What is stretched ear jewelry called?

Stretched ear jewelry can include plugs, tunnels, hangers (also called ear weights), and saddle hangers (also called spreaders). Plugs are solid cylindrical pieces that sit in a stretched ear piercing. Tunnels are similar to plugs but are hollowed-out, Hangers, as the name suggests, hang on the stretched piercing ,. Lobe Cuffs™, an Ask & Embla original design, clip onto and hug the rim of the stretched earlobe. Each type of jewelry comes in different sizes to suit various gauge sizes; measuring the diameter of your piercing is the first step to deciding on the appropriate size.

How do you wear earrings with stretched ears?

Aside from the plugs, tunnels, and hangers, you can still consider wearing other types of earrings on your stretched ears. Consider stacking clickers with your stretched ear jewelry, or wearing some dangling earrings through tunnels. Our lobe cuffs™ and ring stack collection is the perfect place to find more ways to adorn your stretched earlobes. They are available in 14K solid gold, brass, stainless steel, and titanium.
