What are clip on earrings?
Clip on earrings are earrings which contain a 2 piece part on the back
of the earring. These two piece parts work by applying mechanical pressure in
order to stay locked onto the ear. This is great because you can easily take
them on and off your ears whether you are at home or you are on the move.
The ear piercing process can be a very traumatic and painful
experience to those who want to get an earring. First there is the process of
someone sticking a needle in your ear, after that you have to constantly wear the
earring for 2 weeks in order to be able
to take it off and wear a different kind of earring. Lots of people do not want
to go through that process which is why clip on earrings were invented.
Clip on earrings have been with us for quite a long time,
which is why you can see many vintage clip on earrings from the 1950s and 1940s
still being sold today in 2014. Many different kinds of people wear these types
of earrings from little kids to grown women, and men.
Clip on earrings for kids are very beneficial, because a
child is a still developing and if a child gets their ears pierced then they can
be more vulnerable to different types of ear infections which will affect their
life at school and at home. So this is one of the reasons why clip on earrings
are better than pierced earrings, clip on earrings save you from the painful
ear piercing process.
Normal clip on earrings work by applying mechanical pressure
to the earlobe. Some clips on earrings even come with a wheel or an adjuster
where you can adjust the pressure exerted on the ear. This is great because you can control how
tight the clip locks onto your ears.
Other types of non-pierced
earrings
There are other kinds
of other non-pierced earrings which include:
Magnetic earrings- These types of earrings imitate the look
of studs, and hold the ear in place by the use of a magnetic force.
Sticks on earrings- Stick on earrings are sort of like
adhesives which look like normal stud earrings and stick on to the skin of the
earlobe. These earrings are fantastic because they do not apply as much
pressure to the ears as most other clip on earrings.
There are many other types of non-pierced earrings, and this
goes to show that you don’t have to have your ears pierced in order to wear
earrings.

Now one of the major disadvantages of wearing clip on
earrings is that some users have experienced some discomfort and pain to their
ears due to the pressure. However there are ways around the pain and
discomfort, because you can get earring cushions. Earring cushions are little
pieces of foam you can place between the contact point and the ear to help
lessen any discomfort or pain to the ears.
One disadvantage of clip on earrings is the limited variety
of earrings you can purchase. Most earrings you find in the store such as
diamond earrings, gold earrings and silver earrings are actually pierced
earrings. So it can be a little bit of a pain if you go to your favorite jewelry
store to find a diamond earring just to find out that they only have them as
pierced.
Another disadvantage is that the extra clip on the earring can
give additional unnecessary weight to the earring which can make the earring
look bulky.
Whether you would like to get your ears pierced or not is a
personal decision but bear in mind that you do so at your own risk.
