Collection: Purple Tragus Earrings

Purple tragus earrings at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium set with purple opal, purple CZ, and tanzanite-cut stone ends. The tragus is the small cartilage projection over the ear canal, typically pierced at 16G (1.2mm). Titanium is nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and suitable for both fresh and fully healed tragus piercings.

The purple range for the tragus includes flat back labret studs with purple opal and purple CZ tops, and small hinged clicker rings with purple gem faces. Flat back labrets are the most practical style for the tragus as the flat disc sits flush against the inside of the ear. Purple opal tops have an iridescent quality that shifts between violet, indigo, and blue, giving the piece a more dynamic appearance than a flat-cut CZ.

Purple tones at the tragus create a distinctive colour accent at one of the ear's most visible cartilage positions. A purple flat back at the tragus works naturally in ear stacks that include gold pieces at the helix or daith, since the warm tone of 18K Gold PVD complements the cooler violet of the purple stone. Purple also pairs well with silver hardware for a more monochrome arrangement.

Purple tragus earrings work alongside gold or silver helix rings and coordinate with purple helix or purple conch pieces for a colour-consistent ear stack. They also pair with purple flat back earrings across other cartilage placements for a cohesive look. Keep titanium tragus jewellery clean with sterile saline spray and avoid earphones during healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge are purple tragus earrings?

Tragus piercings are typically 16G (1.2mm). Confirm your gauge before purchasing, as some piercers work at 18G for smaller tragus anatomies.

What stone settings are used in purple tragus earrings?

Purple tragus pieces use purple opal (a synthetic opal with a violet iridescent face), purple CZ (cubic zirconia in an amethyst-adjacent tone), and tanzanite CZ. Purple opal shifts between violet, indigo, and blue depending on the light, making it a more dynamic choice than a flat-cut stone.

Are purple titanium tragus earrings safe for new piercings?

Yes. ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is nickel-free and biocompatible, making it recommended for fresh tragus piercings. Titanium stone settings do not affect the hypoallergenic properties of the base material.

Do purple tragus earrings work with gold jewellery?

Yes. Purple and gold is a strong pairing in an ear stack. The warm tone of 18K Gold PVD titanium contrasts well with cool violet stone ends, and a purple flat back at the tragus pairs naturally with a gold daith clicker or gold helix ring on the same ear.

How long does a tragus piercing take to heal?

Tragus piercings typically take 6 to 12 months to fully heal. Avoiding in-ear headphones and keeping the area clean with sterile saline spray throughout healing will help the process.
