Gifts for Women With Unpierced Ears:   A Clip-On Gift Guide

Most jewelry gifts quietly assume one thing: pierced ears. If the woman you are shopping for has unpierced ears, that assumption makes gift-giving surprisingly hard. Our founder knows the problem well. She started selling clip-on earrings because her sister has unpierced ears and struggled to find good-looking earrings.

So this guide skips the basics and goes straight to the fun part: five complete looks, each built around a clip-on earring and styled with pieces from the rest of the collection. Prices are in USD, and orders over $100 ship free.

Gift questions

Will clip-ons be comfortable? A well-fitted pair should feel snug, not sore. If you are unsure, choose a screw-back, which she can adjust herself. Our guide, Do Clip-On Earrings Hurt?, explains how to find the most comfortable pair.

What if she already has pierced ears? Clip-ons do not use a piercing, so they work whether or not her ears are pierced.

Gold or silver? Look at the jewelry she wears most. If she wears both, choose the metal that matches her everyday necklace or watch.

What if the fit is not right? Please check our return and refund policy. 

Will it arrive in time for the holidays? Our last order dates for holiday delivery to USA, Australia, UK and Asia is on 9th of December, Europe is on 5th of December.
