Ear cuffs, however, are a recent innovation . They were invented in the 90s by designer Yves Saint Laurent, who presented them to the public during a fashion show. Ear cuffs were initially not very successful, but in recent years they have become a real must-have for women who love to amaze with their style.

Today they are available in many different shapes and styles, from minimal to more elaborate and decorated ones, with the aim of satisfying the needs of every fashion victim.

They consist of a band that sits on the ear and can be decorated with stones, crystals and other design elements. Ear cuffs do not require the use of a pierced ear, but can also be worn by those who do not have pierced ears.
