Ear Cuffs

Conch and upper ear

The conch is the deep hollow beside the ear canal, and many of these cuffs are shaped for it. Others sit higher, along the firmer outer rim. If either spot is already pierced, the conch piercing and cartilage earrings collections hold the pierced styles instead.

Styles that need a piercing

The Ear Cuff Chain joins a cuff to a fine chain and a connected stud, so it needs a pierced lobe. The Crystal Cartilage Cuff Earring is a small huggie hoop, so it needs a pierced cartilage.

Metals

Most of these cuffs are gold vermeil or rose gold vermeil, both of which are a thick layer of gold plated over sterling silver, and most of the rest are sterling silver. You can see the wider range of each in gold vermeil and sterling silver earrings.
