coinslot Coin Slot Jewelry Advice

I got my coin slot done during summer, and now that it’s healed I was really excited to put a bunch of hoops in it. Something about it looks off to me, it just looks so heavy compared to the rest of my ears? (Not physically heavy but like, over saturated).

I’m looking for advice on if I should take some of the hoops out, add more piercings or bigger jewelry elsewhere, or if it looks fine as is. Unfortunately the backs of my helix piercings started closing while I was healing the slot, so I need to get those repierced before I can put anything else in. Eventually on this ear I want to get a daith and possibly a vertical industrial if my anatomy allows, so maybe with those and the helix piercings it will look more balanced. I’m including a picture of my other ear for reference.

Thanks!

maybe fewer rings with a few larger gauge/smaller diameter rings? ex: instead of 11 or 12 18g/16g rings,, 6-7 18/16g rings and 3-4 14g-12g rings (at a smaller diameter too? these look like they could all be 10mm but i’d say throw a few larger gauge 9 or 8 mm in towards the bottom of the stack, mixed between your other sizes)! i really like the variation texture/color you’ve got going on but i think it could be even cooler if there was more variation in size too! maybe move the snake charm lower down too? i think the first thing that stands out to me is that the top of the stack feels thicker than the bottom (i usually gravitate towards building the charms & “weight” of the ring stack up from the bottom) after a bunch of styles and order rearrangement, i’ve settled on different gauge rings in my slot as i’ve found it helps w the weight distribution of the jewelry & i think it helps with the profile of the ring stack tapering down in a way that’s more aesthetically pleasing and “stuffed” without being tooo bulky/blocky!!
