The top marquise stone is fixed, but the bottom one hangs from a tiny chain. It’s designed to have a little bit of swing and catch the light as you move. It’s a stud, but with the movement of a dangle earring.
This is an internally threaded flat back piercing. The back itself is a small, polished flower shape. The front is a vertically set marquise-cut stone, and from its base hangs a short, fine link chain. A second, smaller marquise stone dangles from the end of the chain. The entire piece is made from solid 14k rose gold with a high-polish finish, and the stones are secured in simple two-prong settings.
We make this 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 discolour over time. It's also a good choice for sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded, which means the screw is on the decorative end, not the post itself. This gives you a smooth, rounded tip for insertion that won't scrape or irritate your piercing.
- Material: Solid 14k gold

It’s for when you want the look of a dangle but need the security of a flat back stud. It works well in a helix or conch piercing where a regular earring with a hook wouldn't sit right. It adds that little bit of length and movement without being a full hoop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the chain on the Double Marquise Piercing get tangled in my hair?
A: The chain is quite short and designed to lay flat against the ear, which minimizes tangling. For very long hair, you might occasionally need to free it, but its length and weight keep it from wrapping around the post or getting caught as often as a longer earring might.
Q: Can I wear my 14k gold piercing in the shower or while swimming?
A: Yes, you can wear your solid 14k gold piercing in the shower. Gold is a non-reactive metal that won't tarnish from water. For swimming, especially in chlorinated pools or saltwater, we recommend rinsing the jewellery with fresh water afterward to remove any chemical or salt residue.
Q: How do I know if the 6.5mm post on the Double Marquise Piercing is the right length for my ear?
A: The 6.5mm post is a standard length that fits most healed lobe, helix, and tragus piercings. The best way to be sure is to measure the post of a stud that already fits you well. If your piercing is in a thicker area of cartilage, like a conch, you might need the 8mm length.
Q: What happens if I order a piercing and it doesn't fit?
A: We accept returns on unworn piercings within 30 days. If you find it's not the right fit, just contact us at returns@vanhess.ca. We’ll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the return process simple. Please ensure the jewellery is in its original condition.
Q: How long does shipping take for orders to the United States?
A: Shipping to the US typically takes between 5 and 15 business days. We offer free shipping on qualifying orders over $60 CAD to Canada and the US. You'll receive a tracking number once your order is on its way so you can follow its journey.
