This isn't a simple round stud. The marquise-cut diamond gives it a distinct point, which you can orient up, down, or sideways in your piercing. It’s a tiny detail that changes the whole line of the piece depending on how you twist it in.
You’re looking at a single 14k solid gold piercing stud. The top is one marquise-cut diamond, set vertically with small, neat prongs that keep the profile low. It's longer than it is wide—just over 3 mm from tip to tip. The post is straight and connects to a flat disc on the back, so it sits flush against your skin. The entire piece is polished, from the warm gold to the facets on the diamond.
We make this from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength. This means it’s durable enough for a permanent piercing and the colour won't ever fade or rub off. Because it’s solid gold, not plated, it’s a good choice if you have sensitive skin or metal allergies. The post is also internally threaded, which means the screw is on the removable top, not the post. This gives you a smooth, solid bar to guide through your piercing, so it won't scrape or irritate the tissue on its way in.

People usually pick this one for its size. It's really small and low-profile, which makes it a great fit for tight spots like a tragus or a forward helix. The flat back also means it’s comfortable enough to sleep in, without a traditional post jabbing you from behind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Dainty Drop Diamond Piercing get caught on hair or clothes?
It’s less likely to snag than you might think. The diamond is set very low in its prongs and the entire piece is only about 3mm long. While any piercing can catch, its small, low-profile design helps it sit close to the skin, minimizing the risk with hair or clothing.
Is it safe to shower or sleep with my 14k gold Dainty Drop piercing in?
Yes, you can shower and sleep with it in. Solid 14k gold won't tarnish or be damaged by water. The flat-back design is specifically made for comfort, so you can sleep on that side without the post poking you. Just be sure to gently pat the area dry after showering.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post on the Dainty Drop piercing will fit my ear?
The 6.5mm post is the standard length for most healed cartilage piercings, like a helix, conch, or tragus. The best way to be sure is to measure the post of a stud that already fits you well, or ask your piercer for the measurement. If your cartilage is on the thicker side, we can make an 8mm post for you on request.
What happens if I receive the Dainty Drop piercing and it's not what I expected?
You can return it within 30 days of delivery for a refund or exchange. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label. We just ask that the jewellery is sent back in its original, unworn condition.
How long does shipping take for a single piercing stud to the United States?
Shipping to the US is free on orders over $60 CAD and typically takes between 5 and 15 business days. Once your order ships from our Coquitlam studio, we’ll send you a tracking number so you can follow its journey. Orders below the free shipping threshold have a flat shipping rate.
