Welcome, the Lobe Cuff

Anita Ko’s ‘Floating Diamond’ lobe cuff in 18-karat rose gold with white diamonds.

 

When you think about it, its amazing that we humanoids have figured out so many ways to adorn the ears. And we show no sign of stopping with the latest of ear decor hitting the mainstream. Spotlight on: the lobe cuff.

The lobe cuff is a fun, new earring style that’s basically a hybrid between a hoop earring and an ear cuff. A lobe cuff can be worn in the first or second piercing, fits snugly against the lobe and gives the appearance of wrapping into the ear. It can also be referred to as the “ear hook” (though we much prefer lobe cuff!).

Says jewelry designer Ara Vartanian (who creates lobe cuffs with larger stones):

“Customers love this style because the design is aesthetically different, and it helps balance the weight of the earrings with such a large stone.”

We think this jewelry trend may stick around for a while because the look itself has a classic, comfortable appeal.
