Piercing has seen a huge increase in popularity in recent years. It seems like the whole world is getting pierced, in all sorts of places. But, piercing is not necessarily for everyone. If you have a phobia of needles, or just don’t feel like having holes put in your skin, you probably don’t feel like facing the piercing gun. Well, fear not, as clip-on jewelry had come a long way since the 1980s when your gran would wear garish clip-on earrings, made of cheap plastic.

Advantages of Clip-On Jewelry

Clip on jewelry has been brought up to date, so those without piercings can still embrace the latest jewelry trends. Plus clip-on jewelry has its advantages.

 

You can try different jewelry piece, such as upper ear jewelry, or nose and lip rings, to see how you like them, without actually having to get pierced. Because once that hole is there, it is pretty much permanent – if you don’t like it, you’re stuck with it anyway. It’s always best to try before you buy…don’t you think. Especially when it comes to putting holes in yourself.

Also, many girls will be familiar with the earlobe agony of wearing long, chandelier earrings for an extended period of time. Clip-on earrings are no longer the torture devices they used to be. Many of them now work with more sophisticated methods of attachment, such as magnets…ingenious.

 

Most of us have heard a horrible story of an earring or belly button ring, getting caught on a sweater, etc., and it has forcibly been ripped out, tearing or stretching the earlobe. Not only must this be extremely painful, but it could also lead to scarring. If a clip-on earring or belly bar gets caught in something, it will just pull away, with very little risk of injury.
