What can you wear in a conch piercing?
Flatback Labret
-
The standard conch piercing is located in a position that allows for both straight jewelry and circular jewelry
-
Virtually any style of cartilage jewelry can work in a conch piercing.
-
Generally, it is pierced with a labret. Oftentimes they have flat backs & they come in a vast range of finishes, lengths, and ends. They are also really comfortable. And a conch piercing is an excellent place for a labret - it showcases whatever end you choose.
Captive Bead Ring
-
These look fantastic wrapped around your ear and the conch is the perfect piercing to let you rock this look.
-
They’re unisex, easy to find in different finishes, and you can even grab a captive charm ring – one where the closure is a fancy charm instead of a bead.
-
This is a look that is always on-trend.
-
This may be a challenge to insert and remove on your own. You always have the option of having a piercer insert or remove it for you or you can use a pair of captive ring openers. Remember to be careful with that captive bead/charm and close the bathroom drain if you’re working over the sink!
Stud + Chain Combo
-
This is a straight stud combined with a chain that wraps around your ear. It gives you that circular jewelry look with the comfort and ease of a labret. Popular for giving an airy, boho look.
-
Keeps the ease and availability of straight jewelry with a style that’s easy to manage on your own
-
You can even mix up finishes and try different ends or chain styles and get a totally different look every time.
Clickers & Hinged Segment Rings
-
Perhaps you don’t want to deal with a captive ring, this is where clickers come in. Clickers are so easy! The latch design means you can literally hear the barbell click into place.
-
Clickers are a favorite because they come in endless varieties. (Straight or circular, different finishes, varying diameters, charms or no charms…the options are endless!)
-
If you prefer the same concept but don’t want to see the latch, perhaps a hinged segment ring is for you. These too come in a virtually endless array of styles and designs. Their seamless design means you cannot tell where they start and stop, and they still have the simple closure style of a clicker.
