This isn't a simple five-point star. It's a full starburst, with sixteen distinct points and a tight cluster of seventeen diamonds that catch light from every angle. It has more fire than you'd expect from something so small, even in low light.
You're looking at a 16-point starburst cast in polished 14k rose gold. It’s not flat; the points have a slight angle, giving the piece dimension. There are seventeen diamonds in total: one at the very centre, a halo of eight more packed tightly around it, and then a single diamond set into each of the eight longer points. The eight shorter points are solid, polished gold, which creates a clean contrast against the pavé stones.
We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it’s tough enough for a new piercing or daily wear without bending. It also won't tarnish or discolour your skin, even if you wear it in the shower. The back is an internally threaded stud. This means the post is smooth, so it won't scrape your piercing when you put it in or take it out.

Most star piercings are either tiny studs or big, flat shapes. This one finds a middle ground. It has a lot of dimension and sparkle packed into a small footprint, so it sits nicely in a helix or flat piercing without looking bulky. It's substantial without being overwhelming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the points on the Starburst Piercing poke me or get caught in my hair?
No, the points on the Starburst Piercing are polished smooth and slightly rounded at the tips to prevent poking. While any jewellery can catch on hair, the compact design and relatively low profile of this piece make it less likely to snag than larger, sharper designs.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14k gold Starburst Piercing in?
Yes, you can safely shower and sleep with your piercing in. Solid 14k gold is durable and won't tarnish or react to water. For sleeping, especially with a fresh piercing, we just recommend being mindful of your position to avoid putting direct pressure on the area.
How do I know if the 6.5mm stud on the Starburst Piercing will fit my ear?
The 6.5mm post is the standard length for most healed cartilage piercings like the helix, tragus, and conch. To be sure, you can measure the post of a piercing that already fits you well. If your cartilage is on the thicker side, we can make an 8mm post for you on request.
What happens if I need to return the Starburst Piercing?
You can return the piercing within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, as long as 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.
Will I have to pay for shipping for my Starburst Piercing order to the US or UK?
We offer free shipping on orders over $60 CAD to Canada and the US, and over $110 CAD to the UK and Europe. If your order qualifies, the shipping fee will be automatically waived at checkout. Standard shipping typically takes between 5 and 15 business days to arrive.
