What makes clip-on earrings made of paper comfortable when actually worn?

The reason for choosing paper as a material is revealed in the numbers: a maximum of 1.6g, and under 2g per piece^[1]. While metal jewelry generally tends to pull on the earlobe or leave a stiff fatigue when worn for a long time, paper is extremely light relative to its volume, significantly reducing physical strain on the ear.

These clip-on earrings are made by YURAGU, an accessory brand launched in 2022 by Osada Paper Mill located in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture^[2]. For the material, Echizen paper, a traditional paper produced in Fukui Prefecture, was used^[3]. Traditional paper generally made by scooping raw materials such as paper mulberry has plant fibers densely intertwined with each other, giving it a tough tensile strength that is thin and light yet does not tear easily.

hmmm, without stopping at visually enjoying the delicate grain of paper, it connects to a practical usefulness where the ear remains comfortable even after wearing it all day.
