This type of earrings can be very inexpensive and are ideal for someone who likes to experiment with new looks. The variety of styles is huge as some designs of earring that would be too heavy for pierced ears work extremely well with clips. The best thing about this type of earrings is the fact that they can be worn even if you do not have pierced ears. Yes, you definitely heard it right! You do not need to have ear piercing to be able to showcase their appealing charm. Women who are afraid of piercing will definitely be delighted to know that they can still wear earrings without having the need to undergo the process that they hate the most. Aside from that, clip-on earrings are very flexible and adaptable. Whether you are a teenager, in your nineties or anywhere in between, you will always be able to find clip-on earrings to look good on you.

If you are thinking about buying yourself some clip earrings, here are a few things to look for:

• Earring Design – This is perhaps one of the major factors that you have to take note of. Remember that there are lots of styles available for this type of earring, and you would want to make sure that you will buy something that stands out from the rest. Basically, you have to choose from simple or intricately designed earrings. Large dangly earrings are popular as clip-ons. Of course, those with elaborate and eye-catching styles will allow you to stand-out more from the crowd.
• Materials Used – Clip-on earrings are produced from a wide range of materials, with everything from plastic and beads, to gold, sterling silver and gemstones. It is important to decide whether you are looking for a quality pair of earrings that will last a long time, or whether you are just looking for an up-to-the-minute fashion accessory that you may only wear once or twice and then discard.

This is where clip earrings are such a good buy as fashionable pairs can often be bought very cheaply in department stores or even from thrift stores. You can have a different pair to go with every outfit in your wardrobe if you choose.

With retro fashions being so popular at the moment, a few pairs of cheap used clip earrings will keep you bang up-to-date. Look for styles from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Hygiene is not so much of an issue with used clip earrings as it is with earrings for pierced ears but if you are worried just wipe the clips with some babies’ bottle sterilizing solution and a clean cotton pad.

Not everybody wants to or is able to get their ears pierced, and this can be for a range of reasons. Some people are intolerant of the pain or even just the thought of it; some worry about things like getting infections after a piercing is done; others are concerned with ending up with permanent damage to their earlobes, especially if the piercing hole stretches (quite common with heavier earrings). For many other people, their beliefs may come into play; their religious beliefs might not permit things like pierced body jewelry or tattoos. Of course, it is also common in many households around the world where a younger girl (or boy) wants to get her ears pierced but the parents are against it, believing that she is too young. A clip on earring is a good choice as it causes no damage to young ears, and does not modify the body and so should not offend any religious beliefs.

Clip on earrings are also better for people who are impatient and don’t want the hassles of a real piercing, and having to wear a stud until it has healed, or who do not want to be style-limited by their earlobes – remember that great care needs to be taken not to wear heavy earrings, especially with recent piercings, as they can stretch the hole, and may cause permanent damage to the cartilage of the earlobe. So this is where clip on earrings stand out as an excellent choice. Any size or shape can be worn, whether they are small, large, dangly or whatever. They do not cause any damage at all, so large ones can be worn straight away, or quickly changed for cute little ones. The world of options really does open up for you, and the great thing about them is that stylistically, they have caught up with their piercing cousins, with clip on chandelier earrings, clip on earrings for kids, and pretty much any type you could wish for.

They work exactly how you would imagine they’d work; by gripping tightly to the earlobe – but without any pain or damage. They are held as tightly as any “normal” piercing-based earring, so don’t worry about them flying off at the slightest breeze. Clip ons are also easier to put on and take off, and if you are unlucky enough to ever get them caught up on something, such as clothing, they won’t stretch or tear  your earlobe if you accidentally give it a tug; with a clip on, it’ll just pull safely away from your ear.

So is there any point in wearing clip on earrings? I’d say so. They’re great for flamboyant style and showiness without the agony of torn piercings. They’re great for kids, so they can dress up and look pretty for special occasions. And they are also a neat solution for people who don’t usually wear earrings but fancy a change for a special “one off” occasion that wouldn’t warrant getting a real piercing.
