{"product_id":"interlocking-hearts-cartilage-cuff","title":"Cartilage Cuff Earring with Interlocking Open Hearts","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo open hearts linked through each other sit over the rim of the ear on this cartilage cuff earring, a sweet design that still looks graphic because the hearts are outlines rather than solid shapes. It is made from mirror bright 316L surgical steel, finished with polished ball ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterlocking open hearts.\u003c\/strong\u003e Linked outlines that let the ear show through.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 inch barbell.\u003c\/strong\u003e 12mm long, enough to span the rim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4mm threaded balls.\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished ends screw on at both sides.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuff style shield.\u003c\/strong\u003e The hearts wrap the edge rather than sitting flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCartilage Cuff Earring with Linked Hearts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cartilage cuff earring wraps the outer edge of the ear instead of sitting flat on it, so it shows from the front and from the side. Here the linked hearts curve over the rim, and \u003cstrong\u003ebecause they are open outlines, the look stays light even though the piece spans half an inch\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Longer Bar for the Rim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is 16 gauge, 1.2mm thick, which is the standard thickness for cartilage jewelry. The 1\/2 inch, 12mm bar is twice the length of a typical 1\/4 inch cartilage stud, which gives the hearts room to wrap the rim. Each end carries a 4mm ball that screws on; \u003cstrong\u003echeck them for snugness every few days of wear\u003c\/strong\u003e so neither works loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOpen Hearts Versus Solid Ones\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen outlines keep the look airy. Skin shows through the middle, so the piece never feels heavy on the ear, and \u003cstrong\u003ethe polished edges catch light from both sides of each heart\u003c\/strong\u003e. Solid hearts read sweet and young; linked outlines look more grown up, which is why this one suits a plain T-shirt as easily as a date night outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLinked Hearts Cuff Gift Ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it make a good Valentine gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e Search interest in heart jewelry jumps every January and February, and this is an easy pick for someone who already has an upper ear piercing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill both hearts face forward?\u003c\/strong\u003e They are linked at an angle, so one heart sits slightly in front of the other; that overlap is what makes them read as a pair rather than a single shape, and it adds depth seen from the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it sit in a stack?\u003c\/strong\u003e Nicely, as long as it has room.
