ear cuff

Clipless lobe decoration

An ear cuff is a piece of jewelry that clips onto the outer edge of the ear without requiring a piercing.

Unlike earrings that pass through a hole in the lobe, ear cuffs grip the cartilage of the helix or conch: She wore a simple gold ear cuff on her left ear.

They range from minimalist bands to elaborate designs that wrap around the entire ear.
