Welcome back ear cuffs! Yes, you read it right. These are not a new invention but were actually considered hip in the 90's. They made a major comeback in 2013 after Jean Paul Gaultier brought them back to the runway in late 2013. Of course, this time around, like everything else they are much more fashionable.
By 2014 these had made their way to India, and Orne Jewels was one of the first to introduce them to the Indian consumer. Of course, we had to add an Indian touch to it, and hence while these are typically worn only in one ear, a lot of designs now available in India enable you to wear a pair.
One great thing about these is you don't need a pierced ear to wear them. Lots of styles simply clip onto the upper ear or hook onto the ear, allowing girls without a pierced ear to enjoy them.
Here is one that simply clips onto the cartilage of the ear.
Styles like this one simply hook onto the ear with no danger of falling off.
Those that have their ear pierced need not be disappointed. Simply wear one of these ear cuffs and pair it with a stud.
These became so popular that ever startlets started to flaunt them. From Hollywood to Bollywood, no party was complete without at least one celebrity wearing one of these. From Sonam Kapoor to Kajol to Sonakshi Sinha, everyone is now sporting them.
India has even gone ahead and given these the ethnic touch for those who prefer traditional ethnic jewellery. Jhumkas were added along with american diamonds and pearls to make elaborate beauties that although are typically worn in both ears. The sky is now the limit when it comes to imagination and innovation in design.
With the trend growing exponentially, fine jewellery designers did not want to be left behind. And needless to say some of the ear cuffs they have designed are spectacular. Off course, the price tag ensures that they remain exclusive, but they are definitely on everyone's wish list!
The western world stayed true to it's style preferences with designs that are elegant and chic. Check out Christina Ortiz's 9karat rose gold plated ear cuff.
Indian jewellery designers on the other hand continue to retain their touch of opulence. We are fans of Gehna's diamond stud ear cuff with pearl strings.
So you're tempted, but now you're wondering how to wear it. Follow our simple tips to ensure you carry off this accessory in style.
Style Tip 1
Go minimalistic with other jewellery. If you must wear another earring with it, go for a simple matching ear stud. You want your ear cuff to be the star of the show. Heavy necklaces or head gear will distract from the cuff.

Style Tip 2
Wear you hair in an updo. This is best for showing off the ear cuff. If you are wearing the ear cuff in one ear you can also do a side sweep. Both hair styles ensure maximum exposure of the ear cuff. See pictures. Sonam and Sonakshi are both wearing the same ear cuff. However, Sonam is wearing them in both ears and hence the updo, whereas Sonakshi has worn only one and hence styled her hair in a side sweep.
Style Tip 3
Last but not least ensure that the style of your ear cuff matches the style of our outfit. If your outfit is casual and western choose a punk style ear cuff whereas if you are dressing up for the night choose something more elaborate and in tune with your outfit. You can now find various styles to match every budget both online and in stores near you.
The ear cuff earring trend is continuing to grow and is here to stay. So if you haven't already hop on the bandwagon and get yourselves at least one of these trendy pieces for your wardrobe. Buy ear cuffs online in India here.
