More accurately, one earring in my cartilage. Lately, I’ve been really into delicate jewelry and while I was browsing Etsy (like you do), I saw some really cute chained earrings. I fell in love with the idea of rocking a cartilage piercing connected by a chain to my lobe piercing. There was one problem: I didn’t have a cartilage piercing. So I went and got it pierced. Now, I’ve had it pierced for a few years, but I still haven’t gotten a delicate chained earring! So here are a few of my favorite earrings from Etsy right now:
First up, this gorgeous chain set from Simplicity Charms.
Sterling Silver Single Bow Knot Cartilage Double Piercing
I really like the delicate bow and it looks like you can change the orientation to have the bow dangle instead of wearing it at your helix (the upper piercing). The downside is that you can only buy it as a single earring so you’d have to find a matching stud.
Next up, a cute bird set from Simplyy Charming.
Bird And Leaf Cartilage Chain Earring Helix Ear Cuff Jewelry Dangle Feather Animal
I love bird imagery, so I find these really cute. It does come with a matching (not really matching since there’s no helix chain) earring and you do have the option of changing the upper cuff to a stud if you also have the helix piercing like I do. My only concern is that the seller doesn’t have a photo of someone wearing them, so I’m not sure how small/large they are.
I found a few sets that I liked from Of Lovely Things.
Dangling Silver Spikes Double Pierce Cartilage Earring (Pair)
These are a little edgier than I normally like, but something about them really calls to me. I think it’s the length and dangliness (is that a word?) of the earrings. The seller says that you can change the helix cuff into a stud if you leave a note in the “Notes to Seller” section, which is what I would do. Also, you can get these in either stainless steel or sterling silver. I would personally do the silver, but to each their own.
Jade Geolith Pendulum Cartilage Earrings (Pair)
I really love jewelry that has a more natural look to the gemstones, so I like the jade pendants on this pair. Again, these come in stainless steel or sterling silver. I wish this seller had models wearing the jewelry so we could have a better idea of the size, but she does have comparison shots with a quarter, so I think these are fairly large. They’re simple and pretty, which is very much my style.
For a more simple option, I found this earring from JuneLittleShop.
I love infinity symbols because they make me think of math (I’m a nerd, what can I say?) and I like that this is just really simple. This is another earring where you’d have to find a matching stud, but it’s so simple that it shouldn’t be too hard to do.
For a more classic look, I found this earring from Embers Jewellery Shop.
I love the simple delicacy of this earring. I think this would be lovely for a more formal occasion. Downside is you have to find a matching stud, but I’m pretty sure the seller has some pre-made. This set comes in silver, gold, and rose gold, which is what I liked best.
Bonus nerdy set! This earring comes from PolymerNai.
Pokéballs Chain Earring Pokémon Hélix cartilage piercing
I couldn’t resist the Pokéballs. Enough said.
I hope you liked some of the earrings! Do you have the helix piercing? Would you wear one of these? Let me know in the comments below!
