The edges of each petal are finished with a fine beaded texture. It’s an old technique that breaks up the light, giving the gold a softer glow instead of a hard, polished shine. It’s something you notice up close.
A six-petalled flower made from 14k rose gold. The petals are open frames, not solid, with pointed ends that give it a star-like shape. A single, round diamond sits in a simple bezel setting at the centre, holding it secure. The outline of each petal is detailed with a fine, dotted texture. It sits relatively flat, casting a light shadow on the skin.
We make this from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength. It's not gold-plated, which means the colour is solid all the way through and won't flake or rub off over time. The stud is internally threaded. That means the screw is on the post, not the decorative end, so it slides into your piercing without scraping the channel. It’s more comfortable, especially for healing or sensitive piercings.

Most flower piercings are rounder and softer. This one has a more graphic shape because of the six pointed petals and the openwork design. It’s a flower, but it’s not overly delicate. The internal threading also makes it a practical choice for cartilage piercings that you don't take out often.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an internally threaded stud like the one on the Sunflower Diamond Piercing better for a healing piercing?
Yes, internally threaded jewellery is often recommended for healing piercings. The thread is on the post itself, not the end that passes through your ear. This creates a smooth surface that's less likely to irritate or tear the piercing channel during insertion or removal.
Can I wear my 14k gold Sunflower Diamond Piercing in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear solid 14k gold in the shower. It's a durable metal that won't tarnish from water alone. We do suggest rinsing it with fresh water and drying it after swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water to keep the diamond and gold looking their best.
How do I know if the 6.5mm stud on the Sunflower Diamond Piercing is the right length for my ear?
The 6.5mm length is standard for most healed cartilage piercings like the helix, conch, or tragus. The best way to be sure is to have your piercer measure your ear, or you can measure the post of a comfortable stud you already own. We can also make an 8mm length on request.
What happens if I need to return the Sunflower Diamond Piercing because it doesn't fit?
You can return it within 30 days of delivery, 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 and instructions. For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on worn piercings.
Is shipping free for the Sunflower Diamond Piercing to the United States?
Yes, we offer free standard shipping to the US and Canada on orders over $60 CAD. For orders to the UK and EU, free shipping applies to orders over $110 CAD. You can expect your package to arrive within 5-15 business days.
