There is still someone to whom, when I talk about earcuffs , they look at me with a “ what? ”. And when I show them what we are talking about, then yes: “I know them! And I love them!!” .
But, fortunately, they are already fewer. Most of them are already very clear about what earcuffs are and, above all, that they are what is needed to round off an earlook.
Today I am here to tell you that if you are not yet a total fan of earcuffs, you have time to join us.
And if you already are, you will see what more interesting recommendations I leave you a little below. Do you want to see them?
Are earcuffs new? No! A classic adapted
It is not a new type of earring. Today's earcuffs are a modern take on an old fashioned earlobe ornament.
The first is said to date from the year 2000 BC. C. It was a type of earring called a Kaffa , designed to be placed hugging the outer edge of the ear.
The Kaffa could be made of any material. From brass to precious metals, with stones and pearls, for high-class women and money to pay goldsmiths.
Some designs were so intricate that they ran up the ear to the hairline. Pure fantasy.
Throughout history there have been different versions of the Kaffa, since from the beginning it was a very practical type of ornament.
Fortunately it was not lost over the centuries. Thanks to that today we can enjoy them.
Global trend: earcuffs , imagination even in the ears
In the 20th century, a French jeweler named Marcel Boucher took notice of that old earring, gave it a finer shape and popularized it among French women.
In addition, he created his own version: earrite earrings, an earring that was attached like a clip, from the top of the ear to the lobe, invisibly.
Then it makes the leap to New York and from there it comes to you. Because surely you have an earcuff next to your earrings, right?
Surely you have noticed many times how currados are the earlooks of the influencers of the world of fashion . There are spectacular compositions.
In addition, it is a top trend to pay attention to the ears and give them the place they deserve. To begin with, removing the hair so that you can appreciate all the care we put into improving our look.
Because the possibilities that earcuffs give you are… endless. Especially for a small great detail: you don't need to pierce your ear to put them on.
They are earrings that are placed on the cartilage and are adjusted with a slight pressure . Easier, impossible. So if you don't like piercings or you prefer not to get more than the ones you already have, this is your solution to continue enjoying the latest in jewelry.
You can wear what you want and how you want. One or more. Simple or combined… Earcuffs have no rules. You just have to stand in front of the mirror and get inspired. What do you want to wear for today?
And today why do we fall in love with earcuffs?
The best thing is this: No piercing required! As I told you, that is their main advantage and what makes them so interesting and so versatile.
They had a heyday in the 20th century, when in the 1980s and 1990s wearing ears adorned with jewelry of all kinds, with or without piercing, became the image of rebellion. And if not, just remember the punk movement and its devotion to full metal ears.
Today we have updated options. You have a lot of earcuffs to choose from, and the rest is up to your inspiration to combine different earrings. From the simplest hoops, to earrings that go up the earlobe with very imaginative shapes.
I leave you some suggestions.
You can put on a simple hoop, like these Punk Gold earcuffs . And from there, you can always go further.
How about a double earring, how about Twin Gold cufflinks ?

To place them you just have to open the piece a little. Subtly and if necessary to place it in the ear. Sometimes not even that. It is enough that you put it in the thinnest part of the ear and then slide it until it is in the exact place, where you like it best.
If you find yourself comfortable, I encourage you to try more. I'm sure you'll also like the triple earrings, like the Barocco Gold earcuff . And an earcuff version for the thinnest part of your ear, the Hari Gold , very easy to combine with other models.
Another of the wonders of earcuffs is that they are very light, which allows for more complex designs. The Ivy Flower earcuffs are a fantasy. Or if you prefer a simpler version, you have the Ivi Balls earcuff .
Those of you who have a pierced earlobe can also try the most outstanding earcuff combination , joined by a small chain.
I mean something like the Hari Chain Star Duo Gold model and others like it.
I remind you that you also have the silver version of all the models available and I recommend that you take a look at them.
Final tip: try. get inspired. Combine. The best thing is that you let go and go out with what you like the most.
And tell me how you feel with your earcuffs. You dare?
