9 Types of Cartilage Earrings And Style Ideas

1. Hoop

If you prefer a minimal yet elegant style, then you should go for the hoop cartilage earrings.

TheViewsandCo styled their model with a gold cartilage hoop on her helix, a double hoop cuff on her conch and lastly an open hoop earring on her lobe.

2. Double Hoop

Sometimes, less is more. Here we have two models rocking the double hoop cartilage earring style.

AMYO Jewelry designed this plain gold double hoop cartilage earrings with a clicker hinge that is easy for everyday wear.

If you prefer something that sparkles, then you will like this cubic zirconia diamond studded double hinge cartilage hoop made by DesignByJamin.

3. Flat Back

An alternative to the hoop earrings is the flat back cartilage earrings.

They are more comfortable to wear long term because of the large flat finish behind your ears, and they won’t get caught on your hair or scratch your skin.

Estella Collection has a variety of flat black studs in their collection and they are internally threaded.

To fasten, you have to screw on your charms onto the stud.

As for AMYO Jewelry, they have a different mechanics where you slide in a thinner pole and click it in place through the stud pole as shown in the video below.

4. Fake

Do you want to wear a cartilage earrings without the commitment to get a piercing?

You can opt for a retractable hoops as designed by The Hexad in the video below.

If you prefer something solid, then you can rock this gold ear cuff made by One18Art.

5. Dangle Chain

Moving on, if you like movement that catch light with every head spin you make, then you try a dangle chain cartilage earrings.

Here we have a minimalist layered chain cartilage earrings made by GoyaSilverJewelry.

Next, we have a simple stud earring with single cubic zirconia hanging on a chain tassel made by Jingfulian.

Maria Tash showered the model with diamond drop stud earrings that adds elegance to her ear.

You can also go for this C-shape Tassel Rhinestone Clip earring for a fake cartilage piercing look by JDCreationStudioCo.

But if you do have a helix piercing then this helix hoop clicker by Empuria is a more secure option for you.

6. Spiral

A spiral cartilage earring gives an illusion of wearing two earrings on your ear.

ErietyJewels made a spiral helix ear piercing that can be worn on the ear lobe as well.

7. Star

For more personality, you can look for a space themed star cartilage earrings as designed by Gleamy Day.

Vellismith made this beautiful North Star earring that fix on your upper cartilage piercing.

This hidden helix celestial stud earring by TreasureThoughts features a dangling moon, star and diamond on chains.

8. Snake

If you are more of a mysterious and dangerous girlie vibe, then you should check out the snake cartilage earring piece I have found.

ChicBianca made this tiny flat back tragus snake ear stud that is a dream for the minimalist people.

Or you can make a statement with this dazzling Snake Industrial Barbell earring by GlemJewels.

9. Hello Kitty

Don’t be afraid to be cute. Show your fandom with a custom Hello Kitty cartilage earrings as shared by sweetsanrio.

10. Turquoise
