Daith Piercing Jewelry

The daith is the ear's hidden fold that innermost curl of cartilage and it wears rings like nowhere else can: hearts that nest in the curve, hinged clickers, segment rings, and snug horseshoes, mostly 16G. Tucked-away placement, maximum "wait, what IS that?" factor. Since 1999.

Daith Ring Size & Style Guide

Daith sizing: 16G is the standard (18G for some), with ring diameters of 5/16" to 7/16" fitting most folds the curve is small, so snug diameters nest best. Every product page lists gauge and diameter.

Style notes for the fold: hinged clickers and segment rings are the daith favorites because the hinge makes one handed changes possible in a spot you can barely see and heart-shaped rings were basically invented for this piercing, hugging the curve like they were drawn on. Horseshoes work too; captive beads test your patience back there.

FAQ

Ring style pieces: hinged clickers, segment rings, horseshoes, and heart-shaped rings made to nest in the fold. Mostly 16G with 5/16"–7/16" diameters. Hearts are the signature daith look the curve was made for them.

Choose a hinged clicker it opens and clicks shut one handed by feel, which is the entire reason they dominate this page. Mirror and patience works for horseshoes; captive bead rings in a daith are a two person job.

It's cartilage in a protected fold: 3 to 9 months or more. The starter ring stays until your piercer clears you then the hearts come out to play.

You'll hear this claim everywhere; honest answer: the evidence is anecdotal, and nobody should get pierced as a medical treatment. Get a daith because it looks incredible anything else is a bonus story.
