Piercing Chains

Our chains are generally worn at the conch, helix or lobe, depending on the design. The length to choose depends on the placement and how you want the chain to hang.

Check each product page for details of the dimensions and fitting options available. The chain should retain a little slack around the piercing or between the pieces it connects.

No, you can also wear a chain around a single piercing: depending on the design, both ends attach to the same piece of jewellery to form a loop. Two piercings are only needed if you want to connect two separate piercings.

Our chains are intended for healed piercings. Movement and snagging can pull on the jewellery. Wait until the piercing has healed and seek your piercer's advice before adding an accessory to a recent piercing.

A chain is more likely to catch on hair, clothing or equipment. On a threadless stud, the end is held in place by a push-fit connection and may come loose if pulled. However, this does not guarantee that it will release before injuring your ear; a threaded fastening does not protect against snagging either.

For sleeping or activities where the chain could be pulled, the safest approach is to remove the chain while keeping the supporting jewellery suited to your piercing in place.
