Preguntas frecuentes sobre Yellow gold ear cuff
How do you put on a yellow gold ear cuff without a piercing?
A yellow gold ear cuff is put on by inserting it over the thinnest upper part of the ear and sliding it down to the desired spot on the cartilage. To secure the piece properly without damaging the metal, follow these steps:
- Gently pull the cartilage skin outward with one hand.
- Slide the opening of the earring over the outer edge until it reaches the middle of the helix.
- Gently press both ends with your fingertips until it feels secure.
Our 925 sterling silver pieces with 18Kt yellow gold plating offer just the right flexibility for this adjustment without losing their original shape.
I don't have a piercing in the upper part of my ear and I'm afraid it might fall off. How does this model stay in place?
These pieces are held in place by their anatomical curve and friction against the ear cartilage, preventing them from coming loose when properly adjusted. Unlike a conventional stud earring, they don't require a piercing. Models such as the AKOYA EAR CUFF or the JOLIE EAR CUFF are calibrated to maintain constant tension without restricting blood flow to the area.
Once it's positioned on the helix, simply apply slight manual pressure to the circular ends. If the earring doesn't move when you gently shake your head, the opening is adjusted to fit your anatomy precisely.
What material is the Blissou yellow gold ear cuff made of?
The central structure of each yellow gold ear cuff is made from solid 925 sterling silver coated with a thick layer of 18Kt yellow gold. Selected styles are also available in 9Kt and 14Kt gold. This combination offers the structural strength of fine silver, along with the chemical resistance and rich tone characteristic of gold.
Our alloys meet hypoallergenic purity standards and contain no added nickel, helping prevent irritation in sensitive cartilage tissue. Every piece comes with 3 years of official coverage against manufacturing defects.

What is the difference between an ear cuff and a traditional cartilage piercing?
The main difference lies in whether the skin tissue is pierced: an ear cuff is held in place by external pressure, while a traditional piercing requires a needle to pierce the cartilage. This offers practical advantages:
- Instant wear: No 6- to 12-month healing period required.
- Hygiene: Eliminates the risk of bacterial infections, keloids, or granulomas in the outer ear.
- Versatility: You can reposition or remove the piece instantly to suit the occasion.
The 18-karat gold-plated finish faithfully replicates the look of a real piercing without subjecting the ear to unnecessary trauma.
I have very reactive skin when it comes to costume jewelry. Will this gold plating cause an allergy or redness?
Our pieces are suitable for reactive skin because they use nickel- and cadmium-free precious metals. The base is certified 925 sterling silver, and the outer surface is electroplated with 18Kt yellow gold, creating a neutral, harmless barrier over the skin. Since it doesn’t penetrate the skin, external pressure rarely causes adverse reactions as long as the jewelry is kept clean and dry.
If you feel any discomfort when trying on your jewelry, you have 30 calendar days after receiving it to arrange an easy exchange or return.
How do I keep the yellow gold-plated finish gleaming?
Keep the gold-plated finish gleaming by wiping the surface with a dry microfiber cloth after each wear to remove sweat or cosmetic residue. Avoid immersing the jewelry in pools, exposing it to perfume, or rubbing it with abrasive products that could wear away the 18Kt gold layer over the silver base.
Store the piece separately in your Blissou organic cotton pouch to prevent it from rubbing against other metals. By following these preventive care guidelines, the gold finish will retain its original luster for years.
If the style doesn’t fit the shape of my ear well, can I return it?
We accept exchanges and returns within 30 calendar days of delivery if the product does not meet your expectations for fit. The earring must be in its original condition, with no signs of forced handling or wear, and must be returned in the official protective packaging in which it was received.
