The five marquise-cut gems aren't just set in a row; they're arranged in a shallow arc. This means the cluster follows the natural curve of the hoop, creating a small crown that sits neatly in a daith or septum piercing.
This is a single hoop made of polished 14k gold. Set along its lower edge is a fan of five marquise-cut stones, held in place by small, tidy prongs. The centre stone is the largest, flanked by two progressively smaller stones on each side. One earring is shown closed, while the other is open, revealing the small, hinged segment that clicks shut to secure it.
We make this piercing from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for strength. It's not a plated piece, which means the colour is solid all the way through and won't rub off or fade over time. Solid gold is also nickel-free and biocompatible, making it a safe choice for new piercings or anyone with sensitive skin. The hinge is tested to provide a firm 'click', so you can feel when it's locked securely.

Most people get this for a daith or septum piercing. The fanned shape of the stones is designed specifically to fill the curve of that anatomy. It gives a full look without the bulk or weight of a larger piece, fitting snugly against the cartilage as if it were made for that exact spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the hinged clasp on the Hoop n Marquise Piercing open accidentally?
No, the hinged segment is designed to click securely into place. You'll hear and feel a distinct 'click' when it's properly closed. It's a very reliable closure for piercings because it won't snag on clothing or hair and requires intentional pressure to open.
Is it safe to shower or sleep with the 14k gold Hoop n Marquise Piercing in?
Yes, you can wear it 24/7, including in the shower and while you sleep. Solid 14k gold won't tarnish or react to water. Just be sure to rinse off any soap or shampoo residue and gently pat it dry to keep the stones and hinge clean.
What piercing is the 8mm Hoop n Marquise Piercing best for?
The 8mm inner diameter is a common size for a snug fit in healed daith and septum piercings. It may also work in some helix piercings, depending on your anatomy and placement. We always recommend measuring your existing jewellery or consulting your piercer to confirm the diameter you need.
What happens if the Hoop n Marquise Piercing doesn't fit my piercing?
We accept returns for unworn piercings within 30 days of delivery. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. Please ensure the jewellery is in its original, unworn condition to be eligible for a full refund or exchange.
