Ear cuff, and no mahaha!
Hi, buddies!
I present one note in the course of “Fashion FAQ” (campaign against fashion illiteracy) for your attention.
As against soviet voluntary prototype ;)
Hey presto!
Cuff (from Eng. – upturn, wrist) – earring, which doesn’t require piercing, it allows to prettify not only ear lobe, but also other ear parts, temple, neck and hair.
Cuffs have the following clamping types: ear piece behind ear– as hands free Bluetooth; clamp in the form of unclosed ring on the edge of ear auricle (higher than ear lobe). As opposed to clip-on earrings, ears are not tired in ear cuffs because cuffs pressure on ears is low; cuffs don’t fall down from ears; specific clamping allows using large charms without ear lobe stretching; cuffs can prettify not only ear lobe, but the whole ear.
The first cuffs date back to 2300 year BC. Some pairs of gold ear cuffs of different antiquity periods are kept in museums of the world. The lead character of film “Alexander”, which is known for exact reproduction of antiquity fashion, Olimpiada wears 2 types of ear cuffs – with ear piece behind ear and with a ring around ear.
One could find cuffs images in traditional Indian painting. Moreover, traditional ear cuffs are used in Indian wedding rite to the present time.
Ear cuffs of 18 century are held in the Diamond Treasury. It emerged, that in 20’s of the 20th century designers also used this uncommon accessories. This fact is confirmed in film “Metropolis”, which came out in 1927.
One of the lead characters of this film wore overwhelming cuffs with chains.

Ear cuffs came into fashion in 50’s of the 20th century.

Nowadays ear cuffs, which caught the fancy of hipsters and informal people, hit the fashion podiums of seasons one by one. Now these earrings are not a part of subculture, they have become an essential part of fashionable wardrobe. Ear cuffs in the shape of tiger by Manish Arora or in the shape of a dragon byRodarte are must have accessories of the present season.
