Victoria Beckham’s Piercing Style: What We Know
Victoria’s ear game is as meticulously crafted as her fashion line. She’s been spotted with multiple lobe piercings, a helix, a forward helix and a conch—each styled with minimalist diamond hoops and refined studs. The curated effect? Sophisticated, elevated, timeless. It’s a style so compelling, UK searches for "Victoria Beckham ear piercings 2025" have skyrocketed by over 400% this season.
She’s no stranger to cartilage piercings. Victoria revealed she got several of hers from celebrity piercers including Bridgett from a Miami tattoo studio, and jeweller Lizzie Mandler. Her curated stack blends upper-ear sparkle with classic lower lobe elegance—exactly what the modern fashion insider craves.
The Curated Ear: Types of Piercings Inspired by VB
Helix Piercings
Helix piercings are a Beckham-approved classic. Positioned on the upper ear cartilage, this piercing is both edgy and refined. There’s more than one version:
- Standard Helix: Upper outer cartilage; works well with dainty hoops and chains.
- Forward Helix: Near the root of the ear; pairs beautifully with single studs.
- Low Helix: Closer to the earlobe; ideal for starting your cartilage journey.
Does a helix piercing hurt? Expect a quick pinch and a healing time of 9 to 12 months. Regular saline cleaning and gentle care are essential.
Conch Piercings
The conch sits deeper in the centre of the ear cartilage and offers dramatic styling options:
- Inner Conch: Holds delicate studs nestled in the shell.
- Outer Conch: Ideal for bold hoops visible from the side.
Conch healing time: 6–12 months. It’s slightly more painful than the helix due to the thicker cartilage, but oh-so worth it.

Tragus & Daith Piercings
Victoria may not wear them, but tragus and daith piercings are dominating 2025 piercing charts in the UK.
- Tragus: That tiny flap near your ear canal. Discreet yet undeniably chic. Healing takes 6 to 12 months.
- Daith: The innermost cartilage fold, rumoured to relieve migraines. Healing time is similar to the conch.
Pair these with our Scatter Gold Vermeil Stud or Kyma Gold Vermeil Stud.
