The four leaves on this clover are polished smooth, but they aren’t flat. Each one is slightly domed, so light rolls across the surface instead of just reflecting off it. It makes the solid gold look almost liquid as it moves.
This is a single flatback stud made of polished 14k gold. On one end, you have a four-leaf clover, with each leaf formed into a soft, rounded shape. The other end is a simple, flat disc that sits flush against your skin. A straight post runs between them. The entire piece is highly polished, catching light in soft highlights that curve around the leaves and the post.
We make this from 14k solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold. The other metals in the alloy give it strength, which means it won't easily bend or warp with daily wear. Because it’s solid gold, not plated, the colour won't ever rub off, and it's a safe choice for sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded—the screw is on the clover top, not the bar. This makes it much smoother to insert and remove, as there are no sharp threads to drag through your piercing.

People often choose this for the comfort of the flatback. If you're tired of traditional earring backs poking you, especially when sleeping or wearing headphones, this design solves that. The disc sits completely flush. It’s a simple, classic shape that works well in almost any cartilage piercing, from the helix to the tragus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Lucky Clover Flatback Piercing have an internally threaded stud?
The stud is internally threaded for a smoother, safer insertion. This means the screw is on the decorative clover end, not the post itself, so no sharp threads pass through your piercing. This design minimizes irritation, especially for new or sensitive piercings in the helix, tragus, or conch.
Can I shower and sleep with my 14k gold Lucky Clover piercing in?
Yes, you can absolutely wear it in the shower and while sleeping. It's made of solid 14k gold, so water won't harm it. The flatback design is specifically made for comfort and won't poke you like a traditional butterfly back, making it ideal for 24/7 wear.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post length on the Lucky Clover piercing is right for my ear?
The 6.5mm length is standard for most healed cartilage piercings like the helix, conch, and tragus. To be sure, you can have a professional piercer measure your ear or measure the post of a comfortable flatback you already own. If your piercing is new or on thicker cartilage, contact us for an 8mm post.
What happens if the Lucky Clover Flatback Piercing doesn't fit or I change my mind?
We have a 30-day return policy. Just contact returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. For hygiene reasons, the piercing must be in its original, unworn condition and sealed packaging to be eligible for a refund or exchange.
How long does shipping take for the Lucky Clover piercing to the US?
Shipping to the US and Canada is free on orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5-15 business days. We also offer free shipping to the UK and Europe for orders over $110 CAD. You'll receive a tracking number once your order has been dispatched from our Coquitlam studio.
