❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cartilage ring safe for a healing ear piercing?
No. This 316L surgical steel piece has a plated finish and is only suitable for healed piercings. Fresh piercings require implant-grade titanium.
Will the rose gold finish fade or tarnish?
PVD plating is durable but can wear over time with friction. Avoid sleeping in it to prolong the rose gold color.
Can I wear this vintage prong set cartilage ring in the shower?
Yes, it is water-resistant. However, dry it immediately after to prevent soap buildup around the prongs.
What inner diameter should I choose for my cartilage?
Measure your current jewelry. 8mm is standard for helix; 10mm offers more room for thicker ear cartilage.
