Today you will not surprise anyone with clips, piercings and earrings. This jewelry is replaced by another - cuffs. This is a fashionable and modern ear jewelry. They are in many ways not like earrings. They appeared in Russia relatively recently, about a year ago, but have already gained great popularity among girls. Translated from English into Russian, this name sounds like “ear cuffs”.
What is this decoration?
Cuffs existed in Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. To this day they are very popular in India. Their advantage is that they can be worn without taking off all day. In addition, they do not require additional punctures. The cuff is attached to the ear with the help of the cuff (which can be easily folded in width).
Types of Jewelry
There is another type of attachment - this is a bow around the ear. This look will allow you to wear a large cuff on your ear, for example, with feathers, beads, chains and rings. Your auditory organ will not get tired at all from the weight of this product, which is distributed so that it does not stretch the lobe.
Cuffs come in many sizes, shapes and weights. They can be large and small, massive and sophisticated. They are suitable for any style of clothing, regardless of where you want to go: to visit or to jog through the stadium. They are worn by the most famous people in Hollywood, popular singers and actors.
Already there are such models of these products that can be attached to the hair, making you even more beautiful. Previously, only cuffs of popular brands were common, but today they have learned to make them manually.
We make cuffs on our own
If you decide to make a cuff with your own hands, then first you need to decide which one you like best. After all, there are simple and complex, delicate and massive, pebble-strewn models. If you have never been involved in creating such jewelry yourself, you can consider the simplest options.
How to make a do-it-yourself cuff? This procedure is quite simple. First you need a wire, its thickness should be 1 mm, wire cutters, beads and round-nose pliers. All manipulations must be done slowly and very carefully, and only then you will succeed.
We take the wire and string a bead on it. After that, with the help of round-nose pliers, we bend the tip of the wire into a small ring. The diameter of the ring should be approximately 7-8 millimeters. Next, apply the wire to the ruler. From the curl we measure out 1.5 centimeters and make a bend. We draw the wire so that it is parallel to the curl. We postpone another 1.5 centimeters from it in the opposite direction, now we bend the wire in the opposite direction.
After that, we make several more wave-like bends, already shorter. Now you need to bring the bead to this place and fix it. Cut the wire.
The last step in making earrings
From the piece of wire that we put aside in the size of 1.5 centimeters, we make bends inward, like paws. This will result in a clip that will be attached to the ear. That's all! This is a very simple cuff, so it should take a little time to make it. It will be very good if you do the same in the second ear.
A self-made cuff on the ear will look even more beautiful than the purchased one. You can come up with such jewelry as much as your imagination allows.
Cuffs are worn very easily. They are either attached with a clip or inserted into a pierced ear, and there are models that are attached in two places at once and in two versions.
How to wear cuffs?
Decoration has become very popular this year. In this regard, a logical question arose about how to wear cuffs. There are models that are worn on one ear. As a rule, this jewelry is large. But if you do not want to wear it, then choose small size cuffs, they are worn on both ears.
There are models that are created only for the right or left ear. Of course, you choose. Brave ladies wear a cuff on the ear, combining it with other earrings. Choose short hairstyles. If you have long hair, remove it from your ear so that everyone can see your cuff.
If your curls are picked up high, or a short haircut, then such earrings are simply created so that you wear them. They look very impressive on open ears.
Also, cuff earrings, the photos of which you see in our article, are worn with sunglasses, with large and voluminous scarves. This jewelry looks very interesting with caps, berets and hats.
