The pear-cut stone isn't fixed in place. It hangs from a tiny chain below the round stud, so it catches the light and moves with you. The stud stays anchored, but the drop has its own life.
This is a labret-style piercing with a flat back. The front has a round, four-prong set stone. Connected just underneath the setting is a short, fine-link chain. At the end of that chain, a pear-shaped stone dangles in its own three-prong setting. The whole piece is made from 14k gold, polished to a high shine. The drop is just long enough to create movement without getting in the way.
We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated. It’s 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that make it strong enough for daily wear. This means the colour is there to stay; it won't chip or fade over time. Because it's solid gold, it’s a good choice for sensitive skin or healing piercings. The post is internally threaded, which means the screw is on the inside of the post, so you get a smooth, comfortable insertion that won't scrape your piercing.

Most drop piercings are either hoops or long dangles. This one gives you the look of a simple stud but with a small, suspended element. It’s for when you want a little movement in a cartilage piercing, like a helix or a flat, without committing to a full hoop or a long chain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the dangling chain on the Suspended Pear Drop Piercing get caught in my hair or on my clothes?
The chain is quite short at 5mm, which minimizes the chance of it snagging. We designed it to add movement without being long enough to easily catch on hair or fabric, especially in placements like the flat, conch, or upper lobe where it sits more protected.
Is it safe to shower or sleep with my 14k gold Suspended Pear Drop Piercing in?
Yes, you can shower and sleep with this piercing in. Solid 14k gold won't tarnish from water, and the flat-back design is comfortable for sleeping. Just be sure to pat it dry gently after showering to keep the stones clean and sparkling.
What ear placement works best for the Suspended Pear Drop Piercing's 6.5mm post length?
The standard 6.5mm post fits most healed lobe and cartilage piercings, including the helix, flat, and conch. If your cartilage is thicker or the piercing is still swelling, you might need the 8mm post, which you can request by contacting us after you place your order.
What happens if the Suspended Pear Drop Piercing isn't the right size or I change my mind?
You can return it within 30 days of delivery for a refund or exchange, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy.
How long does shipping take for a single piercing order to the United States?
Shipping to the US and Canada is free on orders over $60 CAD and typically takes 5-15 business days. For orders to the UK and EU, shipping is free over $110 CAD. You'll receive a tracking number once your order is on its way.
