Forward Helix Piercing Collection
Most ear piercings are a side detail. The forward helix is a face detail. It sits at the very front of the upper cartilage, where the ear begins its curve toward the head, and because of that position it is visible from both the front and side profile. A single small piece here does more for how the face reads than a much larger piece placed further back on the ear.
Forward Helix Piercing Styles
MADAJ's forward helix collection includes studs, hoops, and motif designs, each handcrafted to order in nickel-free, hypoallergenic 18k gold and set with natural diamonds, black diamonds, sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. Available in yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold.
Every stud is fitted with an internally threaded flat-back post, keeping the threading outside the piercing channel for a cleaner, more comfortable fit against the cartilage. Every hoop features a hinged clicker closure that opens and locks with a single motion, staying secure throughout the day without adjustment. Designs range from refined solitaires to detailed motifs including lotus, star, moon, lightning, and flower forms, each proportioned specifically for the forward helix so nothing looks out of scale. Studs are available in post lengths of 5 mm and 6.5 mm, and hoops in diameters of 5 mm and 6.5 mm. Gemstone and gold color are fully customizable, and every piece is produced individually once your order is placed.
