The star on this piercing isn't static. It hangs from a small jump ring, which gives it a bit of its own movement. As you turn your head, the star swings and catches the light from different angles, separate from the hoop itself.

This is a C-shaped piercing with a polished ball on one end. From the curve of the hoop, a small five-pointed star hangs on its own little ring. The star itself is set with six tiny, brilliant-cut stones that catch light from every direction. The whole piece has a high-polish finish, so you'll see reflections running along the curve of the hoop and glinting off the star.

We make this from 14k solid gold, not plated or filled. It's 58.3% pure gold, alloyed for strength, which means it’s tough enough for daily wear and won't tarnish or discolour over time. It's also a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The stud is internally threaded—the screw is on the ball end, not the post. This makes insertion much smoother and less likely to irritate your piercing, especially if it's still healing.

  • Material: 14k Solid Gold
  • Hoop Diameter: 9 mm
  • Stud Thickness: 1.2 mm (16 gauge)
  • Standard Stud Length: 6.5 mm (contact us for 8 mm)
  • Star Dimensions: 5 mm x 5 mm
  • Closure: Internally threaded
  • Sold as: A single piece

People usually pick this one when they want more than a simple stud but don't want a full, closed ring. The dangling star adds movement that you don't get from a fixed piece. It works well in a helix or daith piercing where the drop has room to hang.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the dangling star on this 14k gold piercing get caught in my hair?

It's possible, especially with long hair worn down. The star is small and its edges are smooth, which helps, but any dangling element has a chance of snagging. We'd suggest being mindful when brushing your hair or wearing it up if it becomes a concern.

Can I shower or sleep with the Dangling Star Piercing in?

Yes, you can shower and sleep with it in. Because it's 14k solid gold, water won't harm it, and you can clean it with gentle soap. For sleeping, you might find it more comfortable on the opposite side, as the star could press into you depending on the piercing's location.

How do I know if the 9mm hoop diameter will fit my daith piercing?

The best way to know is to measure the distance from your piercing hole to the edge of your ear cartilage. A 9mm diameter is a common size for daith piercings, but everyone's anatomy is different. If you're unsure, your piercer can tell you the ideal diameter for your ear.

What happens if I order the Dangling Star Piercing and it doesn't fit?

We have a 30-day return policy for that reason. If the piercing doesn't fit or isn't what you expected, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca. We will send you a prepaid shipping label to make the return process straightforward for you.

How long does shipping take for a single piercing to the United States?

Shipping to the US is free for orders over $60 CAD and typically takes between 5 and 15 business days to arrive. You'll receive a tracking number once your order is dispatched so you can follow its journey.
