Enameled Star Piercing -Single

Looking for a tiny pop of contrast for your ear stack? Our Enameled Star Piercing brings a fresh, playful edge to your everyday lineup. The kind of little detail that pulls a whole curated ear together.

This flat-back stud features a crisp, five-pointed star cast in warm 14K gold. Right in the centre, smooth milky-white enamel. The contrast between the creamy white filling and the polished gold border creates a sharp, graphic look, which means this little star won't get lost even in a busy helix or tragus stack. It sits flush against the skin for a clean, seamless finish.

We craft this from solid 14K gold. That's exactly 58.3% pure gold blended with stronger metals, which means you get that rich colour alongside serious durability. Unlike plated pieces, this solid metal won't flake, tarnish, or turn your skin green. The white enamel is hand-applied and cured to a hard, resilient finish.

Material: 14K solid gold
Accent: Hand-applied milky-white enamel
Style: Flat-back stud (cartilage, helix, conch, or lobes)
Sold as: A SINGLE PIERCING
Warranty: 2-year warranty

If you love a curated ear, texture and colour are your best friends. This enameled star breaks up the monotony of plain metal hoops and diamond studs. A subtle, youthful charm that keeps things completely polished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sleep with this in?

Absolutely. The flat-back disc rests completely flush against the back of your ear. No poking or snagging on your pillowcase.

Will the white enamel chip?

We use hard-cured enamel for daily wear. It's tough. Just keep it away from harsh chemicals and the white finish stays crisp for years.

Is this safe for a fresh piercing?

14K gold is hypoallergenic, but we recommend getting pierced with titanium first. Once fully healed, this star is the perfect upgrade.

What if it's not right for me?
