The Beauty Of Clip On Earrings

The beauty of clip on earrings can not be denied. There are some stunning versions available whatever your budget.

My earliest memories of seeing a pair of clip on earrings is when my mother was getting dressed up one evening to go to dinner with my father. I was very young at the time and they had been invited to a works do of some kind. It was a very fancy affair which involved cocktail dresses, big hairdos and lots of make up and perfume.

My mother had a beautiful pair of black pearl clip on earrings. I remember asking if I could try them on. I opened the earring clasp and held it against my earlobe. As I applied pressure, the clasp snapped shut. Oh my god! What a shock that was. All I could feel was this tight pinching sensation. I dragged that thing off my ear as quickly as I could and rubbed my poor earlobe. My mother simply chuckled and said “oh the things we endure for the sake of our vanity”.

Fast forward a couple of decades and I am very pleased to see that things have changed on the earrings front. My mother had a serious aversion to needles which is why she had never ever attempted to have her ears pierced. She had to make do with the clip on varieties available. However technology, as well as the demand for comfortable jewellery has now advanced so much that the newer versions of clip on earrings are not only stunning, they are also easy to wear. You will not feel like your earlobes have been placed in a vice with someone slowly turning the handle, reminiscent of being in some kind of horror movie where you are being tortured.

There is a whole range of clip on earrings that now come where the backing is actually adjustable. If you like the beauty of dangle earrings, you can also find these styles or if you prefer the look of diamond stud earrings, these are also available in the clip on variety. You can manually screw the backs onto your ear so that you have control over the pressure on your earlobe.

Have a look at the vast array that you can purchase online. Compare and contrast the prices and you are sure to find something to suit your budget and your complete outfit.

I am happy to say that I have been able to update my mother’s jewellery box with an assortment of elegant clip on earrings that no longer work as some sort of torture tool. There is so much choice that she looks as beautiful as she did way back when.
