The Ultimate Guide to Conch Piercings: Styling, Healing & Jewellery Inspiration

At Zohreh V. Jewellery, we believe jewellery should be meaningful, personal, and worn your way—every day. The conch piercing is a beautiful way to add depth and individuality to your ear stack. Both effortlessly cool and endlessly versatile, it’s perfect for everything from a delicate hoop to a touch of sparkle. In this guide, we’re sharing everything you need to know about styling your conch, caring for your piercing, and choosing timeless pieces that reflect your unique style.

What Is a Conch Piercing?

The conch piercing sits in the middle part of your ear cartilage, inside the curve of your ear. There are two types:

  • Inner Conch – placed through the inner cup of your ear.

  • Outer Conch – positioned slightly closer to the edge, ideal for a hoop that hugs the ear.

Because of its location, a conch piercing offers bold styling potential without being too in-your-face—making it a favourite among piercing lovers.

Healing Your Conch Piercing: What to Expect

Like all cartilage piercings, the conch needs some TLC to heal properly.

Healing Time:
Anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on your body and care routine.

Aftercare Tips:

  • Clean gently with Neilmed saline solution once or twice a day. 

  • Avoid twisting or touching it unnecessarily.

  • Sleep on the opposite side if possible.

  • Stick to high-quality, hypoallergenic jewellery (we recommend 14k gold.

Our pieces are made with healing in mind—crafted from premium materials that are safe for fresh piercings and gentle on sensitive skin.


FAQs About Conch Piercings

Does it hurt?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but most people describe it as a sharp pinch—quick and manageable.

Can I wear a hoop right away?
It's best to start with a stud for healing. Once fully healed, you can switch to a hoop.

When can I change my jewellery?
We recommend waiting at least 6 months and consulting with your piercer first.
