One of the most exciting trends shaking up fashion jewellery industry is the evolution of ear wear. No longer restricted to drops or studs, costume jewellery designers have been devising increasingly creative ways to adorn the ear, including the most lavish of designs – the ear cuff.There are many different styles of jewelry ear cuff. Some hook over the top of the ear, using its natural curve. Most, however, have a fastening at the lobe for extra security that holds it in position in the same way as a traditional earring design. Some may also have additional clips, hidden from view when worn, to guide the ear cuff up the ear. Others use slide-style clips that allow you to fasten the ear cuff at a number of different positions – this works especially well with smaller earcuffs – and some will even hook into the inside of the ear itself, creating a real talking point. 
The first type of ear cuff jewelry ever recorded in history, in 2000 BC, was called a Kaffa. Examples of the original Kaffa were found in burial sites during excavations that took place in the British Isles. Unlike earrings and clip-ons that attach to the earlobe, these were made to attach to the pinna, the visible outside edge of the ear.Ear cuffs, which are an extension of the conventional earrings, look trendy, stylish and off-beat. They can also go beautifully with almost any outfit. Basically, these earrings cling to your cartilage and adorn your ears like a beautiful statement jewellery piece. So, what more can you ask - it is easy to wear, affordable to adopt and fashionable to the core. 
Ear cuffs alone are enough to brighten up your look. Adding dramatic make up will steal the attention away from your cuffs. So, just highlight your features and let the make-up be simple and unassuming. If you are going for dramatic cuffs, then go for bold and smokey eyes while keeping the rest of the look simple. For those evening parties you can up your glamour quotient by sporting dramatic cuffs. The modern ear cuff is not confined to a particular style, but represents a range of cultures. Ear cuffs that have been especially popular in recent years are gemstone hoops that are worn at intervals all the way up the ear. These may be one clip that gives the appearance of several cuffs. Ear cuffs tend to be worn on one ear, with the hair behind the ear on one side or swept up opposite, so that the ear cuff can be seen and admired. Ear cuffs are another item of jewelry that can be personalized to represent the unique style of the wearer and allow for experimentation with a variety of different looks without having to endure the pain of piercing or commit to a permanent piece of body art.
