The charm on this piercing isn't fixed. It dangles from the main cluster, so it moves independently and catches light from different angles. This adds a bit of motion to a part of the ear that's usually static, like the flat or conch.
This is an internally threaded flat-back stud, made from polished 14k rose gold. The top is a flat, circular disc set with seven small, round cubic zirconia stones in a tight cluster. A small link connects this cluster to a single, dangling charm—a smaller round stone held in a smooth bezel setting.
We make this piercing from solid 14k gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it won't tarnish or discolour, even with daily wear. It's also a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded, so the screw goes inside the post. This creates a smooth tip for insertion that won't scrape your piercing channel. The flat disc on the back sits flush against your skin, making it comfortable enough to sleep in.

People choose this when they want the movement of a charm without the full circle of a hoop. It lets you add a dangling element to piercings like a conch or flat, where a hoop can be awkward. It’s a way to get that little bit of motion from a secure stud.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the charm on the Orbital Charm Piercing get caught in my hair?
The charm is quite small and the links are short, so it's less likely to snag than a longer earring. However, like any dangling jewellery, it's a good idea to be mindful when brushing your hair or pulling sweaters over your head, especially when the piercing is new.
Is it safe to shower and sleep with the 14k gold Orbital Charm Piercing in?
Yes, you can shower and sleep with this piercing in. Solid 14k gold won't be damaged by water, and the flat-back design is specifically made to be comfortable for sleeping. We recommend gently patting it dry after a shower to keep it clean and sparkling.
What ear placement works best for the Orbital Charm Piercing's 6.5mm post length?
The 6.5mm post is a standard length that fits most healed helix, conch, flat, and lobe piercings. For thicker cartilage or a new piercing that needs swelling room, we can make an 8mm post by request. It's always best to have your piercer measure you for a perfect fit.
What happens if I need to return the Orbital Charm Piercing?
We have a 30-day return policy. If the piercing isn't right for you, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca to start the process. We will send you a prepaid shipping label for you to send it back to our studio in Coquitlam.
