This isn't a static stud. A single chain drops from the main setting, letting a smaller marquise stone swing freely below the first. The two stones catch light at different angles, creating a constant, subtle flicker of movement.
This is a 14k rose gold labret stud. The main setting holds a 5mm marquise-cut stone in four prongs. A 5mm link chain is attached to the bottom of this setting, ending with a smaller 3mm marquise stone. The whole piece is polished to a mirror finish. The post is internally threaded and secures into a flat, flower-shaped back designed for a comfortable fit in cartilage piercings.
We make this piercing from 14k solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength and colour. This means it’s durable enough for everyday wear and won't tarnish or turn your skin green over time. It's also nickel-free, so it's a safe bet for sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded, which means the screw threads are on the decorative top, not the post itself. It just slides in smoothly without scraping or irritating your piercing.

You get the security of a flat-back stud with the movement of a drop earring. It’s for when you want a little more action in your helix or upper lobe piercing, but a full hoop or a long dangle feels like too much. It adds just enough motion to catch the eye.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the chain on the Suspended Marquise Drop Piercing get caught in my hair?
It's possible, but the chain is very short (5mm) and hangs close to the ear, which minimizes catching. If you have long hair, you might be more aware of it at first, but most people find it doesn't snag any more than a small hoop earring would.
Is it safe to shower with my 14k gold piercing in?
Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold piercing. Solid gold isn't harmed by water. Just be sure to gently pat the area dry afterward to avoid moisture buildup, which can irritate the piercing channel. We'd recommend avoiding harsh soaps directly on the jewellery itself.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post on this piercing will fit my cartilage?
A 6.5mm post is the standard length for a healed cartilage piercing like a helix, conch, or tragus. The best way to know for sure is to have a piercer measure your ear, or measure the post of a stud you already own that fits well. We offer an 8mm length for thicker cartilage.
What happens if my Vanhess Jewellery piercing doesn't fit or I don't like it?
