{"title":"Connector Chains","description":"\u003ch2\u003eConnector Chains at SkinKandy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnector chains at SkinKandy are delicate chain jewellery pieces that link two separate ear piercings together, worn in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/titanium\"\u003eTitanium\u003c\/a\u003e at 20G in Gold Tone or Gunmetal Tone finishes. They're designed to drape between two healed piercings, such as two lobe piercings or a lobe and a cartilage placement, adding movement and a stacked look to your ear curation. Connector chains suit anyone who already has multiple ear piercings and wants to style them together rather than wear each piece separately. Since a connector relies on two stable piercing points, it's best worn once both piercings are fully healed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do connector chains work between two piercings?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnector chains attach to two separate piercings with a small hoop or post at each end, with a fine chain draping between them to link the look together. They're most commonly worn between two \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lobes\"\u003elobe\u003c\/a\u003e piercings, or between a lobe and a cartilage placement like \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/helix-piercing-jewellery\"\u003ehelix\u003c\/a\u003e, for a layered stacked effect. Because the chain pulls gently between both points, both piercings need to be settled and fully healed before you wear one, so it's not a style for fresh piercings. Our piercing specialists can help you plan which of your existing piercings will work best with a connector chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat gauge are connector chains?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnector chains at SkinKandy are fitted at 20G, matching the gauge typically used for finer ear piercings like a second or third lobe. The chain length itself depends on the distance between your two chosen piercings, so it's worth trying pieces on to see how they drape before committing. A chain that's too short can pull tightly on both piercings, while one that's too long may hang lower than you'd like. Our piercing specialists can help you choose a length that suits your specific piercing placements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat material are connector chains made from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnector chains at SkinKandy are made from Titanium, finished in Gold Tone or Gunmetal Tone. Titanium is lightweight and gentle on healed piercings, which matters here since the chain sits across two points at once and shouldn't feel heavy or drag on either piercing. It's a reliable, tarnish-resistant choice for everyday wear once both your piercings are settled. If you're building out a full stack, Titanium connector chains pair easily with other pieces already in your ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConnector chains vs charms and chains, what's the difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnector chains link two separate piercings together with a hoop or post at each end, while our broader \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/charms-and-chains\"\u003echarms and chains\u003c\/a\u003e range includes single-ended dangles and chain details that attach to one piece of jewellery rather than bridging two piercings. If you only have one piercing in the area you want to decorate, a charm or single chain accent is the better fit, whereas a connector chain needs two healed points to work. Both styles add movement and personality to an ear stack, so the choice comes down to how many piercings you're working with.

Lobe piercings typically take 6 to 12 weeks to heal, while cartilage placements like helix take 6 to 9 months, so check both timelines before adding a connector. Do not remove your jewellery during the healing phase of either piercing while you wait to style them together. Once both piercings are healed, our piercing specialists can help you fit a connector chain safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook a piercing at SkinKandy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to add more piercings to your ear stack before styling a connector chain?
