New to earcuffs? Start with the shape of your piece. Small hoop-style fake piercings slide onto the cartilage; larger earcuffs have a fit specific to their design. Check the product description and worn photos before you begin.

Small hoop-style fake piercings

1. Find the narrowest part of your ear. This is usually near the top of the outer cartilage.

2. Slide the opening over the edge. Hold the metal hoop gently, rather than pulling on pearls, crystals or pendants.

3. Move it into position. Slide it down the outer edge until it sits comfortably and feels secure.

4. Adjust only if your model is adjustable. Gently close the hoop just enough to hold it in place. Never force it or pinch your ear.

Larger and statement earcuffs

The position varies by design. Use the worn photos on your product page to identify where the piece rests and where it attaches. Support the metal structure as you position it, without pulling on the decorative elements.

Check whether your model needs a piercing: some ear-jewellery designs combine an earcuff with a stud. Only adjust a piece if its product description says it is adjustable.

Check the fit

Your piece should feel secure and comfortable. If it pinches or slips, remove it and try a different position. To remove a small hoop-style fake piercing, gently slide it back to the narrowest part of your ear.

Avoid repeatedly bending the metal. Remove your ear jewellery before sleeping, showering or exercising.
