Ear Jewellery

About

Ear Jewellery at SkinKandy Ear jewellery at SkinKandy covers piercing jewellery for every ear placement, from lobes to cartilage, in Titanium, Surgical Steel and Gold. It includes studs, hoops, flatbacks, segment rings and curved barbells, with gauges ranging from 20G for a first lobe piercing through to 14G for an industrial bar. This collection suits anyone building out an ear curation, whether that's a first set of lobe studs or a fully stacked ear of helix, tragus, conch and daith piercings. With so many placements and styles to choose from, our piercing specialists can help you plan a stack that works for your ears. What jewellery styles are available for ear piercings? Ear jewellery spans studs, hoops, flatbacks, ballbacks, segment rings, curved barbells and horseshoes, depending on the placement. Lobe piercings typically wear studs, sleepers or segment rings , while cartilage placements like helix , conch and rook are best suited to flatbacks over butterfly-back closures. Tragus piercings are also recommended in flatbacks, while daith and anti-tragus piercings suit curved barbells, horseshoes and segment rings instead. Industrial piercings use a single long barbell that spans two helix points, giving a completely different look to a curated stack of smaller pieces. What gauge do I need for different ear placements? Gauge varies by placement, so it's worth checking before you buy rather than assuming one size fits all your ears. First, second and third lobe piercings are typically 18G or 20G, while most cartilage placements including helix, conch, rook, tragus and anti-tragus sit at 16G with a 6mm or 8mm post once healed. Industrial piercings are 14G, spanning 34mm to 38mm across the two points, while daith piercings use a 16G ring at 8mm to 10mm diameter. Our piercing specialists measure every placement individually, since anatomy varies from ear to ear. What materials are available for ear jewellery?
