Proxima Centauri was discovered in 1915 and is the nearest known star to the Sun. Although it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, Proxima is a flare star that undergoes random dramatic increases in brightness because of magnetic activity. The Proxima Ear Cuff can be worn as a septum ring or an ear cuff, no piercing required. Can be slightly adjusted with a light pinch to fit more snuggly. Shine bright in this delicate yet bold cuff.
