellery and still be deeply connected to Hindu culture.

When to Wear Ear Cuffs

Ear cuffs are the best accessory that goes with everything. Here are some ideas for how to wear them for different occasions:

• Western Party Wear: Wear a sleek black dress with a crystal ear cuff that sparkles. It gives an unexpected edge that regular danglers can't match.
• Indo-Western Fusion: A crop top with a lehenga skirt or a pre-draped saree? An ethnic temple ear cuff is the perfect modern accessory that connects the old and the new.
• Casual Every Day: Put on a simple Costume gold band cuff with your jeans and t-shirt to make a basic outfit look "styled."

Keeping Your Costume Ear Cuffs Grippy and Shiny

Ear cuffs need to be adjusted a little bit to fit your ear, so Costume jewellery that looks like ear cuffs needs special care to last:

• Don't let the metal get too tired: you'll need to give the cuff a squeeze now and again to keep it in place but try not to bend the metal back and forth too much. Make small gentle changes to keep the base metal from breaking.
• Stay Away from Chemicals: Like all other costume jewellery, the plating on your ear cuffs is sensitive to chemicals. Before you put on your ear cuffs, apply your hair gel, hairspray and perfumes.
• How to Store: Store your ear cuffs in a hard-shelled jewellery box or a zip-lock bag that keeps air out. These are often curved and stiff , so if you just chuck them in a drawer without a care , they can break or get out of shape .
