Piercing de aro con piedras

Choosing the correct size for your hoop piercing with stones is crucial to ensure both comfort and aesthetic appearance. The ideal size depends on the specific location of the piercing on your ear and your personal preferences on how you want the hoop to look.

• For common piercings like the lobe or helix, the most popular diameters usually range between 6 mm and 12 mm.
• In the case of a hoop earring with stones for the tragus or daith, which are smaller areas, you will likely need smaller diameters, often between 6 mm and 8 mm.
• If you want a snug hoop, measure the distance from the hole to the edge of your ear. If you prefer a looser fit or if your piercing is in a wider area like the conch, opt for larger diameters.

It is recommended to know the measurements of a hoop that already feels comfortable to you, or consult a professional at EarCandy for an accurate measurement and to ensure the hoop with stones fits perfectly.

Generally, it is not recommended to use a hoop piercing with stones, or any hoop, in a newly made piercing.

• During the healing period, it is advised to use straight bar jewelry (labrets or barbells) that allow minimal movement and reduce irritation of the piercing channel.
• Hoops, especially if they are hoop earrings with stones, can move constantly, increasing the risk of infection, swelling, and the dreaded "piercing bump" or keloid.
• Additionally, jewelry with stones can have more places to accumulate bacteria or get caught on clothing and hair.

Once your piercing has fully healed (the time varies depending on the location, for example, the helix takes 3 to 6 months), you can switch to your beautiful hoop piercing with stones. Patience is key for successful healing!

At EarCandy, the collection of hoop piercings with stones is designed to offer a variety of styles that suit any taste and ear location. Our designs combine the elegance of the hoop with the sparkle of the gems.

• "Clicker" Hoops: They are very popular for their ease of opening and closing, perfect for the septum, daith, or lobe area. They feature a row of embedded stones that add continuous sparkle.
• Hoops with Hanging Gems (Dangle): These add movement and a more dramatic touch, ideal for the lobe or conch if you want your hoop piercing with stones to be the center of attention.
• Fixed-Setting Hoops: The stones are firmly set in the hoop, ensuring security and a neat finish, excellent for the helix or tragus where a subtle sparkle is desired.

In general, yes, you can exercise with your hoop piercing with stones, but you should take certain precautions, especially if your piercing is recent.

• Avoid contact sports where the hoop could be hit or pulled, which could damage the ear or cause the hoop to open and get lost.
• If you swim, pool chlorine or sea salt can be abrasive to both the metal and the sparkle of the stones, as well as a potential risk if the piercing is not 100% healed. It is better to remove the hoop piercing with stones or at least clean it thoroughly afterward.
• During exercise, sweating can cause dirt to accumulate around the stones. A quick and gentle cleaning after physical activity will help keep your jewelry spotless.

The key is to minimize exposure to chemicals and physical stress on the hoop piercing with stones.

Although EarCandy’s hoop piercings with stones are made with high-security settings, the risk of a stone falling out or getting scratched always exists, especially with constant use or strong impacts.

• Precious stones like diamonds are extremely hard (hardness 10 on the Mohs scale), but other semi-precious stones may be more susceptible to scratching or chipping.
• Accidental knocks can loosen the prongs of the setting, which can cause the stone to be lost.

To protect your jewelry: regularly check that the stones in your hoop piercing with stones are secure; avoid contact with hard surfaces, and consider removing it for sleeping or intense activities. We offer maintenance services to ensure your hoop stays like new.
