Constellation Ear Piercings
Have you heard of constellation piercings? This is a new trend in ear piercing that is really catching on. Constellation ear piercings are just what they sound like- a cluster of earrings made to look like a constellation in the sky.
The earring dots are arranged artistically to look like star or planet formations. There is a look for everyone, from dainty to bold, and made to fit your ear size and type, too.
You generally want to use small and simple shaped jewelry, but the look can be customized just for you. You can include one or two statement pieces, depending on your style. You can fit the theme with a tiny moon or star, or choose another shape that you like to accent the cluster.
Most of the time you will have 5 or more earrings in this cluster. Small or petite shapes work best and can be kept professional if you have to work in an upscale office. Think baby diamonds or small round earrings. Geometric shapes can also work really well and add an interesting touch to the overall style. Small hoops can also be used along the bottom of the ear lobe.
One great thing about constellation piercings is that you can add to any ear piercings that you already have! You want to work with a professional to evaluate your ear structure and any existing piercings to ensure that you will get the look you want to achieve. Having one large earring mixed with a bunch of small ones is a great style.
It is generally recommended not to get more than five piercings at one time. You will have to clean and take care of these piercings for awhile. Let the initial piercings heal well before you go back to have any more done.
Most of your favorite stores are carrying many jewelry pieces that work well with this constellations style, so you can definitely change up your look in the future. Try something different and have some fun!
