This isn't a static piece of jewellery. The three chains are designed to move independently of each other, so they catch light from different angles as you turn your head. It’s made for motion.

Three marquise-cut diamonds are set in a slight curve at the top of the stud. From under each diamond, a fine, individual cable chain dangles down, ending in a small pear-cut diamond. The entire piece is cast in polished 14k rose gold, giving it a warm, coppery colour. The chains are distinct enough that they don't blur into a single mass.

We make this piercing from solid 14k rose gold, which is 58.3% pure gold. The rest is a mix of copper and silver alloys that gives the metal its strength and its characteristic warm colour. Because it's solid gold, not plated, the colour won't ever fade or rub off. It's also nickel-free, which means it’s a good choice for sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded, so it slides in smoothly without irritating your piercing.

You'd pick this for the way the chains drape down your ear. It has a length and movement that a standard stud just doesn't. It's particularly suited for a flat or conch piercing where the chains can hang freely and trace the curve of your cartilage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the chains on the Rainfall Piercing get tangled in my hair or feel heavy?

No, the chains are very fine and lightweight, so you likely won't feel their weight. While long hair can sometimes catch on any jewellery, the smooth polish and design of the Rainfall Piercing minimize tangling. It works especially well in placements like the flat or conch.

Is it safe to shower or swim with the 14k gold Rainfall Piercing in?

Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold piercing. Solid gold doesn't tarnish from contact with water. We do recommend rinsing it with fresh water and drying it gently after swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water to maintain its shine and protect the gemstones.

How do I know if the 6.5mm or 8mm post length is right for my piercing?

The 6.5mm post is our standard and fits most healed cartilage piercings. If your cartilage is on the thicker side, or your piercing is new and still has some swelling, the 8mm length provides extra room. We recommend measuring the post of a well-fitting existing earring for the best fit.

What happens if the Rainfall Piercing doesn't fit or I change my mind?

You can return the piercing within 30 days of delivery, as long as it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on any worn piercings.

How long does shipping take for the Rainfall Piercing and is it free?

Shipping is free for qualifying orders to Canada/US (over $60 CAD) and UK/EU (over $110 CAD). Once shipped, orders typically arrive within 5-15 business days. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as it leaves our Coquitlam studio so you can follow its journey.
