The two-prong setting leaves the sides of the marquise diamond completely open. This lets light pass straight through, so it doesn't need to be big to catch your eye. It's all about how the stone is cut and held.

This is a single labret-style piercing. The top is a marquise-cut diamond, held vertically with a tiny prong at the top and bottom points. This design leaves the long, curved sides of the stone completely open to the light. The post and setting are polished 14k rose gold, and the back is a flat, clover-shaped disc that sits flush against your skin. It's a comfortable design, especially if you sleep in your jewellery.

We make this stud from solid 14k gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that make it durable enough for a piece you'll live in. This means it won't tarnish or turn your skin a different colour, even if you get it wet. It's also hypoallergenic, so it's a safe choice for fresh or sensitive piercings. The post is internally threaded, which means the top screws into the post, preventing the threads from scraping your piercing when you put it in.

People usually pick this stud for its shape. A round stud makes a dot on your ear, but this marquise cut creates a clean, vertical line. It’s a small way to play with geometry, especially if you’re stacking piercings in your helix or lobe and want something other than another circle.
