Five Tips on How to Care for Your Clip-On Earrings

We love clip-on earrings because they let us enjoy beauty without piercing. But like all jewellery, they need a little care so they can stay comfortable and last much longer. Here are some simple tips we follow, and we hope they help you too.

Change Silicone Pads Regularly

Every pair of clip-on earrings feels better with soft silicone pads. These pads make the clip gentle and stop it from slipping. But with time, they get old and lose their bounce. We always suggest changing them about every three months. Fresh pads bring back comfort and make the earrings feel new again.

Be Gentle with the Clips

It’s tempting to open the clips wide when adjusting. But too much force can bend the metal. Here is a tip to avoid damage from over-pulling: try putting the non-piercing earrings on through a thinner part of the ear, so you can easily put the earrings on without pulling the clip too wide. Then, slide them down to the earlobe. This way, the clip stays strong, and the earring still sits securely.

Clean Before Storing

When we know we won’t wear a pair for a while, we take a moment to clean them. Every Arboéa di Terra parcel comes with a set of professional soft jewellery cloths, helping our customers remove oil, sweat, and any remaining chemicals on the surface. After a quick wipe, these earrings are ready to rest in a soft, caring pouch that comes with every pair of Arboréa di Terra clip-on earrings. This small habit keeps them shiny and fresh for the next time.

Keep Away from Perfume and Skincare

Earrings don’t like perfume or skincare products. The coating might fade if it comes into contact with sprays, creams, or other skin care products. Those chemicals help you glow, but could damage our clip-on pieces. We always recommend putting on your clip-on earrings after finishing your beauty routine. It’s a small step, but it keeps non-piercing earrings safe from damage.

Store Them Separately

The way you store your clip-on earrings matters as much as cleaning. To make their glamour stay for longer, keep each pair of clip-on earrings in its own pouch or box. If they mix with other jewellery for storage, there might be unwanted and unpleasant scratches from time to time. So it is always a good idea to give them their own space. 

Final Thoughts

Looking after your loving clip-on earrings and ear cuffs is really about slowing down and treating them with intimacy. They are your best friends - moving with you and glowing with you. With these small steps in this blog, we want your clip-on earrings to stay comfortable and beautiful for longer. In Arboréa di Terra's world, non-piercing earrings are more than an accessory - they’re part of your story, our story. We give them lives, and you provide them with a home. 

And let's make the story an unforgettable one.
