Cartilage Earrings

Add sparkle and flair to your ear with our broad selection of solid 14k gold cartilage earrings, hoops, and studs — for helix, tragus, conch, rook, daith and every cartilage placement.

The Finest Cartilage Earrings & Ear Piercing Jewelry

"Cartilage earring" covers every piece that fits the firm upper areas of the ear — helix, forward helix, tragus, conch, rook, daith and more — which makes this our broadest ear collection and the best place to start. Every piece is handcrafted in nickel-free, solid 14k gold, internally threaded or threadless for comfort, and made to order so you can match the exact gauge and size your piercing needs (most cartilage sits at 16g or 18g). Mix and match to build your own look: flat-back studs that sit flush and stack cleanly, seamless hoops and clickers, captive bead and circular styles, plus gemstone and diamond options for sparkle. Because cartilage placements each have their own quirks, we offer a huge range of diameters and lengths — and you can custom-order sizing if you're between options. Prefer to shop by placement? Jump to helix, tragus, or conch for a curated selection, or explore diamond cartilage for the premium end. Whichever piercing you're adorning, you're getting fine jewelry that's ethically handmade in California and built to last.

Shop by placement: helix earrings, tragus jewelry, conch, diamond cartilage, and flat back earrings. Learn more in our cartilage piercing guide.
