Piercing Earrings
FAQs
What materials are safe for ear piercings?
For a fresh piercing, it's important to use hypoallergenic and biocompatible metals like implant-grade titanium. Once your piercing is fully healed, you have more options. Our pieces are made from Sterling Silver and 18K Gold-Plated Sterling Silver, both hypoallergenic and safe for everyday wear on healed piercings.
Are these piercings sold individually or in pairs?
All styles come in pairs, so you get 2 pieces per order, one for each ear. That goes for both the flat back styles and the piercing hoops. If you want to mix styles across both ears, check out our earring sets for curated combinations.
What's the difference between barbell and hoop piercings?
Barbell piercings have a straight post with a decorative front and a small ball that screws onto the back to secure it. Hoops are a continuous ring that goes through the piercing. Barbells are more discreet and sit flush against the ear, while hoops are more visible and can range from simple to statement.
What ear piercing hurts the most?
It depends on the location. Cartilage piercings tend to hurt more than lobe piercings since the tissue is thicker. But pain is different for everyone. If you want a full breakdown, check out our guide to the least and most painful ear piercings.
