A friend of mine was involved in a design class. For one of his projects, he designed a chain bracelet for a class project. He asked me if I could wear for it a couple of days to see how it holds up.

I wore it for a few days during my daily routine - going to class, typing on my laptop, and sleeping to see how it held up with everyday wear. By the third day, I noticed that the clasp sometimes came loose when I was moving around a lot, and the chain occasionally caught on sweater sleeves.

After a couple days, I have him that feedback, and he ended up switching to a more secure clasp and adjusted the links to make them a bit tighter. The revised version was much more durable and comfortable for daily wear!

To test the durability of the gold ear cuff, I would begin by wearing it in various everyday situations—like walking around campus, putting on and taking off headphones, or changing outfits—to see how it holds up during normal use. Additionally, I would gently take it on and off several times to test and check if it maintains its shape and fit.

Another factor I would consider is how it reacts to things like skin contact, sweat, or light moisture over time as someone with sensitive ears.

Throughout the process of wearing the ear cuff, I would actively take notes on any changes I notice—like if it loosens, bends, or loses its shine—so I can give useful feedback!
