Conch Piercing
Whether it's eye-catching conch rings or sparkling zirconia stud earrings, conch piercings can be styled individually and uniquely. Find out everything you need to know about conch piercings here.
What is a Conch Piercing?
The name ‘conch’ comes from ‘conch shell’, which means ‘sea snail’. As the name suggests, the conch piercing is located in the concha of the ear. The conch piercing is pierced through the ear cartilage. In contrast to the helix piercing, the cartilage at the conch location is significantly thicker, which is why it takes longer to heal.
A distinction is made between inner conch piercings and outer conch piercings. The inner conch is located further inside the ear, while the outer conch is slightly further outside. Because the outer conch is closer to the outer edge of the ear, it's particularly well-suited for wearing a ring. The inner conch, on the other hand, is ideal for studs. Where the conch piercing is done depends on the individual shape of the ear and aesthetic preferences.
How painful is the Piercing?
Since the conch piercing is done in a thick part of the ear cartilage, it is a rather painful piercing. The pain is rated at about 7/10, but can vary depending on individual pain sensitivity.
Dermal Punch
Stretching the ear lobe is very painful, which is why the ‘dermal punch’ method is often used for conch piercing. This method does not use a typical piercing needle, but rather a type of cannula that punches out cartilage tissue. The advantage of this method is the shorter healing time. The disadvantage is that the hole does not close up again because the tissue has been cut out.
The ideal Conch Piercing Jewelry
Conch jewelry is available in many different designs. From simple gold studs to sparkling earrings with zirconia stones to eye-catching conch rings, conch piercings can be used to create unique styles. Here you'll learn what to consider when choosing jewelry, what size to choose, and which materials are best suited.
How do you clean a Daith Piercing?
Proper care of your daith piercing is crucial for smooth healing. You can use a sterile saline solution or a special piercing care product to clean the piercing. Environmental contamination should be avoided. Our 14k gold daith jewelry can be easily cleaned with soap and water, or, for deeper contamination, with an ultrasonic cleaner. Our free gold polishing cloth will restore your daith piercing to its former glory.
The ideal Daith Piercing Jewelry
The daith ring is the classic and most common jewelry choice for this piercing, as its round shape adapts perfectly to the shape of the ear. Rings studded with shiny stones are also very popular. Small bars can also be worn in daith piercings. It's especially important that the jewelry not only looks aesthetically pleasing but is also comfortable to wear every day. We offer delicate, high-quality daith rings in various sizes that you can wear 24/7.
What diameter do I need for my daith piercing?
Daith piercings come in several different sizes. They typically have an inner diameter of 8mm, 9mm, or 10mm. Before purchasing a daith piercing, you should consider your individual ear anatomy and the thickness of your inner cartilage fold to find the right inner diameter. You should also pay attention to the size of the design so it doesn't look too big or too small on your ear. If the daith ring is set with large stones, the piercing often appears larger than a plain gold ring .
Daith Piercing: Materials
Choosing the right material for your daith piercing is essential for smooth healing and, above all, for a comfortable everyday wear. The most popular materials are gold, titanium, or stainless steel. If you don't want to change your daith piercing every day while showering, we recommend choosing real gold. The gold content should ideally be 58.5% (14 karat), as 585 gold piercings retain their shine, whether you're showering, swimming, or exercising. You can wear them 24/7 and never have to take them off. Say goodbye to irritation or discoloration, because gold is hypoallergenic and one of the most well-tolerated materials available.
Styling and different looks
We offer a wide range of daith designs and gold colors, from simple rings to eye-catching pieces with sparkling zirconia stones . You can easily customize your daith to your personal style, ensuring it complements any outfit. Its central location on the ear makes it a real eye-catcher and guaranteed to draw attention. Our delicate piercings also add a special touch of elegance to your look.
