Ear hooks and ear cuffs are less well known than clip on earrings but are also forms of non-pierced earrings. They can open new style opportunities that are impossible to achieve with conventional clip ons.
Ear hooks simply catch over the top of the ear to adorn it, similar to the way glasses are held on place by the ears. Ear cuffs are almost like an incomplete hoop made out of a soft metal, often 925 sterling silver. One places it over the ear and squeezes gently to fix it in place. This allows it to placed not just on the ear lobe but also high up on the cartilage.
