イヤリング

In Japanese, イヤリング specifically refers to clip-on earrings (without piercing), while ピアス refers to earrings for pierced ears.

IMPORTANT DISTINCTION:

• イヤリング: Clip-on, no piercing required
• ピアス: For pierced ears only

This is opposite to English usage where 'earring' is the general term and can refer to both types.

COMMON COLLOCATIONS:

• イヤリングをつける (to put on clip-on earrings)
• イヤリングを外(はず)す (to remove clip-on earrings)

TYPES:

• クリップ式(しき)イヤリング (clip-style)
• ネジ式(しき)イヤリング (screw-back style)
• マグネットイヤリング (magnetic clip-on)
