There was a time when a simple set of pretty studs would do, with perhaps something a bit more dramatic for going out. But why settle for one piercing, when four, six or even ten will do? The red carpet vogue for ear jewellery appears to be 'the more bling the better', with stars from Rihanna and Charlize Theron, to British Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo and pop star Ellie Goulding all recently sporting enough dazzling ear glitter to fill an entire jewellery box. The 'curated' ear — an individually tailored collection of piercings that leaves no fold of skin untouched — is the coolest and most provocative new jewellery statement.
