Collection: Helix Piercings

If you're looking to add a subtle yet impactful touch to your style, the helix piercing might just be your next go-to accessory. Nestled in the upper cartilage of the ear, this small but powerful piece of jewelry instantly transforms any look into a bold style statement. But before you dive in headfirst (or should I say "ear first"?), there are a few details you need to know to truly shine with your new piercing.

What Jewelry Should You Choose for Your Helix Piercing?

When it comes to choosing the perfect piece of jewelry for your helix piercing, think practical, chic, and a little bit daring.

Studs: Imagine a tiny point of light that catches the eye without screaming, "Look at me!" Studs are perfect for that. These little wonders come in gold, silver, or titanium (because, let's face it, you deserve the best). Whether you go for a minimalist design or something a bit more dazzling with gemstones, studs always hit the mark.

Rings: For those who love a touch of delicacy with a hint of boldness, the ring is your best friend. Whether it's a simple gold hoop or a more intricate piece with ornamental details, the helix ring knows how to elevate your ear game. It's like giving your ear a little crown without the royal weight.

When Should You Change Your Helix Jewelry?

Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to piercings. Wait at least three months before considering a jewelry change. Why? Because your ear needs time to adjust to that new piece of metal before you start playing around with it.

Once this period has passed, you can move on to the fun part of swapping out your jewelry. But remember: clean hands, disinfected jewelry, and, if possible, a quick visit to your favorite piercer to make sure everything goes smoothly.

How Long for Full Healing?

Ah, the healing process—a sweet mix of patience and attentive care. The healing time for a helix piercing typically ranges between 6 to 12 months. During this time, adopt a rigorous hygiene routine, avoid tight headphones (sorry, favorite playlist), and keep an eye out for any signs of irritation or infection. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t hesitate to consult a professional.

Rings or Studs: Which Style to Choose?

The big question: rings or studs?

For a Casual Look: Go for a simple, minimalist ring that blends seamlessly with your everyday style while adding a touch of understated elegance.

For a Glamorous Look: Try a stud adorned with gemstones or other decorative elements. Perfect for shining bright during your night out (or just to add a bit of everyday glamour, because why not?).
