The head of the snake is angled up and away from the body. It’s a small detail, but it gives the entire piece a sense of dimension and movement as it sits on the ear, catching light from more than one angle.

A solid gold snake coils into a compact S-shape. Its entire surface, from the triangular head down to the tapering tail, is covered in pavé-set round diamonds. The stones are packed tightly together, creating an almost continuous, textured surface of light. The back of the snake and its flat-back stud are polished to a high shine, a clean contrast to the diamond-covered front.

We make this piercing from solid 14k gold, not plated. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys, which means it’s durable enough for a piece you'll wear constantly without it bending or losing its shape. It also means the colour is deep and won't tarnish or turn your skin green. The post is internally threaded, which means the screw is on the post itself, not the end. This makes it smoother and far less irritating to push through your piercing.

The tight coiling of this snake makes it work in places where longer, more stretched-out designs won't fit. It's designed to sit neatly in a flat, conch, or helix piercing without overwhelming the space, giving you a lot of intricate detail in a compact form.
