Serpent & Snake Jewellery at SkinKandy
SkinKandy's Serpent & Snake collection features snake-motif pieces across lobe, cartilage and nose placements, in Surgical Steel, Titanium and 14K Gold. Styles range from coiled snake studs and flatbacks to segment rings shaped like a serpent wrapping around the ear. It's a bold, statement option for anyone wanting to bring a bit more edge to a lobe or cartilage stack. This collection covers both fresh piercings and healed upgrades.
Which piercings suit serpent and snake jewellery?
Snake studs suit lobe piercings at 18G or 20G, while snake flatbacks are available for cartilage placements like helix and tragus at 16G. Snake-shaped segment rings are a popular option once a cartilage or daith piercing has healed. Nose studs featuring a small snake design are also available for nostril piercings. Your piercing specialist can point you to the right gauge for your specific placement.
What size are serpent and snake pieces available in?
Sizing follows the same rules as the rest of our range, since the snake design is a styling choice rather than a change to the piercing itself. Lobe studs sit at 18G or 20G, cartilage flatbacks are 16G in 6mm or 8mm, and nostril studs are 18G or 20G. Snake-shaped segment rings for daith or cartilage placements are fitted at 16G, in a ring diameter of 8mm to 10mm. Your piercing specialist will confirm the correct gauge and length for your placement before fitting any new piece.
Can serpent and snake jewellery be worn in a fresh piercing?
Yes, snake studs and flatbacks in Surgical Steel are what our piercing specialists use for fresh piercings in studio, so they suit the healing phase well. Snake-shaped segment rings are better suited to healed piercings, since ring styles are generally introduced once healing is complete. Do not remove your jewellery during the healing phase, even if you're planning to switch to a segment ring later. Titanium and 14K Gold snake pieces are also available if you have sensitive skin.
How do I style snake jewellery into a stack?
A snake stud or flatback works well as a single statement piece within a wider lobe or cartilage stack, rather than needing every piece to match. A snake-shaped segment ring on a healed daith or cartilage piercing can act as the focal point of an ear curation. Keeping the rest of your stack simple helps a bold motif piece like this stand out rather than compete for attention. Our ear curation guide has more ideas for building a stack around one statement piece.
Should I choose a snake stud or a snake segment ring?
A snake stud or flatback is standalone jewellery, fitted directly into a lobe, cartilage or nose piercing, and it's suitable for fresh piercings. A snake segment ring is a hinged hoop shaped to wrap around the ear, better suited to a healed cartilage or daith piercing. Studs and flatbacks are the better choice if this is your first snake-themed piece, while segment rings suit adding a statement piece to an already healed stack. Your piercing specialist can help you decide which suits your current piercing.
