The Rule of Thirds: Creating Balance with Threes

The Rule of Thirds is the concept that visual art is most aesthetically pleasing or satisfying when balanced in threes. Using this concept as a guideline, the space within art or containing the subject should be imagined as divided into three equal parts vertically and horizontally. And when satisfying the Rule of Thirds, the important compositional elements are placed along the lines or their intersections.

Triple Flat

The flat of the ear is a fantastic space to place a curation of three piercings. This part of the ear has a lot of space to work in allowing room for larger statement pieces. Following the curvature of your anatomy can create a really striking and unique to you look.

Triple Forward Helix

Forward helix piercings are very elegant, however most clients have limited space on this part of their ear and must have a consultation to determine how many piercings can sit comfortably. This placement usually calls for the use of more delicate or petite jewelry, but for those who have the anatomy for a triple forward helix, small jewelry becomes a big statement.

Triple Earlobes

Earlobe piercings are a classic, and in recent years placements on the lobe have been reimagined in exciting ways. Triples in this area bring an eye pleasing balance. They also can be done in a multitude of ways: with rings or with studs, uniform jewelry, or graduating shapes and sizes.
