The Ultimate Guide to Styling Your Helix Hoops Piercing with Shemisli Jewels

When it comes to ear piercings, the helix is one of the most popular and versatile choices. Whether you're getting your first cartilage piercing or adding to a growing ear stack, helix hoops are the perfect addition to elevate your style. At Shemisli Jewels, we offer a range of helix hoop earrings to suit every taste, from minimalistic designs to sparkling statement pieces.

What is a Helix Piercing?

A helix piercing is located on the upper part of your ear's cartilage. Unlike earlobe piercings, which are usually soft and fleshy, cartilage piercings are more durable and offer the opportunity for unique jewelry styles. A helix hoop can give this piercing an extra edge and can be worn with different looks to match your personality.

Why Choose Helix Hoops?

Comfort and Durability: Helix hoops are often crafted from high-quality materials such as titanium or 14k gold. These materials are not only hypoallergenic, making them ideal for sensitive skin, but they also stand the test of time. You’ll love the ease of wearing hoops that are both lightweight and sturdy, perfect for daily wear.

Endless Styling Possibilities: One of the main reasons people gravitate toward helix piercings is the ability to customize the look with various jewelry options. At Shemisli Jewels, our collection of helix hoops features a variety of designs. Whether you prefer a minimalist vibe or want something more eye-catching, there’s a perfect hoop for every helix piercing.

Express Your Individual Style: Helix piercings are a great way to express your style. They can be worn individually or stacked with other cartilage piercings for a layered, chic look. With Shemisli Jewels' collection, you can easily add multiple hoops, mix different metals, or choose from a variety of gemstones for a unique and personalized ear stack.

Different Types of Helix Hoops

Classic Hoops: Our classic helix hoops offer a timeless, sleek look. They are perfect for those who want something simple yet elegant, without going over the top. These hoops can be paired with any outfit, from casual to formal.

Gem-Embellished Hoops: For those who love a little extra sparkle, our gem-embellished helix hoops, sapphires, or colorful gemstones. These hoops not only enhance your piercing but also add a pop of color and sophistication.

Huggie Hoops: Huggie hoops are small, close-fitting hoops that "hug" the ear closely. They're ideal for those who prefer a discreet yet stylish option. Huggie hoops are subtle but still provide a polished, chic look that can be worn daily.

Customizable Hoops: Want to make your helix piercing truly yours? With our customizable hoop options, you can select the metal, size, and even choose stones to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your style.

How to Style Your Helix Piercing with Hoops

Solo Statement: Sometimes less is more. A single, simple helix hoop can stand out on its own, creating a minimalist yet striking look. This is perfect for those who love understated elegance.

Ear Stacking: One of the most popular ways to style helix hoops is by stacking them with other cartilage piercings. For example, combine your helix hoop with a forward helix piercing or a tragus hoop for a trendy and fashionable ear stack. This combination can create a beautifully curated ear and give your piercings a cohesive look.

Mixing Metals and Gems: For a bold, fashion-forward look, mix different metals or add gemstone accents to your hoops. This combination brings personality and flair to your piercing. Experiment with yellow gold, rose gold, or silver to find the best combination that complements your style.

Aftercare for Your Helix Piercing

Taking care of your helix piercing is essential to ensure it heals properly and looks its best with your new hoop. Here are a few aftercare tips to follow:

Clean Your Piercing
Use a saline solution to clean your helix piercing regularly, especially in the first few weeks after piercing. Be sure to avoid harsh chemicals and alcohol, as these can irritate the area.
Avoid Touching the Piercing
While it might be tempting to touch or twist your jewelry, avoid doing so until your piercing has healed completely. This helps reduce the risk of infection and irritation.
Be Gentle
When changing your hoop, ensure that your hands are clean and that you handle the jewelry gently. This prevents any unnecessary trauma to the piercing area.
Monitor Healing
Helix piercings typically take around 6 months to fully heal. During this time, ensure you keep the area clean and follow your piercer's aftercare advice for optimal results.

How to Choose the Right Size for Your Helix Hoop

Choosing the right size hoop is essential for comfort and style. Most helix piercings are done with a 16 gauge needle, so you'll want to select a hoop with a diameter that fits snugly but comfortably around your ear.

When selecting a hoop from Shemisli Jewels, consider the following:

Diameter: Measure the area around your piercing to ensure the hoop fits properly.
Fit: Choose a hoop that is neither too tight nor too loose to avoid discomfort or risk of the hoop falling out.
Style: Depending on your ear's anatomy, you may prefer a larger or smaller hoop. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different sizes until you find the perfect fit.

Whether you opt for a classic gold plated hoop, a gemstone-encrusted design, or a custom piece, Shemisli Jewels has the perfect option for you. With proper care and thoughtful styling, your helix piercing will become a standout feature of your overall look.
