Collection: Purple Helix Earrings

Purple helix earrings at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium set with purple opal, purple CZ, or tanzanite-cut stones. The titanium base is nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and suitable for both fresh and healed cartilage piercings. All pieces are 16G (1.2mm), the standard gauge for helix piercings.

The purple range for the helix includes hinged segment rings with purple opal side faces, flat back labret studs with purple CZ ends, and clicker hoops with purple gem accent faces. Purple opal has a shifting quality that moves between violet, indigo, and blue depending on light, giving the helix piece a different appearance throughout the day without changing the jewellery.

Purple tones at the helix work particularly well in ear stacks that include gold pieces. The warm tone of 18K Gold PVD contrasts well with violet and purple stone ends, and a purple flat back labret at the helix alongside a gold daith ring or gold tragus stud creates a colour-coordinated ear that uses both warm metal and cool stone without the look becoming busy.

Purple helix earrings pair well with gold pieces at adjacent piercings and with silver hoops at the same cartilage for a mixed-metal look. They also coordinate with purple flat back earrings at the tragus or conch. Keep titanium stone-set pieces clean with sterile saline spray and avoid harsh chemicals that can cloud stone settings over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge are purple helix earrings?

Purple helix earrings in this collection are 16G (1.2mm), the standard gauge for helix piercings. Confirm the gauge your helix was pierced at before purchasing, as individual piercers may vary by a gauge size in either direction.

Are purple titanium earrings safe for a new helix piercing?

Yes. All pieces are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, which is nickel-free and biocompatible. It is the material recommended by professional piercers for fresh cartilage piercings. Avoid any jewellery that is not implant-grade during the healing period.

What stone settings are used in purple helix earrings?

Purple helix pieces use purple opal (a synthetic opal with a violet iridescent face), purple CZ (cubic zirconia in an amethyst-adjacent tone), and tanzanite-cut CZ stones. Purple opal shifts between violet, blue, and indigo depending on the angle of light, making it one of the more dynamic stone options for cartilage jewellery.

Do purple helix earrings work with gold pieces?

Yes. Purple and gold is a strong pairing for ear stacks. The warm yellow tone of 18K Gold PVD titanium contrasts well with cool violet and purple stones, making a purple flat back or opal segment ring at the helix a natural complement to a gold daith ring or gold tragus stud on the same ear.

How do I care for purple opal jewellery?

Clean purple opal titanium jewellery with sterile saline spray. Avoid harsh chemicals, oil-based cleansers, and excessive rubbing on the stone face, as synthetic opal settings can become cloudy if exposed to chemical products over time. The titanium base itself is highly corrosion-resistant and requires minimal maintenance.
