Helix jewelry has been in vogue for decades. If you didn’t know already, the helix is the upper part of our ear, which has a curved rim. People who love piercings and jewelry often go for helix piercings and sometimes get multiple of them. However, you don’t need to get helix piercings to wear helix earrings because there are many options available in the markets that can be worn without piercings.
When it comes to helix, people prefer different types of earrings. While some go for hoops, others prefer barbells or studs. Let’s look into the 5 latest Helix earrings that every woman loves:
Seamless Rings

A more advanced design of barbell earrings is made for multiple helix piercings. In such barbell earrings, one end of the barbell goes in one piercing, and the other goes in the second one. The middle part is visible on the ear, giving the illusion of both piercings stitched together.
Studs

There are tons of designs available in studs and you can even choose the right size for your helix piercings. If you need to choose between studs and barbells for fresh helix piercings then barbells are recommended. It’s because studs are more likely to snag onto clothes and loose threads, which might be painful in the beginning. However, once your piercings get older, you can choose any type of earrings.
