Ear Cuffs

[BloomWherePlanted]

I've had my upper ear pierced twice in the last couple of years. I loved it - had a little diamond stud - but neither time worked out well. First time it was with a gun and it never healed and I got a keloid. Took it out after about a year because it wasn't getting any better. Second time I had the other ear done, with a needle pushed through (omg I nearly passed out afterwards!). I thought this time would be okay because the skin is actually being removed but no, the same thing happened and after a year I admitted defeat and took it out. Both holes have closed up fine and the keloids disappeared within a few weeks. During the period of having the earrings in I was using tea tree oil to try to help with the healing process. Obviously it's not worth trying again, but I loved my little stud. A friend suggested an ear cuff instead so I'm trying to find one. Something subtle and plain for up to 50 quid, in silver.

I quite like this one although it looks quite big

I quite like the style of this one but wouldn't want gold

Has anyone got one? Do they stay on?

Thanks.

It depends on your earlobe - mine hasn't got as much of a curl as the photo in the etsy link.

I bought a stud+chain+cuff. It was sterling silver so I could 'pinch' the cuff but it spend 99% of it's time dangling off the chain (so as least I didn't lose it because the stud was in)

Try it but start with a smallish silver one.

Try Claires maybe, they have them, sometimes jewellery on a 3 for 2

Thank you. I like that first one wander.

Me too. I've seen some silver wire ones which are lovely but can't seem to find them now!

Just to let you know wander that the ear cuff arrived a week ago and I've lived in it ever since. Love it. Thank you x

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for sharing the link to one of my ear cuffs in my Etsy shop, I've had a big increase in views via this thread since it was posted, so thank you.
