Where to find ear piercing jewelry

Conch piercings are on the rise in popularity, and it's easy to see why. Ear piercing jewelry in the shape of a shell can be both bright and delicate and properly emphasize your unique style. At Pierced.co we have some of the most incredible finds when it comes to the best shell ear jewelry and we are the preferred seller for this style!

What is a Conch Piercing?

Stylists named the conch piercing after the conch shell, which somewhat resembles the shape of an ear. The piercing jewelry used for these specific piercings is usually worn on the inner or outer crease of the ear. A conch piercing is different from a traditional ear piercing because it doesn't just pierce the earlobe.

Concha piercing occurs in the cup-shaped part of the ear near the ear canal, piercing the cartilage. The piercing of the external concha occurs through the flat part of the ear between the antihelix and the volute, and, as a rule, jewelry-rings are worn.

Which earring goes with the sink?

The type of ear piercing jewelry you choose is mostly individual. Like many other types of body jewelry, there is plenty of room for personal expression.

Whether you are traditional, trendy, modern or sophisticated, you have your own jewelry style. At Pierced.co, we have a variety of respected designers to choose from such as Junipurr Jewelry, BVLA, Maria Tash and Buddha Jewelry Organics. We highly recommend that you invest in gold jewelry. Sometimes people have allergic reactions to other metals and materials.

We also offer threadless or press fittings. This type of ear piercing jewelry fits your ear well and people often find it much more comfortable.

Flat back shell studs are a popular piece of jewelry that looks stylish. Often people get shell studs studded with gems. It can be exquisite jewelry that really brings out your personality! Always buy a labret or flat back studs as shell studs can irritate the skin.

Barbells are another option. They add quirkiness and are popular ear piercing jewelry options for people who want to make a statement with their looks. The bars are both straight and curved. You can also opt for bead rings, in which the bead appears to be hanging around the ear.

Clicker rings or shell hoops are a great choice for those who want to change their earrings frequently. Clicker rings snap on and come in a variety of styles and colors.

Our Favorite Conch Piercing Jewelry

What gauge is the conch piercing?

Most concha piercings are size 16, but the size depends on the shape of your ear. Consult a professional piercer before purchasing ear piercing jewelry. Let them know what you're looking for and they can make recommendations and measure your piercing to make sure you're sitting correctly.

What are conch piercing jewelry made of?

We strongly believe that your first ear piercing jewelry should be gold. Too many people have allergic reactions to jewelry metals and materials, and you don't want the piercing to become inflamed.

If gold isn't for you, go for something with minimal risk, such as titanium, silver, platinum, or stainless steel. Some people later change their piercing to something less traditional, like plastic or glass. Show your expression! But it's still good to always be alert and look for signs of an allergic reaction.

Does Concha Piercing Affect Hearing?

A conch piercing will not affect your hearing unless you get an infection. Be sure to select a reputable piercing studio and ask questions about equipment sanitization and sterilization procedures. If you are not satisfied, find another studio for your piercing needs.

Make sure piercing needles are not reused. Reusing needles is the number one way to spread infection. If possible, check the piercing station to make sure it meets your standards.

Aftercare is essential

Another way to protect your conch piercing is to follow the appropriate care guidelines. Clean the puncture site regularly to prevent infection, and turn your jewelry over to keep it from sticking.

Consult a professional before changing jewelry for the first time. You want to make sure it heals properly.

If you suspect any infection, be sure to contact the piercing studio. Conch piercings often take several months to heal. If you stick to the routine, you will enjoy a fantastic new piercing for the rest of your life. If you choose not to follow the rules, you may have a painful, infected piercing that is not only visually unsuitable, but can also negatively affect your hearing.

Ear piercings are all the rage these days, and it's easy to see why. You can decorate the inner or outer shell of your ear with any pretty ear piercing jewelry.

Do your due diligence before proceeding with the procedure. Visit the piercing studio of your choice and make sure it's clean. Check out the different jewelry options and take into account the shape of the ear itself. Consult with a professional about what will look best on you. There is a galaxy of incredible jewelry options available at our local studios and online. We continue to be the leading supplier of quality and original jewelry.
