A dark enamelled flower sits at the lobe, a fine chain swags upward and back from it, and a plain curved cuff hooks over the top of the ear with a small teardrop stone at its end. The chain is what connects the two.
Linking a lobe earring to an ear cuff with a chain is the simplest way to make a single earring occupy the whole ear. It also solves a practical problem: the chain shares the load between the lobe and the upper ear, so neither carries much. The swag hangs loose rather than pulling taut, which is what makes it look relaxed instead of engineered.
The flower at the lobe is filled with dark enamel and outlined in gold with a stone at its centre. From it, a fine cable chain rises in a gentle curve and attaches to the cuff band above. The cuff itself is deliberately plain — a smooth curved strip with no decoration — so that all the ornament sits at the two ends. A small teardrop stone hangs where the cuff meets the upper ear.
An ear cuff is held by the shape of the ear rather than by a piercing. The curved band eases over the outer rim and grips gently by tension. No piercing is needed where it sits, so it suits anyone with a single piercing who wants the look of several, and it comes off instantly. Ease it on from the side rather than pushing it straight down, and never bend the band wide open to fit — that is what loosens an ear cuff permanently.
Hair up with the ear exposed, worn on one ear. The chain swag needs a clear path, so tuck hair firmly back. This design is more restrained than a fully decorated cuff, which makes it a good first ear cuff if you have not worn one before.
Festivals, parties, weddings and photo shoots.
Comfortable, because the chain shares the weight between the lobe and the upper ear. Seat the cuff first, then the flower in the lobe, then let the chain settle.
This piece is brass finished with a gold-tone plating rather than solid gold, which is what keeps the price where it is and the weight low enough for comfortable wear. Plating is a surface rather than a bulk property, so how long it lasts depends almost entirely on what it is exposed to. Perfume, hairspray, sweat, soap and chlorinated water all shorten its life; a dry cloth after wearing and a closed pouch between wearings extend it considerably.
Put this on after perfume, hairspray and foundation. Wipe with a dry soft cloth after wearing and use a dry soft brush around the stone settings. Store it flat in a pouch so the curve keeps its shape, and never use toothpaste, bleach or an ultrasonic cleaner.
