OUR CLIPS
We currently offer two resin clip options across a range of clip-on earrings:
CLASSIC or SPRING
Our signature resin clips are both comfortable and discreet on the lobe
For those more tolerant to metals, we've create a new Padded Clip, in the form of a huggie hoop
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 | |
|
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) |

WATCH THE CLIPS IN ACTIONFIRST 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.
