The OroOrient guide
Style your ear at your own pace.
A clear starting point for placement, sizing and safe use. Always prioritize your professional piercer’s advice when making a decision.
01 · Placements
Every placement is different.
Everyone’s ear anatomy is different. A piece looking right does not mean it is anatomically suitable for that placement.
- LobeA commonly chosen area on the earlobe that works with many combinations.
- HelixOn the upper outer rim of the ear; may suit hoops and flat-back styles.
- TragusThe small cartilage in front of the ear canal; careful sizing matters.
- FlatThe broader area of upper cartilage, often considered for small studs.
02 · Choosing your size
A millimeter can make a difference.
Inner diameter, bar length and gauge affect both comfort and appearance. Measuring only the outside of your current jewelry may not give an accurate result.
The safest approach
Ask a professional piercer about initial jewelry, an unhealed piercing or any size you are unsure of.
03 · Care
A gentle touch, a calm routine.
Gentle cleaning
Follow the care routine recommended by your professional during healing.
Give it time
Do not change jewelry too soon; consult a professional about pain, redness or anything you are unsure of.
