Wear Ear Climbers

An ear climber can add a new dimension to your look. This versatile piece of jewelry can be worn on its own or coordinated with other pieces of jewelry. No matter how you style your ear climber, let it take center stage when wearing it with other earrings.

Steps

Inserting and Positioning an Ear Climber

  1. Thread the ear climber’s post through your piercing. Pick up the ear climber and locate its long, curved post. Place the tip of the post through your piercing and continue threading the post completely through your piercing.[1]
  2. Flip up the ear climber. Once you thread the ear climber’s post all the way through your piercing, flip the ear climber up. Flip the ear climber into the desired position. Your earlobe should be gripped between the post and the front of the ear climber.[1]
  3. Secure the ear climber with a gentle squeeze. Gently squeeze the base of the ear climber with your forefinger and thumb. The ear climber should feel secure, but it should not be pinching your earlobe.[1]

Choosing an Ear Climber

  1. Wear a single, bold climber as a statement piece. Let a single, attention-grabbing ear climber take center stage. Keep other jewelry to a minimum to avoid over-accessorizing. For example, pair a bold ear climber with a simple ring.[2]
  2. Try an ear climber in a unique shape. Wearing a uniquely shaped ear climber can add a new dimension to any look. Try a constellation-shaped ear climber or an ear climber shaped like a snake.[3]
  3. Try a climber that gives the illusion of multiple piercings. An ear climber can appear as though it is two, three, or more separate piercings. These ear climbers can help you create a look that is layered, yet sleek.[4]

Styling Ear Climbers

  1. Balance a simple climber with an upper cartilage stud. Consider wearing a single gold or silver ear climber on one lobe only. Then, balance the climber with a coordinating stud in your upper cartilage.[5]
  2. Pair an ear climber with a simple stud in the opposite ear. If you want to create an asymmetrical look, wear a single ear climber in one ear and a coordinating stud in the other ear. For example, try wearing a rhinestone ear climber and a rhinestone stud.[6]
  3. Allow lots of room between multiple pieces of jewelry. If you wear additional earrings with an ear climber, make sure you don’t place the pieces too close together. Doing so will overcrowd the look. Try sticking to an ear climber with one or two additional pieces in the upper ear.[7]
  4. Wear an ear climber with a turtleneck or high neck. A turtleneck or shirt with a high neck will draw attention toward your chin, highlighting the ear climber. Try wearing a simple gold or silver ear climber with a black or navy blue turtleneck sweater.[1]
