Enameled Golden Tragus Piercing -Single

Looking to add a bright spot to your ear stack? This little enamel stud brings a clean, vibrant punch of colour right to your tragus. Simple enough for everyday, bold enough to get noticed.

We designed this piece around a perfectly smooth, flat circle of vibrant turquoise enamel. Think robin's egg blue, completely opaque and highly saturated. The enamel sits flush inside a warm yellow gold bezel. The flat back design means it rests comfortably against the inside of your ear without poking you when you sleep or use headphones.

This stud is cast in 14K solid gold. That's exactly 58.3% pure gold mixed with durable metals, which means you get the rich yellow tone alongside the strength for all-day, all-night wear. The bright colour comes from enamel cured to a hard, glossy finish. Because enamel can be sensitive to harsh chemicals, avoid spraying perfume directly onto your ear.

Material: 14K solid yellow gold
Detail: Opaque turquoise blue enamel
Style: Flat-back cartilage/tragus stud
Sold as: A SINGLE piercing
Warranty: 2-year warranty

Sometimes your ear project needs a little personality. This piece breaks up the metallic tones in your stack. A low-maintenance way to wear a favourite colour right up near your face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe for a new tragus piercing?

Yes. 14K solid gold is highly biocompatible. Just ensure your piercer sterilizes it properly before insertion.

Do I need to take this out before showering?

Water and mild soap won't hurt the gold or enamel. Just avoid harsh shampoos, exfoliants, or hair dyes to keep the blue bright.

How should I clean my piercing?

Warm water and a soft cloth for the jewellery. Sterile saline spray for the piercing channel. For full instructions, visit our piercing care page.
