This blog will help you flaunt helix earrings and covers everything from selecting pieces to mixing and matching for a cohesive style.

The Basics of Helix Earrings: What You Need to Know

Helix earrings have become quite the trend - if you're looking to elevate your style with a touch of unique flair they're the perfect addition to your jewellery collection. Located on the upper cartilage of the ear, helix piercings are a canvas for creativity - they compliment your other earrings and follow the natural curve of your ear.

Helix piercings can be singular or in multiples - allowing you to stack your piercings and individualise your overall look. The helix piercing may require a lengthier healing period compared to earlobe piercings due to the thickness of the cartilage. Times for healing piercings can vary between three to nine months based on how well you care for your new piercings as well as your body's response to them.

Camile & Stone offers a diverse collection of helix piercings whether you prefer to wear a classic stud, elegant hoops, cuffs or barbells. There's something for everyone and each piece is made with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. For piercings, we recommend opting for materials like gold, sterling silver and titanium to minimize the likelihood of irritation and to keep your earrings looking stunning for many years.

Choosing the Right Helix Earring Style for Your Piercing

The upper cartilage provides a platform for various earring styles - each contributing a distinct vibe to your overall appearance. When choosing your helix piercing, you want something that reflects your unique style while remaining both comfortable and on-trend.

• Studs - Opt for studs if you prefer a minimalist look or if it's your first helix piercing as studs heal up a little easier. They are simple, comfortable and suitable for everyday wear. Studs come in shapes ranging from round ones to more creative designs like stars, hearts or geometric patterns. You can always swap out your studs for other styles like hoops if you change your mind in the future.
• Hoops - For a trendy look consider hoops. Delicate thin hoops add sophistication while thicker or intricate designs make a bold statement. Hoops can be layered to create a curated ear design and look great with a stack of piercings. Camile & Stone's hoops are crafted from 18k gold, sterling silver and 18k rose gold to ensure quality and long-lasting beauty.
• Barbells - Straight or curved barbells are perfect if you're seeking a distinctive style. They provide a sleek appearance and can be embellished with gemstones or elaborate designs at the ends to enhance their appeal.
• Cuffs and Chains - If you're up for experimentation explore ear cuffs or chain-linked helix earrings - they offer an unconventional touch to your ear ensemble. Check out the Camile & Stone selection of delightful cuff earrings and exquisite chains to accentuate your look.

How to Style Helix Earrings with Other Ear Jewelry

Wearing helix earrings alongside your other ear jewellery can be a great way to put together a stylish look that reflects your personal taste. For a cohesive appearance, consider selecting a theme and sticking with similar metals or coordinating colors for all your earrings. 

It's important to strike a balance when mixing helix earrings - for instance, you could pair a helix hoop with more understated lobe studs to ensure your ear doesn't feel overwhelmed. Alternatively, delicate hoops might be best paired with bolder pieces on the lobe or tragus for added impact.

Mixing up shapes and sizes for an asymmetrical style is another way to go. Experiment by combining a helix hoop with asymmetric studs on the lobe for an interesting contrast. Play around with earring lengths by teaming a long drop earring on the lobe with a helix hoop for variety. Don't be afraid to experiment with layering techniques - like stacking hoops or mixing studs and cuffs along the ear for a layered effect.

Top Trends in Helix Earring Designs for a Modern Look

Lots of different helix piercings are trending right now! A popular choice is the versatile forward helix piercing, which sits on the space above the tragus and offers endless opportunities and modish combos. 

Constellation piercings are standouts - astrologically inspired and reminiscent of star clusters, they allow you to vertically build a stack of close-together earrings and are hot on the red carpet right now. 

Snakebites are making a comeback too - but not for your lips! As helix earrings, they take the form of two piercings placed close together and are a really cool way to personalise your look.

Caring for Your Helix Earrings: Tips for Comfort and Longevity

Taking care of your helix earrings is crucial for their comfort and durability. Here are some quick aftercare tips:

• Use a saline solution or mild cleanser to clean piercings every day, especially during the healing process.
• Avoid touching and twisting your earrings to prevent irritation and infections.
• Opt for materials like titanium, sterling silver, stainless steel or gold to reduce the chance of irritation.
• Make sure your earrings fit well - tight piercings can irritate, while loose ones might catch on things.
