boucles d’oreilles courtes

The style of these earrings fits close to the ear lobe, as opposed to dangling ones. On pourrait également évoquer leur forme discrète permettant de les associer à toutes les tenues, mais le côté discret semble difficile à concilier avec leur look impertinent, exprimé juste auparavant avec l’adjectif « sassy ».

Merci !
neutral Sheila Wilson : I thought that likely from the term given, but it doesn't fit at all with the rows and bar in the context

petites créoles

I'm not quite sure this is the way to deal with it - but I guess Sheila is right - and "clous d'oreilles" just does not fit with snap bar closure...
So these earrings must be some small "créoles" that are very closed to the ear - none of those huge dangling ones :-) See links, sorry for the confusion...
