CLASSIC CLIP SIZE COMPARISON


FIRST TIME TRYING CLIP-ONS?
Our CLASSIC CLIPS are a great place to start as they're snug but not overly tight
Go for our LIGHTER CLIP-ON styles first. A general rule of thumb: the lighter the earring, the comfier and more secure!
You may experience some discomfort if you've never tried clip-ons before or if you don't frequently wear them. Your ears may just need time to adjust... but good things come in good time right?
STILL UNSURE?
