Conch Piercing
Whether eye-catching conch rings or sparkling cubic zirconia stud, the Conch Piercing can be styled individually and uniquely. Everything you should know about the conch piercing you can find out here.
What is a Conch Piercing?
The name 'Conch' comes from 'Conch Shell'. As the name suggests, the conch piercing is located in the auricle. The conch piercing is pierced through the ear cartilage. In contrast to the helix piercing, the cartilage at the conch is much thicker, which is why it takes longer to heal.
A distinction is made between the Inner Conch Piercing and the Outer Conch Piercing. The Inner Conch is located further inside the auricle, and the Outer Conch is located a little further outside. Since the Outer Conch is closer to the outer edge of the ear, it is particularly suitable for wearing a ring. The Inner Conch, on the other hand, is ideal for Studs. Where exactly the Conch Piercing is placed depends on the individual shape of the ear and the visual preferences.
How painful is the Piercing?
Since the Conch Piercing is placed through a thick part of the ear cartilage, it is a more painful piercing. The pain is rated at approximately 7/10, but can vary depending on individual pain tolerance.
Dermal Punch
Stretching the auricle is very painful, which is why the 'Dermal Punch' method is often used for Conch Piercings. This involves using a type of cannula that punches out cartilage tissue instead of a typical piercing needle. The advantage of this method is the shortened healing time. The disadvantage is that the hole no longer closes because the tissue has been punched out.

How to clean a Daith Piercing?
Proper care of your Daith piercing is crucial for smooth healing. To clean the piercing, you can use a sterile saline solution or a special piercing care product. Contamination from environmental influences should be avoided. You can easily clean our Daith jewelry made of 14K gold with soap and water, or clean it with an ultrasonic cleaning device for deeper contamination. Use our free gold polishing cloth to give your Daith piercing a new shine.
The ideal Daith Piercing jewelry
The Daith Ring is the classic and most common jewelry for this piercing, as its round shape perfectly adapts to the shape of the ear. Rings set with shiny stones are also very popular. Furthermore, small bars can also be worn in the Daith Piercing. It is especially important that the jewelry not only looks aesthetic, but is also comfortable to wear in everyday life. With us you will find filigree and high-quality Daith Rings in different sizes that you can wear 24/7.
What diameter do I need for my Daith Piercing?
The Daith Piercing is available in several different sizes. It usually has an inner diameter of 8mm, 9mm, or 10mm. Before buying your Daith Piercing, you should check the individual anatomy of your ear 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 that it doesn't look too big or too small on your ear. If the Daith Ring is set with large stones, the piercing often looks larger than a simple gold ring.
Daith Piercing: Materials
Choosing the right material for your daith piercing is essential for smooth healing and, above all, for a comfortable wearing experience in everyday life. The most popular materials are gold, titanium or stainless steel. If you don't want to change your daith piercing every day in the shower, we recommend choosing real gold as the material. Ideally, the gold content should be 58.5% (14 carat), because 14K gold piercings retain their shine, regardless of whether you shower, swim or play sport. 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 best tolerated materials there is.

Here you will find many different daith designs and gold colors, whether simple rings or eye-catching pieces of jewelry with shiny zirconia stones. You can easily adapt your daith to your personal style so that it matches any outfit. Its central position on the ear makes it an eye-catcher and is guaranteed to attract everyone's attention. Our fine piercings also give your look a special elegance.
