{"product_id":"crown-helix-cartilage-earring","title":"Crown Helix Earring with Five Clear CZ Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive clear stones fanned into a little crown give this helix earring a regal sparkle in a space just 4 by 8mm. It sits on a 16 gauge, 1\/4 inch bar of 316L surgical steel, and Fashion Hut lists it for the helix, the tragus or the upper cartilage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive stone crown.\u003c\/strong\u003e Marquise shaped CZ spread like the points of a crown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 by 8mm top.\u003c\/strong\u003e About 0.16 by 0.31 inch, small but easy to spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolished silver tone.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bright steel frames each stone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnug 6mm bar.\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the crown close against the ear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHelix Earring with a Crown Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA helix earring sits on the upper rim, where the ear curves, and a crown shape suits that spot. \u003cstrong\u003eFive marquise stones point outward along the curve, so the crown catches light from the front and the side\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it reads at a glance even though it is only 8mm wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit on the Upper Ear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bar is 16 gauge, 1.2mm thick, which is the standard thickness for cartilage jewelry. At 1\/4 inch, about 6mm, the bar is short, which keeps the crown snug against the ear; it suits a slim helix better than a thick one. Point the crown upward to follow the rim, or angle it toward the face to show the stones head on. \u003cstrong\u003eIn a stack, put the crown highest and let plainer studs sit below it.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMarquise Stones and Sparkle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarquise stones are long and pointed at both ends, a shape that makes a small stone look longer and slimmer.

Clean it with a soft brush and mild soap so lotion does not dull the points, and dry it with a lint free cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCrown Earring Placement Ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a stud or a hoop?\u003c\/strong\u003e A stud: a straight bar with the crown on the front, so it sits flat to the ear rather than wrapping around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it photograph?\u003c\/strong\u003e Very well.
