10 Reasons Why Conch Ear Piercings Are All the Rage RN
Piercing has been a major style category since forever. And because this trend never seems to fade away, there’s always a new part to adorn — especially when it comes to the ears. In 2018, that sweet spot is the conch, the cartilage in the middle section of the ear (its resemblance to a large shell is where it gets the name). Below you’ll find our favorite shapes for conch piercings, along with some of the prettiest *and* daintiest jewels to invest in for year-round wear.
The Classic Hoop
Tried and true, the hoop earring is classic for all the right reasons. This versatile design pairs well with ALL the earrings and is the perfect option for gals interested in a little more ear candy oomph. Hoop, there it is.
