The skull isn't fused to the bar. It’s a separate, three-dimensional charm that dangles from a small loop on the bottom sphere. This gives it a bit of swing and movement, so it catches the light as you go about your day.

This is a classic curved barbell for a navel piercing, made from polished yellow gold. It has a smaller ball at the top and a larger one at the bottom. The surface is so reflective you can see the light warp across it. Hanging from the bottom ball is a tiny, detailed skull charm, complete with hollowed-out eyes and a full set of teeth. It’s a clean design with a single, sharp point of detail.

We make this from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it’s tough enough for daily wear and won't tarnish or change colour over time. It's also a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The barbell itself is a standard 1.25mm thickness. And because we stand by our work, every piece of jewellery, including this one, comes with a two-year warranty that covers any manufacturing defects.

  • Material: 14K Solid Gold

  • Sold as: One single piercing
  • Warranty: 2-year warranty

Some skull jewellery can feel a bit loud or costume-like. This one is different because the skull is small and the rest of the piercing is just clean, polished gold spheres. It’s a way to wear the motif without it taking over. The detail is there when you look closely, but from a distance, it's all about the glint of gold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 14k solid gold belly piercing safe for a new or still-healing navel piercing?

Yes, it is. Solid 14k gold is biocompatible and nickel-free, making it one of the safest materials for new and healing piercings. It won't cause irritation or interfere with the healing process, unlike plated jewellery which can flake and expose base metals to your skin.

Can I shower and sleep with the 14k gold Skull Belly Piercing in?

Yes, you can absolutely wear your solid gold piercing in the shower and while you sleep. The material won't tarnish or be damaged by water or soap. For sleeping, just be mindful of catching it on bedding, especially if the piercing is still relatively new.

Will the 1.25mm barbell on the Skull Belly Piercing fit my navel piercing if it was done at a standard 14 gauge?

Yes, but it will be a slightly looser fit. A standard navel piercing is 1.6mm (14 gauge), while this bar is 1.25mm (16 gauge). It's perfectly safe to wear a thinner gauge, but be aware that your piercing may shrink to the new, smaller size over time.

What happens if I receive the Skull Belly Piercing and it doesn't fit or I change my mind?

You can return the piercing within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund or exchange, provided it's in new, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy and free for you.
