Clip-On Earrings

Clip-on earrings are a type of non-pierced earrings. They are designed to attach to your ears by applying pressure to both sides of your earlobe. They were invented as an alternative to pierced earrings.

In the early 20th century, the clip-on earrings were invented as an alternative to pierced earrings. This new invention allowed anyone to wear earrings without the "disgrace" of piercing holes in their ears. Crystal clip on earrings that resembled chandeliers became a defining feature of the Victorian era.
