Ear Piercing Jewellery FAQ
What are piercing earrings?
Piercing earrings, also known as ear piercing jewellery, are specialised earrings designed for the initial stages of earlobe or cartilage piercings. These earrings serve a crucial role in the piercing process and prioritise optimal comfort throughout the healing period.
Piercing earrings are mainly used to provide a practical and clean solution for the first piercing of the earlobe or cartilage. Designed for wear during the healing phase, typically spanning the first few weeks or months post-piercing, piercing earrings are constructed to address the necessity for cleanliness and ease of insertion during this sensitive period.
Common features of piercing earrings include a sharp point at one end, ensuring easy insertion through the earlobe or cartilage. This pointed design contributes to a smoother and less traumatic piercing process. Moreover, piercing earrings often incorporate secure backings or fasteners, preventing accidental removal and minimising the risk of irritation during the crucial healing period.
In essence, piercing earrings play a vital role in the initial stages of earlobe or cartilage piercings, embodying hygienic design and optimal comfort.
What is the difference between piercing earrings and regular earrings?
Piercing earrings are specially designed with a focus on the initial piercing process. This design often includes a pointed end, facilitating smoother insertion through the earlobe or cartilage during the piercing procedure. The pointed design is intended to minimise trauma and discomfort throughout the sensitive healing phase.
In contrast, regular earrings offer a more diverse design spectrum to cater to various styles and preferences. Unlike piercing earrings, they lack the pointed end characteristic of the latter, which serves as a distinctive feature designed for the initial piercing process.
Piercing earrings prioritise the use of special materials that actively contribute to the healing process and reduce the risk of irritation. Common materials include hypoallergenic metals, solid gold, or 14k gold, ensuring optimal comfort and minimising the likelihood of adverse reactions during the healing period. This intentional material choice considers the sensitivity of newly pierced ears.
Conversely, regular earrings may incorporate a diverse range of materials, such as silver, stainless steel, or other metals, without the specific emphasis on promoting healing and minimising irritation seen in piercing earrings.
In essence, the key distinctions lie in the design and construction of piercing earrings, featuring a pointed end for the initial piercing process. Additionally, the materials used in piercing earrings emphasise healing and reduced irritation, setting them apart from the more varied designs and materials of regular earrings.
What type of earring is best for piercing?
For initial piercings, stud earrings stand out as the top choice due to their simplicity and easy maintenance. With a streamlined and simple design, studs reduce the risk of snagging on clothing, ensuring a smoother healing process. However, at Lark & Berry, we transcend the conventional stud design, offering a diverse array of styles equally well-suited for piercing. Our collection boasts various options to cater to individual preferences while guaranteeing optimal comfort throughout the healing phase.
Prioritising earrings crafted from hypoallergenic materials is pivotal to minimising the risk of irritation during the healing process. Lark & Berry places a premium on hypoallergenic metals, including solid gold or 14k gold, in our piercing jewellery. These materials not only enhance the comfort of the healing experience but also guarantee enduring quality and durability. Our unwavering commitment to hypoallergenic jewellery underscores our dedication to ensuring a safe and delightful piercing journey.
The advantage of earrings with sharp tips should not be underestimated, especially during the piercing procedure. Earrings featuring sharp tips enable smoother insertion through the earlobe or cartilage, effectively reducing trauma and discomfort. This particular feature proves highly beneficial for a more seamless and less challenging piercing experience.

Can I shower or swim with these piercing earrings on?
Crafted with durability in mind, our piercing earrings are designed to withstand exposure to water. Specifically, earrings made from solid gold or 14k gold are built for longevity and offer water resistance, allowing you to wear them confidently in the shower or while swimming after the healing process. Adhering to care instructions is crucial to preserve the integrity of these earrings.
During the initial healing phase, it's advisable to minimise water exposure to the pierced area. Keeping piercing earrings dry during this period reduces infection risks and promotes a smooth healing process. Once fully healed, typically within a few weeks, feel free to confidently wear your earrings in water.
To ensure the lasting quality of your piercing and earrings, follow essential ear piercing aftercare tips. Regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemicals, and gently drying the pierced area after water exposure all contribute to sustaining the quality of your earrings.
