What Are Cartilage Earrings?
Cartilage earrings are very similar to regular earrings, but they are made to go into piercings on the cartilage of the ear rather than in the earlobe, which is free of cartilage. In most cases, cartilage earrings are in the form of studs, barbells, or occasionally hoops. Some of these earrings are also cuffs, which curve around the outside edge of the ear. These earrings are also often made of the same materials that regular earrings may be made from, such as silver, gold, or surgical steel.
