Ear jacket earrings feature a stud that goes in the front of the earlobe and a separate stud, dangle, or hoop that goes behind the earlobe, called the jacket. The “jacket” can hang down below the ear or sit flush behind it to add a multidimensional look. Ear jacket earrings include a post that goes through the piercing, but they have a different design that wraps around your ears for an edgy aesthetic. If you’re looking for ways to up your everyday earring game, ear jackets are sleek, stylish options.
Ear jackets fit similarly to traditional stud earrings, but the larger piece called the jacket goes behind or under your ear, taking the place of a regular earring back. Simply insert the front section with the post into your piercing, then attach it using the back “jacket” piece for a comfortable, secure fit. The classic ear jacket design features a larger back stud section to create a double-layered look. Below-the-earlobe designs include a jacket that hangs from the back of the ear and dangles underneath the front stud to create a halo-like effect.
