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.
