Types and styling of the forward piercing jewelry

One of the hottest trends in piercing jewelry - the forward helix piercing. Here is some insight into this stylish piercing trend and the different types of jewelry available to help you make a statement with your ear jewelry.

Now, the forward helix piercing is located at the front of the ear, and it's become a popular choice for those who want to add some sparkle and style to their ear jewelry. This type of piercing can be adorned with a variety of jewelry styles, from delicate studs to statement hoops.

Let's start with the most classic and understated style of forward helix piercing jewelry - the stud earring. These small and dainty pieces come in a variety of materials and finishes, from classic gold and silver to more unique and modern materials like rose gold and titanium. They're perfect for those who want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their ear jewelry.

If you're looking for something a little bolder, try a hoop earring. Large statement hoops in bold colors or patterns are a great way to add a pop of personality to your outfit, while smaller hoops in classic metals like gold and silver are perfect for everyday wear. The forward helix piercing is also perfect for stacking multiple hoop earrings for a trendy and eye-catching look.

Another popular style for the forward helix piercing is the "ear cuff" or "wrap," which sits snugly on the upper part of the ear and can be adorned with stones or other decorative elements. This style is perfect for those who want to experiment with their ear jewelry without committing to a permanent piercing.

Choosing the type of materials

When it comes to materials, it's important to choose high-quality options that won't irritate your skin or cause allergic reactions. Look for jewelry made from hypoallergenic metals like surgical steel, titanium, or gold. Natural gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, and emeralds can also add a touch of luxury to your piercing jewelry.

So there you have it, some of the hottest styles of forward helix piercing jewelry to help you make a statement with your ear jewelry. Whether you're looking for a classic and understated look or something bold and eye-catching, there's no limit to the stylish and creative looks you can create with this versatile piercing.
