There are endless styling options for your ear stack. In this article, we'll give you an overview of the different ear piercings and explain what to look for when purchasing piercing jewelry .
Helix Piercing
The helix piercing is one of the most popular ear piercings. It is located on the upper outer edge of the auricle. The position can vary depending on the anatomy. Both rings and labret studs can be worn as helix piercings. The inner diameter of rings is usually 8 mm to 10 mm.
Conch Piercing
A conch piercing can be pierced or punched through the auricle. There are two types: inner conch and outer conch. A labret stud or ring can also be worn here. The diameter of the conch ring should be at least 10-12 mm, depending on the anatomy of the ear.
Tragus Piercing
The tragus piercing covers the external ear canal. It is a small, triangular piece of cartilage. It can accommodate either a labret stud or a small clicker ring.
Rook Piercing
The rook piercing is a vertical piercing and is pierced through a small cartilage fold in the auricle. Clicker rings are ideal for this piercing. A 6mm to 8mm segment ring is ideal.
Daith Piercing
Lobe Piercing
The lobe piercing is the lowest piercing on the earlobe. It's the most popular and most frequently pierced piercing. You can choose whether you want it pierced with a gun or a needle. Almost all types of earrings can be worn in this area, from large hoops to subtle studs.
High Lobe Piercing
The high lobe piercing is also located on the earlobe. This is the second, third, or sometimes even the fourth ear piercing. Studs or rings of various sizes can be worn.
Types of ear piercings
All piercings can be worn individually or combined to create various "ear stacks." The ear offers the most piercing options of any body part. Some piercings are available in double and triple versions, where the same piercing is pierced two or three times in a row.
A distinction is made between cartilage piercings and piercings through fatty tissue. All piercings, except earlobe piercings, penetrate the cartilage tissue. Earlobe piercings are technically called lobe piercings or high lobe piercings . Piercings through cartilage tissue include the helix , conch , rook , tragus , and daith.
Our piercing jewelry is usually not designed for a specific position, but can be worn in a variety of positions. For example, helix piercings can also be worn as lobe piercings. Additionally, pendants and chains can be attached and connected to each other, depending on the occasion and taste.
Piercing closures
Our piercing studs have an internal thread measuring 6mm in length and a bar thickness of 1.2mm. The internal thread and flat end make them ideal for everyday wear. The clasp can't get lost and the flat end makes them comfortable to wear.
Our clickers have a uniform ring thickness. Clicker rings can therefore be used in a wide variety of ways. The piercing jewelry with the click closure can be opened and closed at the top of the ring.
Hinged clasps are typically used for more elaborate earrings. In piercings with a hinged clasp, the ring itself is thicker than the point where the piercing is inserted into the piercing hole. With piercing jewelry with a hinged clasp, the earring can be opened in the middle.
Ear Piercing Materials
We use exclusively 585 gold and 585 white gold , set with zirconia stones , for our piercing jewelry. Gold is the highest quality material in the jewelry industry. It is waterproof and scratch-resistant and retains its shine for a lifetime. Our earrings are also hypoallergenic and nickel-free, so they can be worn daily without worry.
We deliberately chose 5A cubic zirconia stones because they not only have the same visual appearance as diamonds but also achieve a similar value on the Mohs hardness scale. Zirconia stones are rated at 8.5/10, while diamonds are rated at 10/10. By using gold and white gold in combination with cubic zirconia stones, we produce everyday jewelry that lasts forever at a relatively affordable price.
Piercing - Healing, Care and Pain
The pain from piercing through the fatty tissue of the earlobe is significantly less than from piercing through the cartilage. The same applies to the healing process. Every ear piercing and every person is different, which is why the pain can be perceived differently by each person.
Healing is heavily influenced by proper care. If proper care is neglected, the ear piercing can become infected and the healing process will be impaired. We've already published an article on piercing care , in which we explain exactly how to properly care for your piercings.
