Piercing de aro oro amarillo
Is EarCandy's yellow gold suitable for newly pierced piercings?
At EarCandy, we prioritize the health and comfort of your skin. The yellow gold we use for our hoop piercings (usually 14k or 18k) is considered safe for healed piercings. For an initial piercing, we always recommend following your piercer's instructions, who often suggest materials like implant-grade titanium. Once the piercing is fully healed, the yellow gold hoop piercing is an excellent choice thanks to its hypoallergenic properties and resistance to tarnish.
How can I make sure to choose the correct size for my yellow gold hoop earring?
The size of the hoop is crucial for comfort and aesthetics. For a yellow gold hoop piercing, you should consider the location of the piercing (helix, lobe, tragus, etc.) and the distance between the hole and the edge of your ear. Here is a quick guide:
- Measure the space: Use a ruler or caliper to measure the space from the piercing to the edge.
- Common diameters: Small hoops (6-8 mm) are ideal for the tragus or helix, offering a snug fit. Medium hoops (10-12 mm) work well for the lobe or conch.
- Check the product specifications: In each listing of our yellow gold hoop piercing, you will find the exact measurements of the diameter and metal thickness so you can compare with your current piercings.
What types of closures do yellow gold hoop piercings have and which is the safest?
We offer several types of closures for our yellow gold hoop earrings, designed to ensure safety and comfort:
- Hinged closure (Clicker): They are very popular and easy to put on and take off. Ideal for everyday wear.
- Seamless closure: The hoop looks continuous and opens by gently twisting. It provides a very clean look, although it requires a bit of practice to handle.
- Internal threaded bar: Although less common in pure hoops, they are the gold standard in safety, especially to prevent the jewelry from falling out.
All our closures are designed to offer a secure fit, minimizing the risk of losing the piercing.
Are yellow gold hoop piercings heavier than those made of other materials?
The weight will depend on the thickness and diameter of the hoop. In general, yellow gold hoop piercings are designed to be light and comfortable, especially if they are hollow hoops. If you are looking for a very large yellow gold hoop earring or a solid design, they may have a greater weight. For delicate piercings like the tragus or helix, we offer thin and light hoops that minimize tension on the ear.
