Bee Jewellery at SkinKandy
SkinKandy's Bee Jewellery collection features honeybee-themed pieces across lobe, cartilage and nose placements, in Surgical Steel, Titanium and 14K Gold. Styles range from simple bee studs and flatbacks to small hoops and clip-on charms, suiting both a first lobe piercing and a healed cartilage stack. It's a playful way to add a motif to your jewellery without moving away from the gauges and styles your piercing needs. This collection covers both fresh piercings and healed upgrades.
Which piercings suit bee-themed jewellery?
Bee studs suit lobe piercings at 18G or 20G, while bee flatbacks are available for cartilage placements like tragus and helix at 16G. Bee charms clip onto an existing hoop or segment ring, so they suit healed lobe, helix or nose piercings rather than fresh ones. Nose studs with a small bee detail are also available for nostril piercings. Your piercing specialist can point you to the right gauge for your specific placement.
What size are bee-themed pieces available in?
Sizing follows the same rules as the rest of our range, since the bee 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. Charms are sized to clip onto your existing jewellery rather than following a gauge of their own. Your piercing specialist will confirm the correct gauge and length for your placement before fitting any new piece.
Can bee-themed jewellery be worn in a fresh piercing?
Yes, bee studs and flatbacks in Surgical Steel are what our piercing specialists use for fresh piercings in studio, so they suit the healing phase well. Bee charms are the exception, since they clip onto existing jewellery and are better suited to healed piercings you're already wearing hoops or segment rings in. Do not remove your jewellery during the healing phase, even if you're planning to add a charm later. Titanium and 14K Gold bee pieces are also available if you have sensitive skin.
How do I style bee jewellery into a stack?
A bee stud or flatback works well as one piece within a wider lobe or cartilage stack, rather than needing to match every other piece in the set. Adding a bee charm to an existing hoop is an easy way to bring the motif into a healed piercing without buying new base jewellery. Keeping to one or two metal tones across your stack helps a themed piece like this feel considered rather than mismatched. Our guide to charms and chains has more ideas for adding detail to an existing stack.
Should I choose a bee stud or a bee charm?
A bee stud or flatback is standalone jewellery, fitted directly into a lobe, cartilage or nose piercing, and it's suitable for fresh piercings. A bee charm is an accessory that clips onto an existing hoop or segment ring, so it needs a compatible piece already in place and suits healed piercings only. Studs and flatbacks are the better choice if this is your first bee-themed piece, while charms suit adding detail to jewellery you already wear. Your piercing specialist can check compatibility if you're considering a charm.
