Lobe Jewellery

Here are some guidelines for choosing jewellery for a healed piercing, adapted to your ear. Your piercer determines the dimensions for initial piercing jewellery.

Measure a hoop’s diameter on the inside, and a post’s wearable length between its functional ends, excluding the decorative element. Compare with jewellery that already fits you and have the measurement confirmed if you are unsure.

For more advice, see our lobe guide.

We like a slightly larger hoop in the first lobe piercing, with more delicate jewellery above it. This is a styling idea to adapt to each piercing’s distance from the edge.

The lobe suits studs, hoops and jewellery with chains. A small stud looks subtle in a second or third piercing; a hoop adds volume lower down. Pay particular attention to post thickness: 1.2 mm piercing jewellery will not automatically fit a piercing made for a thinner earring.

A lobe piercing generally takes at least 6 to 8 weeks, sometimes longer, to heal. A piercing high on the lobe, close to the cartilage, may take more time. Keep your initial piercing jewellery in place and have your piercer confirm healing before changing it.

The piercing procedure may cause a brief pinch followed by tenderness. Everyone experiences it differently; it is generally less intense than a cartilage piercing. A professional can explain the procedure and help you prepare.

Wait until your piercing has fully healed and have your piercer confirm this before changing jewellery for a different look. An ear that looks settled on the surface may still be fragile inside. Downsizing the post during healing is an adjustment carried out by your piercer, different from changing to decorative jewellery. The jewellery in this selection is for healed piercings.

Avoid sleeping directly on this piercing while it heals. A pillow with a hole, with your ear resting in the opening, may reduce pressure. Afterwards, only resume if the contact feels comfortable: even with a healed piercing, jewellery must not press into your ear during the night.

Wash your hands before aftercare. Use a sterile saline wound wash containing 0.9 % sodium chloride, then gently dry with a clean disposable gauze pad. Do not rotate the jewellery, and avoid alcohol, essential oils and friction. If pain increases, redness spreads or you develop a fever, seek medical advice promptly.

Yes, absolutely: our jewellery is designed to let you build your ear stack freely, from your first to your third healed lobe piercing. Choose the shapes and volumes you love, with a post suited to your piercing.

Hypoallergenic and nickel-free, our titanium is laboratory-tested. It is resistant to the darkening associated with 925 silver, resistant to rust and highly resistant to tarnishing. It is designed to retain its shine over time with everyday wear, including showering or exercising, when worn in healed piercings. After swimming in the sea, rinse your jewellery with fresh water and dry it thoroughly.

Gold-tone brings warmth to your ear stack; the white-gold-coloured finish gives it bright, light reflections with a chrome-like appearance. This describes the colour: the base material is still titanium. A styling tip: bluish or purplish veins may point towards cool tones, while greenish veins may point towards gold-tone. It's a styling guide, not a rule: try both near your face in natural light.

Lobe piercings are often narrower than cartilage piercings. Our stud earrings therefore have 0.8 mm posts, compared with 1.2 mm for our piercing studs, to suit as many people as possible.

Yes, for healed piercings. Our titanium jewellery is resistant to rust and highly resistant to tarnishing. Its EverGold coating is designed to help preserve its shine and colour over time with everyday wear.

After showering or exercising, rinse your jewellery if necessary and dry it thoroughly. For activities where jewellery could snag or be pulled, choose a suitable jewellery arrangement.

You have 30 days after receipt to request a return.

Our titanium is hypoallergenic and contains no nickel, making it a suitable choice for sensitive ears.

Yes, in a healed piercing and with well-fitting jewellery. The jewellery must not cause pressure or discomfort during the night. While the piercing is healing, avoid sleeping directly on it.

Start with a bolder piece in your first piercing, then choose more delicate jewellery for the next ones. You can also play with lengths, for example a hoop, a chain in the middle, then a small stud.

Finally, echo shapes, stones or details across your jewellery to keep your ear stack harmonious.

Choose a piece that adds volume, such as the large Soline hoop, then complete the look with our non-piercing jewellery. An ear cuff at the conch adds a point of light in the middle of your ear without another piercing.

After removing your jewellery, clean it with lukewarm water and a little mild soap, rinse, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive products and cosmetics.
