Cartilage Earrings

Among the best types of cartilage earrings are sleepers, which are lightweight and can be worn on their own or with other hoops and studs. Sleepers are smaller than regular hoops and are available in different styles, including seamless hoops, which feature a tiny opening to ensure a more comfortable fit, and hinged hoops that click firmly into place. 

Helix studs, meanwhile, have a flat back to prevent the post from irritating the ear. Flat back cartilage earrings are secured by inserting the earring top into the flat back post and twisting it until it’s tightened. Because of this flat backing, helix studs are ideal for everyday wear, making them a comfortable choice for those who prefer to keep their earrings in.  

Both sleepers and cartilage studs come in a range of styles to suit everyone, whatever your desired aesthetic. Showcase your love of nature with a helix stud featuring a flower or snake. Or, add a minimal twist to a classic look with a set of diamond accent sleeper earrings or a sterling silver cartilage earring in a mini hoop.

Cartilage earrings offer remarkable versatility, allowing you to effortlessly transform your style in a number of ways. 

For a statement look, choose a cartilage earring with an eye-catching colour or symbol, such as a pink sapphire gem or an Evil Eye. Pair this with a set of mini hoops to give your style a sleeker feel. 

Match your cartilage earrings with other jewellery in the same precious metal for a stylish sense of symmetry. Opt for yellow gold cartilage earrings with a curb chain or pair a sterling silver cartilage hoop with a matching ring.  

Or combine timeless sophistication with contemporary style by pairing a diamond cartilage earring with a matching pendant. Echo the geometric beauty of a diamond bar stud with a bar necklace or use a solitaire diamond stud to accent a mini diamond solitaire pendant. 

Cartilage earrings can also be worn as part of an earring stack to create new and bold looks. Arrange sleepers from smallest to largest for a cascading effect or create a constellation of cartilage stud earrings featuring a range of precious metals, gemstones and meaningful symbols.
