Summary: We have examined vortex solutions in \((2+1)\)D Chern-Simons-Higgs theory which has no usual Maxwell term. It is shown that the Bogomol’nyi-type equations can be derived for a simple sixth-order Higgs potential and corresponding general \(n\)-vortex solutions should contain \(2n\) free parameters. Various characteristics of Chern-Simons vortices are discussed briefly.
