Conch Earrings

A conch piercing is a stylish cartilage piercing located in the middle part of the ear, within the inner or outer conch area. Named after the ear's resemblance to a conch shell, this piercing offers a unique and stylish way to accessorise your ear stack.

The Inner ear conch piercing is more suited to a single spike or stud while outer ear conch piercing allows a hoop to be worn.

It varies from person to person but anything from 3 to 6 months is standard as cartilage piercings take much longer to heal than fleshy lobe piercings. Do not change your original conch piercing until it has fully healed.

Regularly clean daily with a saline solution and take care not to touch the piercing. Its best to avoid chemicals such as perfumes and hair products in the area around the piercing. The first few months are vital to ensure the piercing heals as quickly as possible - but its worth the wait! Finally, when sleeping we always advise to use a travel pillow to sleep on for side sleepers, as this ensures the fresh piercing does not rub during the night.

The best earrings for a conch piercing are designed for both style and comfort. Depending on your preference, you can choose from a more visible conch hoop earring or the subtler conch stud earring, both of which enhance the look of your piercing while ensuring a secure fit. Conch Hoop Earrings – A conch hoop earring wraps around the outer ear cartilage and helix, creating a bold and stylish statement. Available in gold conch earrings and sterling silver conch earrings, hoops add a bold look to your ear stack. If you prefer a more minimal look, a flat-back conch stud earring is an excellent choice. These earrings sit flush against the back of the cartilage for a really comfortable fit day and night.

Our flat back stud earrings sit flush against the back of the cartilage for a really comfortable fit day and night. Scream Pretty flatbacks are fitted from the back of the ear and the front simply screws in from the front, and are far less fiddly than those you have to tighten from the back. All our conch earrings are hypoallergenic, crafted from high-quality materials of recycled sterling silver and plated in rhodium or 18 carat gold. Whether you’re looking for a sleek hoop or a classic stud, our collection offers the perfect conch earring to complement your style.
