Thank you for viewing. This is an ear cuff from an artist. It's a delicate item. The structure is designed to be painless even near the cartilage. Clip-on type. Please refer to the model's wearing for reference. Shipped anonymously. No scratches or discoloration. Using the tag. It's cute to wear it in the center of the cartilage, where it won't interfere with earrings or ear piercings.
