Glamour for your ears:

This seasons most wanted and need accessory is the Ear cuff. Since the catwalk struts of Spring/Summer 2013, there has been a clear sign of a hot trend forming. The perfectly new and improved upgrade from your normal earrings. The Ear cuff, is a whole lot of added drama with a hint of glamour, with its fine detail and intricate swirl around the ear shape.

Its the perfect trend for those that have still yet to face the ear piercing gun. The ear cuff was definitely something that everyone saw coming, and waiting for the new reinvention of the classic earring design. Stylish and chic, its adds that perfect dose of high-fashion styling. From coloured stones, to metals the designs are endless... you will be sure to find the right Ear cuff for your look.

SKARMAN'S STYLE TIP:

Best worn with a messy, and loose sleek up-do, allowing the impact of the jewellery to take all the attention. Keep other accessories to a minimal around your face, that means no necklaces needed.

SKARMAN'S CHOICE:

 I love this trend. Its individual and unusual which is always a good trait to find in any trend. The high street stores are packed with great ear cuffs, for any occasion and taste. I have fallen in love with this Repossi 18-karat rose gold ear cuff. With no added stones or detail but a simple caged design, I find it oozing classic glamour... perfect for casual day looks and evening elegance.-★
