This piercing is all about movement. Five separate chains dangle from a cluster of marquise stones, each one ending in a small, bezel-set stone. It's designed to shift and sway, so it never looks the same way twice on your ear.
At the top, you have a fan of five marquise-cut stones set in 14k gold, with the largest one right in the centre. From the base of each stone hangs a delicate, fine-gauge gold chain. The chains are staggered at slightly different lengths to create a cascading effect, and each one is finished with a tiny, round stone held in a smooth bezel setting.
We make this from solid 14k gold, which means it’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with stronger alloys. It’s not plated, so the gold colour is permanent and won't flake or rub off. The alloys add durability, which means it can handle being worn all the time without you having to worry about it. The post is internally threaded, so the part that slides through your ear is completely smooth. This makes insertion much more comfortable and won't scrape or irritate your piercing.

This piece combines the look of a curved cluster stud with the length and motion of a chain earring. It’s a way to get a lot of coverage and movement from a single post, making it a great option for filling out a helix or flat piercing without needing multiple holes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the chains on the Waterfall Piercing get tangled in my hair?
Yes, the fine chains can sometimes catch on long hair, especially when it’s worn down. We recommend being mindful when brushing your hair or sleeping. Tying your hair back can help prevent any snagging and keep both your hair and your piercing happy.
Can I shower with my 14k gold Waterfall Piercing in?
Yes, you can shower while wearing your 14k gold Waterfall Piercing. Solid gold isn't harmed by water, but you should gently pat the area dry afterward. This prevents moisture from getting trapped in the piercing channel and ensures the chains don’t catch on your towel.
What ear placement works best for the Waterfall Piercing?
The Waterfall Piercing is most popular for flat and helix piercings. The curved cluster is designed to follow the natural shape of the cartilage, letting the chains hang straight down. It can work in a conch piercing, but you'll want to ensure there's enough room for the chains to drape without getting caught.
What happens if I need to return the Waterfall Piercing?
You can return the Waterfall Piercing within 30 days of delivery, as long as it's in its original, unworn condition. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we will provide you with a prepaid shipping label to make the process simple.
How long does shipping for the Waterfall Piercing take to the US?
