About the ear cuff

Ear cuffs are such a wonderful invention.  They are designed to be worn without ear piercings.  Although they are so versatile, you can wear them with your normal pierced earrings as well.

They come in so many variations.  The cuff part that goes around the cartilege can be plain, as in this image:






They can be doubled:






They can be wrapped in fine wire:





Or, they can be cleverly crossed over:




And to think, that is just the part that holds the cuff to the ear!!

The decorative section can be made large:




Or small, simple looking, or very intricate.




They can be decorated with chain:



or attached to normal earrings:







Ear cuffs are often associated with alternative fashion, including Goth and steampunk.  But can really be worn by anyone.

They can be called cartilage jewellery, cartilage earrings, slave earrings, Bajoran earrings.

They are most often worn on one ear only, but can be worn on both, or worn with normal pierced earrings.


How to wear an ear cuff

Start at the top of the ear where the ear is thinner.

Slide the cuff downwards over the cartilage, while turning it towards the front.

The cuff will sit from the outside of the ear, and over both sections of cartilage on the middle part of your ear.

Squeeze the ring section slightly, if necessary to get a snug fit. This is only necessary before the first use.

New Australian website for Gothic jewellery

I've created another new site called NIGHT COVE. This one is for chainmail, Goth jewellery and steampunk. And it's all made in Australia.

https://sites.google.com/site/nightcove/

There will be a wide range of lockable jewellery, slave bracelets (handflowers), barefoot sandals (slave anklets), and steampunk.

Some items are made of chainmail, others from  wire work, and yet others beaded.

There is also a range of vintage jewellery, and belly dancing wear.

This is the first handflower design.


I have many many more ideas for things, there are so many handflower and footflower designs in my head, and sketched out. And so many more ideas for ear cuffs, wraps and vines.

Here are some of the other chainmail designs.
