THIS TABLE IS A GENERAL GUIDE ONLY
Every ear is different and beautifully unique. For this reason, your experience with clip-ons may not be the same as someone else's

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

STILL UNSURE?
