Ear clips - fashion for ages

A woman always, always wanted to look beautiful. From here in her box you can find many different accessories: earrings, bracelets, beads and other costume jewelery. And at the very bottom of this tempting chest for jewelry lay the clip - a special kind of earrings, which in the last century were so popular and loved. Recently, they are back in fashion again.

History of their birth

Compared with earrings that appeared several millennia ago, ear clips are just babies. They were created only in the XX century, and invented this kind of jewelry man - the famous jeweler Louis-Francois Cartier. History says that the creation of such an accessory was prompted by the usual clothespin. It is her attachment principle that is used to fasten the jewelry on the earlobe. As it was in fact - it is not known, nevertheless in the 50-80th years of the last century the clips were at the peak of popularity. These were elegant classic models that helped to complement the exquisite female image. And then there was a lull ...

A wide variety of choices

And now, at the beginning of the new millennium, ear clips are back in fashion! "Clothespins", "magnets", cuffs made of precious and ordinary metals, wood and plastic ... There are many of them, and they are so different.

All ornaments of this type can be classified into several types, depending on:

• from the method of attachment;

• from the fixing point;

• from the clamping features.

Fastening allows the clips to hold securely, do not slip, do not press strongly on the lobe, do not cause discomfort and do not disturb the blood circulation. And although the fixing design is quite simple, their decor can be very diverse, most importantly - not too heavy. To attach this fashionable jewelry to the ears can be used all kinds of clips:

• With a classic lock. Such models provide for the presence of a base to which a special clamp is attached in the form of metal circles. Ear clips with a classic lock are pressed in the ear alike, but high-quality models are still equipped with a pressure control function.

• Clamps are invisible. The most universal ornaments from the point of view of fastening are clamps-invisible. They are held by means of a special fastener, according to the principle of operation resembling a spring. Such ornament is used not only by women. Representatives of the stronger sex, keeping pace with the trends of modern fashion, also wear ear clip for men.

• Screw clamps. Screw clamps can be adjusted independently taking into account the thickness of the lobe or other individual features of the ear. This allows the decoration to "sit" firmly and reliably, but also not to disturb the blood circulation.

Women's favorites - cuffs

Another type of clip, which appeared much later than others, but immediately won the recognition and love of jewelry lovers - Kaffa. Such clips for the ears have a completely different structure and are an accessory that adorns not only the lobe, but also other parts of the ear, as well as the neck, temple and even hair.

This is a rather complex decorative design, which is fixed independently without any clamps and punctures. Mounting is an arch behind the ear or a clamp in the form of an open ring, which is attached to the edge of the shell. In this decoration, the woman's ears do not get tired at all, because the pressure on them is minimal. The special fastening allows them to securely fasten to the bone and the lobe and not to fall off at the same time. Yes, and decorate the cuffs all the ear, not just its individual parts. And if a woman dreams of decorating herself with large and heavy pendants, the kuffs will be quite appropriate.

Clips - for a day and a century

With such a wide choice, many women are lost and do not know what to choose for themselves. So, one tip for all occasions - you need to buy what you need. Superfashionable things sometimes create pressure and bring discomfort. If you want to buy clips for the ears and at the same time be fashionable and do not feel uncomfortable - buy cuffs. Fans of classical species can choose light models, because to keep them on the lobe, you do not have much power. For a high hairstyle any models will do. In general, for every case of life you can choose something of your own. Therefore, choose not so much fashionable jewelry, how many that look perfect on you.
