I bought this several months ago to wear in my conch piercing. Typically, jewelry shops use hoop diameter measurements to refer to the inner diameter of the hoop. I measured this hoop myself, and the outer hoop diameter does equal 10mm, and the inner hoop diameter is about 8 mm. Thus, it was far too tight and painful to wear in my conch piercing.

I decided to keep the jewelry because I know it is high quality (I have other Tini Lux pieces for my earlobes, and they do not irritate my highly sensitive ears at all), and I now wear it daily in my helix piercing.

I am only writing this review to warn others that this probably won't work for a conch piercing. And to perhaps suggest that they change the description to clarify that 10mm refers to the measurement of the outer diameter of the hoop to avoid future confusion.

i literally never write reviews but I haven't been able to wear earrings in my second lobe piercings for years because they would get infected with any earring..I bought these earrings to give it one last shot and after the initial scabbing from basically repiercing my ears with them they healed perfectly and I have had them in for a few months now with no problems. Totally worth the cost.

Love these! I own one for every piercing (plus an extra in case one breaks, which hasn't happened yet!) and keep them in my ear's various piercings 24/7. I've worn my original set for 10+ months nonstop (swimming, bathing, sleeping, etc.) and they look and function the same as when they first arrived.

I love how nice and simple this looks! Goes perfectly with my other jewelry.

Comfortable and cute! hoping the titanium will let my helix piercing heal properly
