The popularity of the ‘curated ear’, where multiple ear piercings are styled by the individual, continues to be popular, especially with the trendy or rebellious at heart! However, many customers want to create the same curated, customised look but don’t want to commit to the permanence of piercing. Enter climbers and ear cuffs which offer the style of a well-dressed ear without traders having to learn the anatomy of the ear and customers having to submit to the needle!
Ear cuffs have a long history, having been worn by women since ancient times, and were used by different cultures to represent rank, marital status or age and were viewed as an art form on the ear. Their great strength in these modern times is their versatility for endless mixing and matching to create styles for the everyday or extraordinary occasions.
Ear climbers are earrings which do require a piercing, but which fix like a regular stud and hug the curve of the ear (auricle) and create a more eye-catching effect than a simple stud.
The great thing for traders is that all these options can be worn in combination to create different looks and styles to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
