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



How to wear an ear cuff photo for-animation-1.gif
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.

Wonthaggi Craft Market

I've finally decided to do a Craft Market!

This first one will be in Wonthaggi, I may do the Traralgon one some times as well.

Most things, if not all, will be on sale, for the market only.

I've made a heap of barbed wire jewellery,

 


lots of crochet bookmarks,



and quite a lot of wire ear cuffs.

 All these things still need proper photos taken, and to be listed onto my website, but they're already made and available to buy.  There's plenty more that I haven't photographed yet.

The barbed wire jewellery and ear cuffs will be added to Night Cove

The crochet bookmarks will be added to Craft Cove

The first market will be at Apex Park in Murray Street Wonthaggi.
And is on the10th March.
