Clip-On

Clip-on earrings are non-pierced types of earrings that can be worn by children and adults alike. This earring type does not require pierced ears and features a mechanism that applies pressure from each side of the earlobe. When worn properly, they do not cause any pain or damage to the ear, nor do they leave marks.

While these days, clip-on earrings are not at their peak of popularity, many decades of the past featured this earring style predominantly. During the 80s and 90s, various vibrantly colored statement clip-on earring styles were available on the market. And during the 1920s and 1950s in America, clip-on earrings were highly prevalent. The reason for the latter: pierced ears were considered an act of rebellion.
