No holes in your ears, but still want an ear look? Then earrings without piercing are your new best friend. You clip them on around your earlobe or the edge of your ear, and that's it. Below you'll see which clip on earrings there are, where to wear them and how to combine them.
Earrings without piercing: what are your options?
We're not talking about small studs that go through your ear. These are rings and cuffs that you clip around your ear. That gives you a real piercing look, without a needle and without a hole. You have three main options:
- Rings with a little spring: pull open, place around your ear, let go. The spring clips it shut by itself.
- Ear cuffs: you slide them over the edge of your ear and press them gently into place.
- Open rings for your helix: small rings with a detail at the front that you clip around the top edge of your ear.
Still not sure if a piercing is for you? Then read try a piercing before you get it done.
A ring around your earlobe
This is the simplest way to get the look of a hoop earring. The smooth ring in gold has a small spring. You pull it open by the little plate, place it around your earlobe and let go. You choose the size:
- 10 mm: the classic size, neatly close to your ear.
- 13 mm: bigger, so a lot more eye-catching.
Want more of a statement? Then the twisted ring in silver is for you. It's 13 mm and thanks to the twisted pattern it shines just a bit more than a smooth ring. Both rings also come in the other color.
An ear cuff for a double look
An ear cuff is the fastest route to an ear stack. The double ear cuff in gold is made of two smooth rings joined together in one line. So it looks like you have two piercings side by side. You can wear it in two places:
- Conch: the middle part of your ear, where the rings wrap nicely around the edge.
- Helix: the top edge of your ear, for a double helix without a needle.
Slide the cuff over the edge at the thinnest part of your ear and press it gently into place. Want to know more about the spots and styles? It's all in how to wear an ear cuff.
An open ring for your helix
Here's a fun surprise: lots of open nose rings can also be worn at the top of your ear. They're small and delicate, so they fit nicely around the thin top edge of your ear. The heart nose ring in gold is a soft, playful start. Want more sparkle? The pavé nose ring in gold has a wide, curved bar full of clear zirconia stones.
How to put a ring like that on your ear:
- Gently open the ring a little with your fingers.
- Place it around the top edge of your ear.
- Softly push it closed again, without squeezing hard.
- Turn it until the prettiest detail is at the front.
How to combine them
A few clever combinations:
- Low-key: one smooth ring around your earlobe and nothing else.
- Stack: a double ear cuff in your conch, plus a small ring on your helix.
- Party: a ring with stones at the top, a smooth ring below.
Stick to one color for a sleek look, or mix gold and silver if you want it playful. Not sure about the color? Check gold or silver: how to choose.

How to wear them comfortably and safely

- Don't squeeze it too tight and don't bend it out of shape.
- Only clip it around the spot it's meant for: earlobe, edge of your ear or conch.
