This stud sits completely flat against the skin, making it really comfortable for cartilage piercings like a helix or tragus. The gem is set flush into the gold, so the entire surface is smooth and won't snag on hair or your pillowcase.
This is a small, solid gold stud shaped like a symmetrical hand with a thumb on each side. The surface is polished to a mirror finish, so it throws back a lot of light. Dead in the centre of the palm sits one round, brilliant-cut cubic zirconia. It’s held in place by a bezel setting—a smooth collar of gold that wraps around the stone's edge, keeping the entire front of the piercing smooth.
We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength, which means it’s durable enough for 24/7 wear. It won't tarnish or discolour, and it’s a good choice for sensitive skin. The stud is internally threaded. This means the screw is on the backing, so the post that goes through your ear is completely smooth. It won't scrape or irritate the piercing channel, which is especially important for new or sensitive piercings.
- Material: Solid 14k gold, cubic zirconia

This is the one you get when you want a distinct shape that won't get in the way. Its profile is totally flat, so it's comfortable to sleep on, especially in a conch or helix piercing. You get the look of the hand symbol without any parts that stick out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 14k gold Hand and Eye Piercing irritate my new cartilage piercing?
Yes, 14k solid gold is a safe choice for new and healing piercings. It's biocompatible and nickel-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin. While we always suggest waiting for a piercing to fully heal before changing jewellery, solid gold is the material you want to use when you're ready.
Can I wear my Hand and Eye Gem Piercing in the shower or when I go swimming?
Yes, you can wear this piercing in the shower. Solid 14k gold won't be damaged by water or regular soap. We do recommend rinsing it with fresh water after swimming to wash away any chlorine or salt, which can dull the gold's shine over time.
How do I know if the 6.5mm post on the Hand and Eye stud is the right length for my tragus piercing?
The 6.5mm post is the standard length for most healed cartilage piercings, including the tragus. The best way to check is to measure a post from another flat-back stud that fits you well. If your ear is a bit thicker, you may need the 8mm length, which you can request.
What happens if I buy the Hand and Eye Piercing and it doesn't fit or I change my mind?
You can return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll reply with a prepaid shipping label to make the return process simple for you.
How long does shipping take for the Hand and Eye Piercing to the US, and is it free?
Shipping is free on orders over $60 CAD to Canada and the US, and it typically takes 5-15 business days to arrive. We also offer free shipping to the UK and EU for orders over $110 CAD. You’ll get a tracking number as soon as your package is on its way.
