The star charm isn't static. It hangs from a tiny link below the main stone, so it has its own movement. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference in how the light catches the piece as you go about your day.
This is a flat-back labret piercing. At the top, a round 3mm stone sits in a classic four-prong setting. A small, polished gold link connects this stud to a dangling five-point star. The star's frame is solid gold, and its centre is filled with a tight cluster of smaller pavé-set stones mixed with tiny gold granules. The whole piece is polished to a high shine.
We make this from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. This isn’t a plated piece, which means the warm gold colour won't fade or tarnish, even if you wear it in the shower. Solid gold is also biocompatible and nickel-free, making it a safe choice for fresh piercings or sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded, so the smooth bar is what passes through your piercing, not the screw threads. This prevents irritation when you're putting it in.

People often choose this when they want the movement of a dangle earring but in a tiny cartilage piercing. It's small enough for a tragus or helix, but the dangling star adds a bit of life that a simple stud doesn't have. It's not heavy at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the dangling star on the Fallen Star Piercing get caught on my hair?
Yes, it's possible for the dangling star to occasionally catch on things like long hair or knit sweaters. The piece is quite small, which minimizes the risk, but the nature of a dangle means it can snag. We recommend being mindful when brushing your hair or pulling clothing over your head.
Can I wear my 14k gold Fallen Star Piercing in the shower?
Yes, you can wear your solid 14k gold piercing in the shower, as water won't harm it. We do suggest removing it before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as harsh chemicals can dull the gold over time. After any exposure to chemicals, a quick rinse with fresh water is a good idea.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post length of the Fallen Star Piercing will fit my ear?
The 6.5mm post is a standard length that fits most healed helix, conch, and lobe piercings. The best way to be sure is to measure the post of a comfortable flat-back earring you already own. If your piercing is in a thicker part of your cartilage or is still swelling, you might need the 8mm length.
What happens if the Fallen Star Piercing doesn't fit or I change my mind?
You can return the piercing within 30 days of purchase, provided it is in its original, unworn condition. For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on worn body jewellery. To start a return, please contact us at returns@vanhess.ca for a prepaid shipping label and instructions.
How long does shipping take for jewellery orders to the United States?
Shipping is free on qualifying orders to Canada and the US (over $60 CAD) and to the UK and EU (over $110 CAD). It typically takes between 5-15 business days to arrive. You'll receive a tracking number once your order is dispatched so you can follow its journey.
