Copy of OUR CLIPS

Our signature resin clips are both comfortable on the lobe and subtle in look.
We currently offer two clip options for our clip-on earrings:

CLASSIC    or    SPRING

WHICH CLIP TYPE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

We've drawn some comparisons to help you decide which clip type may better suit you:
 CLASSIC CLIP
SPRING CLIP
 PADDED CLIP (Coming Sep 8)
WEIGHT*
Better suited for lighter styles
Better suited for heavier styles
 Better suited for lighter styles and lightweight charms
FIT PREFERENCE
Prefer a snug fit that's not overly tight. Your priority is comfort
Prefer a tighter fit. Your priority is security
Prefer a lighter fit with a padded backing. Your priority is comfort
LOBE SHAPE
May hold better for lobes that are: A medium thickness (not overly thin or thick)
May hold better for lobes that are:
Very thin and flat OR Very thick 
(our spring clip is larger and will hug more of the lobe)
 Can work for most lobe thicknesses as the metal is malleable. However, a lobe with large enough surface area is needed to support and conceal the padded backing
PAIN TOLERANCE
Have a lower pain tolerance and  prefer a fit that is less snug and more comfortable
Have a higher pain tolerance that can withstand a tighter fit
 Have a low pain tolerance, but can withstand the pressure of squeezing the clip on the lobe (tight enough for a secure fit)
EAR SENSITIVITY
Your ears are highly sensitive to pain and metals
 Your ears are not too sensitive to pain and metals Your ears are highly sensitive to pain but can tolerate metals

THE ABOVE TABLE IS A GENERAL GUIDELINE ONLY
Every ear is vastly different and beautifully unique. For this reason, your experience with clip-ons may not be the same as someone else's. 
If you're still unsure of which clip type to go with, please send us an email to support@sanstrou.com, we're more than happy to offer further assistance!

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 as 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're not a frequent wearer. Your ears may just need time to adjust... but good things come in good time right? 

CLIP CARE 

Our resin clips are delicate and should always be handled gently. Avoid over-bending, twisting or dropping the clips.
