It’s small, but the surface is completely covered in tiny pavé-set stones. When it catches the light, the whole heart shape flashes, not just a single point. It gives a lot of sparkle for such a small piece.
This is a single stud piercing made from 14k yellow gold. The front is a small, slightly domed heart, paved with tiny, round stones that cover the entire surface. The post is a polished bar that connects to a flat, flower-shaped back. Because it’s internally threaded, the post that goes through your skin is completely smooth; the decorative heart front screws into it, not the other way around.
We make this from 14k solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. This means it's durable enough for a piece you'll wear constantly, and it won't discolour or tarnish, even in the shower. Solid gold is also body-safe and a good choice for sensitive skin or healing piercings. The stud is internally threaded. This means the post that goes through your ear is completely smooth, which prevents any scraping or irritation during insertion and removal.

This one is about getting a lot of sparkle into a tiny space. The pavé setting gives it more presence than a single-stone stud of the same size. The flat back also makes it really practical for cartilage piercings like the helix or tragus, where it won't poke you when you're sleeping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Mini Heart Piercing use an internally threaded post?
An internally threaded post is used for your comfort and the health of your piercing. The post itself is smooth, so it won't scrape the inside of your piercing channel when you insert or remove it. The decorative heart top is what has the screw, which goes inside the post.
Can I wear my 14k gold heart piercing in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear your 14k gold heart piercing in the shower. Solid 14k gold is durable and won't tarnish or be damaged by water. For swimming, especially in chlorinated pools or the ocean, we suggest rinsing the piercing with fresh water afterwards to remove any residue.
Will the 6.5mm post on the Mini Heart Piercing fit my tragus piercing?
A 6.5mm post is a standard length that fits most healed tragus, helix, and lobe piercings well. However, everyone's anatomy is different. If you have thicker cartilage or are fitting a new piercing that might swell, you may need a longer 8mm post, which you can request.
What happens if I order the Mini Heart Piercing and it doesn't fit?
If the piercing doesn't fit, you can return it within 30 days of purchase, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy for you.
How long does shipping for a piercing take to the United States?
Shipping to the US typically takes between 5 to 15 business days. We offer free shipping on qualifying orders over $60 CAD to Canada and the United States. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is on its way.
