Collection: Daith Piercings

Tucked away above the ear canal in the inner part of the ear, the daith piercing is an elegant embellishment in the cartilage. Its unique placement makes it a discreetly stylish option, easily hidden by hair, appealing to the modern aesthetic.

The process of obtaining this piercing does demand a level of bravery, given the degree of discomfort and the need for a specially designed needle. While the daith piercing is not exceedingly common, it stands as a testament to beauty and individuality for its bearers.

SELECTING THE PERFECT JEWELRY FOR YOUR DAITH PIERCING

When it comes to adorning your daith piercing, the ideal choices are a circular horseshoe or a clicker, both with a gauge thickness of 8 and 10mm. These pieces are custom-made to suit the daith piercing owing to its unique placement in the inner fold of the ear cartilage. The jewelry should be wide enough to avoid hindering the healing process but snug enough to ensure it doesn't move or get tangled in clothing.

Material-wise, jewelry made from ASTM-F136 grade titanium, gold, or sterling silver is advised to prevent allergic reactions and infections. It's crucial to steer clear of materials like surgical steel or copper that may lead to irritation and complications during the healing phase.

THE RIGHT TIME TO SWITCH YOUR DAITH JEWELRY

For the daith piercing, a waiting period of 1 to 2 months post-piercing is suggested before changing your initial jewelry. We highly recommend having this done under the careful guidance of a professional piercer.

THE HEALING TIMELINE FOR A DAITH PIERCING

The healing period for a daith piercing can differ from person to person, typically falling between 6 and 12 months. Throughout this time, it's vital to care for the wound properly and maintain optimal hygiene standards to avert infections and promote quicker healing.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A DAITH PIERCING

An intriguing aspect of the daith piercing is its potential as an acupressure point. Many chronic migraine sufferers have turned to this piercing in the belief that it may help manage their symptoms.

This theory purports that daith piercing stimulates the vagus nerve, a key nerve involved in multiple bodily functions, including pain and inflammation regulation. As a result, the frequency and intensity of migraines may decrease, while it could also alleviate symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

While this theory is supported by anecdotal evidence rather than scientific research, numerous individuals report significant relief from migraine symptoms after getting a daith piercing. It's important, however, to understand that results can vary, and a daith piercing is not a guaranteed solution to migraines.

DAITH PIERCING WITH HOOPS

Hoops represent a timeless, chic choice in any jewelry collection. Suitable for various parts of the ear like the cartilage (helix, tragus, conch...), lobe, or the daith, these pieces are sleek and versatile.

In the context of a daith piercing, medium-thickness hoops are often used. From the understated elegance of thin designs like the Creole to daily wear, these pieces can make a subtle, glamorous statement.

Alternatively, hoops can be more creatively styled with balls, beads, triple hoops, heart shapes, and more. If you prefer unconventional, bohemian, fantasy, or tribal aesthetics, these options may appeal to you!

Gold jewelry adorned with precious stones like mother-of-pearl, onyx, amethyst, diamond, opal, among others, can make a striking addition to your cartilage. In particular, white crystals lend a unique sparkle.

DAITH PIERCING WITH HORSESHOES

While the hoop is in vogue, a horseshoe-shaped jewel remains a trendy option for daith piercings. This piece lends a punk flair, and though less discreet, certain designs have a delicate aesthetic that can complement your look beautifully.

The size recommendation for a horseshoe mirrors that of a hoop. Smaller sizes could provide a more refined and sophisticated look.

Our online jewelry collection doesn't currently feature these jewels, but we continually update our range to cater to the diverse tastes of our customers.
