If you don't want to actually pierce your ears, then ear cuffs are for you. They're an earring that's designed to "hug" or cling to the upper part of the ear. This is achieved by having the metal formed into a curved shape that snugly fits around the folds of your outer ear. I personally have 2 simple bands, and they don't hurt at all to have them on. Also, this earring comes in several different designs and shapes and can even be incorporated with already existing piercings (see picture to the right).
As I said, I have only two plain cuffs (one silver, one gold) but there is a huge variety in the types and styles available. They can be just a strip of metal, curved wire (with curved wire there can be swirling and curvy patterns) or they can have embedded gemstones, etched designs, dangling jewelry, or take on the shape of a specific thing or animal (bottom picture.).
They are usually made of metal, but it can have wood, bone, or gems attached or hung (very common). They also are a one size fits all kind of deal (sometimes sizes can be chosen) and they are super easy to adjust to the size of your ear. I love the ones I have and highly recommend them!
