Constellation piercings - the earring trend we all want to wear

accreditation

It's nothing particularly new, but like all things fashion, trends are cyclical. Only, old trends need a modern update in order to be considered fresh and wearable.

Constellation piercings are groupings of jewellery combinations that create a unique cluster of sorts. So, instead of just piercing along the earlobe, the piercings are scattered (you can even involve the ear cartilage if you so desire).

Refinery29 says that all the L.A. cool girls are getting constellation piercings. Trendsetters of note, this is evidence enough that this piercing trend is soon to go global. Or has it already?

You might have seen the likes of Amber Heard and Beyoncé sporting this ear candy look - and it is everything and more. Only in their case the actual jewellery decorating one single ear is worth more than everything I own. But I digress.

Be brave, bold and create your own one-of-a-kind ear art, the lobe is your canvas, i.e. if you want your ear to show the world the real you, let it shine, girl...

Here are some inspo earlobes to consider for your future constellation:
