How do you remove cuff earrings?

Published in Jewelry Care 2 mins read

To remove cuff earrings, gently widen the opening and slide the cuff to the thinnest part of your ear before taking it off.

Here's a breakdown of the removal process:

  1. Gently Widen the Opening (if needed): Some ear cuffs are designed with a slight opening. If your cuff feels tight, very gently pull apart the ends just enough to allow it to move more freely along your ear. Do not force it, as this could damage the cuff.
  2. Slide to the Thinnest Part of Your Ear: Carefully slide the cuff along the edge of your ear towards the thinnest part, usually near the top of your ear.
  3. Remove the Cuff: Once at the thinnest part, gently wiggle and remove the cuff earring. Holding your ear taught can make this step easier.

Important Considerations:

  • Material: Be mindful of the cuff's material. Delicate metals require more care to avoid bending or breaking.
  • Tightness: If the cuff is excessively tight, don't force it. You risk hurting your ear or damaging the cuff. Try loosening it slightly, or consult with a jeweler if you are concerned about damage.
  • Placement: The removal process is easiest when you remove the cuff from the thinnest part of your ear that's still accessible. Trying to remove it from a thicker part might require more force and cause discomfort.
