This piercing isn't a straight line—the five marquise stones are set in a deliberate curve. It’s designed to follow the natural shape of your ear, tracing the cartilage of a helix or conch piercing instead of just sitting on top of it.
Five marquise-cut stones are arranged in a gentle, asymmetrical arc. A larger stone sits at the bottom, with the other four tapering and climbing upwards. Each stone is held securely by tiny 14k gold prongs, and the entire piece is polished to a high shine. The back is a flat labret disc that sits flush against your skin, making it comfortable to wear.
We make this piercing from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. This means it’s strong enough for constant wear and won't tarnish or turn your skin a different colour. Because it's a biocompatible metal, it's a safe choice for sensitive skin. The post is also internally threaded—the screw is on the decorative top, not the post. This creates a smooth bar that won't scrape or irritate your piercing when you put it in or take it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 14k gold on the Line of Marquise Piercing cause a reaction in my sensitive skin?
No, 14k solid gold is highly unlikely to cause a reaction. It's a biocompatible and nickel-free alloy, which means it's safe for most people with metal sensitivities, even in new or healing piercings. We don't use plated metals for our piercings, only solid gold, for this reason.
Can I shower and sleep with the Line of Marquise Piercing in my ear?
Yes, you can wear your solid gold piercing 24/7, including in the shower and while sleeping. The flat-back design is comfortable for side-sleepers, and the 14k gold won't tarnish from water. Just be sure to gently pat the area dry after showering to keep it clean.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post on the Line of Marquise Piercing will fit my helix piercing?
The 6.5mm length is a standard size that fits most healed helix, conch, and lobe piercings. The best way to be sure is to measure the post of a comfortable-fitting labret you already own. If your ear is a bit thicker, we can make an 8mm post by request.
What happens if I need to return my Line of Marquise Piercing?
We have a 30-day return policy for our jewellery. If the piercing isn't right for you, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca within 30 days of receiving it. We will send you a prepaid shipping label to make the return process simple and free of charge.
How long does shipping take for a piercing to the United States?
Shipping to the US and Canada typically takes 5-15 business days, and we offer free shipping on all orders over $60 CAD. For orders to the UK and Europe, free shipping is available for orders over $110 CAD, with the same estimated delivery window.
