ABSTRACT:
An ear cuff is disclosed herein of one-piece unitary construction from a thin flat elongated strip of metal formed into a pair of clips separated in spaced-apart relationship and each clip adapted to engage in partial encirclement with the inner and outer natural ridges of the ear of a wearer for support and retention without deformation of the flesh of the ear. The upper clip is rigid and non-pliable while the lower clip is deformable by thumb to finger pressure to fit and conform to the shape and contour of the ear ridge it encircles and engages. A decorative item may be included as part of the ear cuff or attached thereto by welding or a ring or a clip.
