Ear Climbers & Crawlers

How does an ear climber work?

An ear climber uses one piercing, with an elongated front that follows part of the ear. Its post passes through the piercing and the fastening holds the design behind the ear. Linear and curved shapes use different backs, so compare the construction and intended side.

How do you choose the correct side and backing?

For scale, the Gold Turquoise Ear Climber is about 8.5mm long with a 20G post. Other designs differ. Check the left ear, right ear or pair option alongside the closure and length. The shape should follow the intended side without crowding another piercing.

How can you style a climber without crowding your ear?

Use the climber as the longer element and keep nearby stud earrings smaller. For a disc backing, compare the climber designs within flat back earrings and check the individual gauge and post length. Gold options are 18K gold plated over 925 sterling silver; silver options are rhodium plated. Clear, emerald-green, turquoise-color and black stone designs use cubic zirconia rather than the natural gemstones suggested by their color names.

Does a climber require several piercings?

The elongated designs use their specified earring fastening rather than a separate piercing for each decorative stone. Check the individual product for its construction.

Can you order one side only?

Several designs offer left or right singles as well as a pair. Read the chosen option because quantities differ across listings.

Does Head Only No Backing include a complete earring?

No. It is the decorative top alone, intended for customers who already own the matching Marafine post and back. Choose a complete post option if you need a wearable earring.
