Titanium daith earrings are the recommended choice for daith piercings, which pass through the innermost fold of ear cartilage just above the ear canal. Every daith earring at Camden Body Jewellery is made from implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136), a medical-grade alloy that is completely nickel-free, biocompatible and safe for both new and healed piercings. The daith sits in a tight, curved space within the ear, so lightweight, smooth jewellery is essential for both comfort and proper healing.
This collection features titanium daith earrings in the styles best suited to this piercing: hinged segment rings (clickers) that snap securely into the piercing with a satisfying click, seamless continuous rings for a minimal aesthetic, and heart-shaped or decorative clicker rings that use the daith's unique position to frame an eye-catching design within the inner ear. Daith piercings are standardly pierced at 16G (1.2mm).
The daith requires a slightly larger inner diameter than other ear piercings to accommodate the thickness of the inner cartilage fold. Common sizes for daith jewellery are 8mm, 10mm and 12mm — with the right size depending on your individual ear anatomy. Hinged clicker rings are particularly popular for the daith because they open on a hinge and click closed, making them easy to insert and remove in this otherwise tricky-to-reach location.
Titanium is roughly 40% lighter than surgical steel, which reduces pressure on the daith cartilage and supports faster healing. The metal is also fully waterproof and will not tarnish or corrode from daily exposure to moisture. All titanium daith earrings are available in natural polished silver as well as PVD-coated gold, rose gold, black and other colours.
Daith Piercing Care
Daith piercings typically take 9 to 12 months to fully heal due to the thickness of the cartilage. During healing, avoid sleeping on the pierced side, do not use earbuds or in-ear headphones in that ear, and clean twice daily with sterile saline spray. Once healed, the daith is a stunning location for decorative clicker rings and ornate designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What jewellery is best for a daith piercing?
Hinged clicker rings are the most popular and practical choice for daith piercings. The hinge mechanism makes them easy to insert in this hard-to-reach location, and they click securely closed.
Do daith piercings help with migraines?
There is no scientific evidence that daith piercings treat migraines. Some people report anecdotal relief, but medical professionals do not recommend daith piercings as a migraine treatment.
What size ring fits a daith piercing?
Daith piercings typically need an 8mm, 10mm or 12mm inner diameter ring, depending on the thickness of your inner ear cartilage fold. Most people find 10mm to be the most comfortable fit.
Can I wear earbuds with a daith piercing?
Avoid in-ear earbuds during healing (9 to 12 months). Once fully healed, most people can wear earbuds comfortably, though over-ear headphones are a safer alternative if the earbuds press against the jewellery.
