What's happened
Cuffs are an exclusive ear accessory that is designed to decorate not only the earlobes, but the entire auricle. At the same time, the mission to create a fashionable accent on the neck, temples and beautiful hair comes to the fore. In addition, this is a trendy detail that becomes the highlight of any look.
An important advantage of this accessory is that it does not necessarily require your ears to be pierced.
The simplest design of cuffs is loops that are wrapped around the edge of the ear. Such decorations are made of wire or metal.
Another popular type of this accessory is an earring combined with chains.
Fashionable cuffs can also be inserted into the ear opening, creating a decorative design around the outer curve. Usually this accessory is additionally decorated with stones or rhinestones.
Cuffs can be bulky or laconic, bold or romantic, evening or everyday. In a word, such decoration can easily be used in any image. We advise you to buy several accessories in different styles for your collection, and we will teach you how to wear cuff earrings.
Taming a stylish accessory
There are several ways to wear different cuff earrings. We will tell you about everyone so that you can choose the most convenient option for yourself!
Method No. 1
Stand in front of a mirror - this is how all beginners master a fashion accessory. Place the earring on the top of the ear, namely on the thinnest part of the cartilage. In this case, one side of the outer edge should be located behind the ear, and the other, respectively, in front.
The easiest way to put on the cuff is by stretching the skin of the ear at the top and bottom. With the other hand, you should secure the jewelry on the outer edge of the cartilage. Rotate the accessory so that it slopes toward the inside of your ear and takes a comfortable position on the outside.
If the cuff is located along the edge and does not cause discomfort, congratulations! - you did everything right.
Note! If you are using a wire ear cuff, adjust the bend of the wire so that it follows the contours of the ear.
Method No. 2
Jewelry for one ear looks amazing - earvine. You can easily recognize this type of cuff by its rounded fastening towards the face.
Mastering the use of this accessory is as easy as shelling pears. First you need to insert the earring into the piercing, while pointing the cuff upward. Then pull the edge of the ear slightly to thread the jewelry all the way in the chosen direction. The final touch is fixing the cuff to the cartilage and putting the plug on the earring.
Method No. 3
Dealing with behind-the-ear jewelry is also not at all difficult. Our description and photo tutorial will help you with this!
- Start putting on the jewelry from the top of the ear, hooking it to the base.
- Direct the accessory as in the photo, and secure it tightly to your ears.
- The lower part of the cuff should be located outside the earlobe. To secure it in the desired position, hold the ear with one hand and the lower part of the jewelry with the other. Push the cuff deeper until it fits securely behind your ear.
Interesting! A fashionable novelty is a fake cuff. Girls with pierced ears can afford this decoration. The accessory involves studs that are curved like a cuff. This beauty technique is much easier to use, distinguished by ease and grace.
