The helix is one of the most popular ear piercings — and for good reason. You can wear a CZ gem stud for a classic look or switch to a decorative hoop once it has healed. It's endlessly versatile and pairs beautifully with any ear curation.

Pro tip: Sleep on a travel pillow to keep pressure off your ear at night, and avoid touching or rotating the jewelry — let your sterile saline rinse do the work.
