How to Curate Your Ears
The curated ear has been one of the biggest trends in earrings over the last few years. A curated ear piercing trend is all about choosing the perfect ear piercings locations and earrings to complement your ear shape and unique style.

Now, people are considering the entire ear holistically and choose earrings and placements that will all compliment each other.
So, how do you curate your own ear mix?

Choose the earrings you want to wear. Consider the size of the earring and how much space you want between each earring. It is very important that you make sure the piercings are placed at an appropriate distance so that when your earrings are in they are properly spaced out.
