The bottom oval stone isn't fixed in place. It's suspended from a tiny chain that connects to the main stud, so it shimmers and moves with you, catching light from different angles as you turn your head.
This is a labret-style piercing with a flat back disc and an internally threaded post. The front features a round stone held by four prongs. Hanging from the base of this setting is a short, fine-link chain. At the end of that chain, a larger, oval-cut stone is set in a thick-walled bezel that's open on the sides. The entire piece is made from polished 14k rose gold, giving it a warm, coppery colour.
We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. It’s an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold, which means it has a satisfying weight and the rich colour won't ever fade or rub off. Because it's solid gold, it’s also hypoallergenic and won’t tarnish, so you can wear it continuously without worrying about skin irritation. It's a durable piece designed for long-term wear in a new or healed piercing. The internal threading on the stud also makes for a smoother, more comfortable insertion.

Most dangle piercings are quite long. This one is different because the drop is very short and contained. You get the movement and the extra flash of light from the second stone, but it’s compact enough for a helix, flat, or even a conch piercing without getting caught on things.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the chain on the Suspended Oval Drop Piercing get tangled in my hair?
The chain is very short, only 5 mm, which significantly reduces the chance of it tangling. While any dangle style has a small risk, this one is designed to be compact and sit close to the ear, making it much less likely to get caught than longer drop styles.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14k gold piercing in?
Yes, you can shower and sleep with your 14k solid gold piercing. Solid gold is durable and won't tarnish or discolour from water. For sleeping, just be mindful of pressure on a new piercing. We recommend cleaning it with a saline solution after showering to remove any soap residue.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post length is right for my ear piercing?
The 6.5mm post is the standard size for most healed cartilage piercings like the helix, flat, or tragus. If your piercing is new and still swollen, or if your cartilage is naturally thicker, you might need the longer 8mm post. You can measure a comfortable existing stud or ask your piercer.
What happens if I receive my piercing and it doesn't fit?
We have a 30-day return policy. Just contact us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label for an easy return. For hygiene reasons, we can only accept pieces that are in their original, unworn condition.
How long does shipping take for orders to the United States?
Shipping to the US typically takes between 5-15 business days. We offer free shipping on all orders over $60 CAD. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched from our Coquitlam studio, so you can follow its journey.
