Cartilage and lobe hoops/studs

SouthWestmom · 25/04/2020 19:14

Where can I get nice ones? I found the local piercing places good quality but limited and some were quite industrial or less pretty than I wanted.

I've exhausted Astrid and Miyu - I quite like the teeny clickers but at £35 each I don't love them.

Orelia have lovely earrings but nothing for cartilege

Don't trust Claire's.

I have daith - happy to leave alone.
Forward helix
Conch - currently a hoop, not sure if I can remove it Shock myself
Three lobe piercings each side

I've had quite few earrings from Galleria Armadoro , they're not particularly cheap but nicely made.

Thanks - seems quite similar to Astrid and Miyu? Not sure if they will ship from the EU at the moment?

Not sure on budget but try Laura Bond and Seol & Gold for more typical ear piercing jewellery then Anatometal, Auris, BVLA and Maria Tash who are specific piercing brands.

Thank you. I looked at Maria Tash in Libertys - lovely but so expensive. I spend around 10-40 per piece of jewellery (hoop or barbel) - currently have some lovely huggies and want some nicer bits to swap in and out

Seol and gold is great thank you. That's two new ones to use (will wait for pandemic to calm down before trying the EU one)

Also check Etsy, there’s normally quite a few nice bits on there too!

Try by nouck. They have some really nice ones.

SouthWestmom · 26/04/2020 10:32

Thank you, I'm never sure with Etsy on quality etc - it's quite tricky to know with online shops which are trustworthy

Wildcat have good quality stainless steel, titanium and precious metals jewellery. It's reasonably priced, too.

Metal Morphosis in TopShop (Oxford Street) . There's a branch in Hackney but not such a range of pretty pieces .

I am promising myself a tragus or daith (long story but I want to reward myself Grin )

But I'm waiting till after Lockdown till I can get my haircut then I'll go.
My DD used to have a Helix, the hairdresser caught it with the comb between the stud and skin ouch , this puts me off .
I can manage a 6 month gap after a haircut till the next one to let it settle .

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/04/2020 13:01

Ah , not too sure how much online MM do

SouthWestmom · 26/04/2020 14:01

Yikes that's painful!

My ds caught my outer helix and it never recovered. It's the only time I gave up on one.

I just can't find anything pretty that covers a mix of gold and silver - I'm not that invested that I want to spend £300 on a piercing jewellery.

Almost my entire earring collection is Serenity.
