In the collection of every fashionista, there are a large number of all kinds of jewelry. These are rings and pendants, chains and earrings. All of them help to make the image more vivid and complete. Cuff earrings are becoming more and more popular now. They can be called a work of art. Why? What are cuffs and how to wear them?

A bit of history

To say when cuffs first appeared is quite difficult. On this account, there are several different opinions. According to some scholars, they were known in the period of antiquity. Others say that these ornaments were worn in ancient India. By the way, women of this country still decorate themselves with cuffs.

In the 40s of the last century, these earrings most often had the shape of wings or stars. A decade later, they began to decorate with stones. 30 years later, even men began to use them. What is the best year for jewelry? The first peak of popularity came in the 80s. At that time, ring-shaped products were in fashion. It is worth noting that sometimes cuffs were used as a distinctive sign of representatives of subcultures, for example, punks. For the same purpose, they are often used now.

Features

  • Cuffs look very nice and unusual. The secret of their popularity lies in several features:
  • To wear earrings, do not pierce the ears. This does not apply to those models for which you still have to pierce the ears.
  • Cuffs do not fall in the process of wearing.
  • Earrings can be used to decorate the ears or hair.
  • These decorations can be of any shape. Unlike ordinary earrings, large cuffs will not cause discomfort. The load is evenly distributed over the entire ear.

Classification

The main difference of all existing cuffs is the method of attachment. There are several of them:

  • With clip. To wear such products, piercing is not necessary. They are attached using a special clamp. The larger the earrings, the larger the mount. Usually, such models are shaped like animals, flowers, etc.
  • With a puncture. How to wear cuff earrings of this type? Only after the ears are pierced. One half of the product is inserted into the hole in the ear, and the second goes up. A decorative element, for example, a chain, acts as a connecting element.
  • With a chain. This type of construction is very similar to the previous one. The only difference is the length of the chain and the place of its attachment (hair).
  • With shackle. What are cuffs with a similar clasp? This is the most original model. Mounted on the back of the ear. In this case, the mount remains invisible to others.
