Cartilage Hoops
Cartilage hoops are small, close-fitting hoops made for upper-ear piercings such as the helix, conch and tragus. Our cartilage hoops come in plain, beaded and crystal-set designs to help you build the perfect curated ear.
Mix them with huggie earrings on the lobe, or add an ear cuff for a pierced look without a new piercing. Explore more in ear piercing jewellery.
What are cartilage hoops?
Cartilage hoops are small hoops designed for piercings in the firmer upper ear, such as the helix (outer rim), conch (inner shell) and tragus.
A brief history
Cartilage piercings have been practised in many cultures for centuries, but they surged in popularity in the 2010s with the rise of the curated ear, where several small pieces are styled together.
How to choose
A 6 to 8 mm hoop suits most helix piercings, while the conch often needs 10 to 12 mm. Only wear hoops in a cartilage piercing once it is fully healed, which can take several months.

The Amber James guide
All about Cartilage Hoops
What size hoop do I need for a helix?
Most helix piercings suit 6 to 8 mm hoops. If your piercing is further from the edge, try 9 to 10 mm.
Can I wear these in a new piercing?
No. Wait until your piercing is fully healed and check with your piercer before changing jewellery.
When can I wear a hoop in a new cartilage piercing?
Cartilage piercings take longer to heal than lobes, often several months. Always wait until your piercing is fully healed and follow your piercer's advice before changing jewellery.
