Ear cuffs and climbers

Ear cuffs are just one of the non-traditional earring styles expected to be a big trend over the next few months. Wrapped around the middle or top part of the ear, these edgy pieces provide women of all ages the opportunity to experiment with a multi-earring look without having to add another piercing. Ear cuffs can also offer a big and bold look with versions featuring a pierced stud and chain that attaches to the cuff. This fashion statement also whimsically plays into the punk look we have seen over the past few seasons and one that continues through the fall.

Available in a wide variety of materials, prices, and styles, ear climbers—earrings that travel up and surround the ear—are another bold style. For more reserved women, ear climbers can be understated with diamonds that climb slightly up the ear, while more fashion-forward gals can embrace larger versions with gemstones or blackened metal that fully surround the ear.
