Piercing Earrings

Solid Gold Piercing Jewellery: Diamond & Gemstone Earrings for Helix, Tragus, Conch, Rook and Lobe

Fine piercing jewellery starts with one rule: solid gold only. For any healed piercing — whether it's a first lobe, a helix, a tragus, conch or rook — the material in contact with your skin needs to be implant-safe, non-reactive and built to stay in. That means 14ct solid gold, not plated, not vermeil, not anything that's going to oxidise against a healing or sensitive piercing.

Every piece in the Edge of Ember piercing collection is 14ct solid gold, set with lab-grown diamonds or ethically sourced gemstones. Sold as individual earrings so you can place exactly one style where you want it — or build a complete curated ear stack across multiple piercing positions, mixing and matching styles and stones to create an ear that's entirely your own.

Solid gold piercing earrings by style

Our piercing earring range covers the motifs that work best in cartilage and lobe positions: minimal enough to sit cleanly in a helix or tragus, distinctive enough to be noticed. The solitaire diamond piercing earring — a single lab-grown diamond set in a solid gold stud — is the purist's choice for any piercing position. The trillion diamond piercing earring offers the same clean approach with a triangular-cut stone that catches the light differently. Both work in a lobe, a helix or a tragus without competing with the other pieces around them.

For something with more visual character, our celestial and symbolic styles are made for piercing positions where a single earring becomes a focal point. The moon diamond piercing earring and sun ray diamond piercing earring use lab-grown diamonds set in a radiating or crescent silhouette — both ideal for a helix or upper lobe where the shape is visible from the front. The shooting star piercing earring and lightning bolt piercing earring are the bolder, more graphic options — for piercings that are meant to be seen. The kite diamond drop piercing earring — a diamond-set kite that hangs from the piercing — adds movement without bulk, and works particularly well in a helix or upper lobe position.

Evil eye piercing earrings and gemstone cartilage studs

Our evil eye piercing earrings — available with emerald or white sapphire — bring gemstone colour and symbolic meaning to a cartilage or tragus piercing. The evil eye motif is small enough to sit cleanly in most positions while adding a detail that's unmistakeable up close. For pure emerald colour, our triple emerald piercing earring and sun ray emerald piercing earring offer a vivid green stone set in solid gold — among the most distinctive cartilage piercing earrings in the collection. New additions include the marquise diamond drop piercing earring, solid gold heart piercing earring, star piercing earring and moon piercing earring — all in 14ct solid gold, for healed piercings in any position.

Shop piercing jewellery by location

Different piercing positions call for different styles and fits. Use our dedicated piercing location guides to find the right earring for where you're placing it:

Helix piercing jewellery — the outer cartilage ridge, the most popular cartilage piercing. Flat-back studs and small symbolic motifs work best here. Tragus piercing jewellery — the small cartilage nub at the front of the ear canal. Dainty diamond or gemstone studs that sit flush and close. Conch piercing jewellery — the large flat cartilage area in the centre of the ear. One of the most visible positions — symbolic studs and drop styles with movement work well. Rook piercing jewellery — the inner upper cartilage ridge. A more tucked position that suits delicate, finely-detailed pieces. Daith piercing jewellery — the innermost cartilage fold. A deeply personal piercing position that suits small hoops and curved pieces. Lobe piercing jewellery — from a first lobe to a fourth, our solid gold solitaire studs, gemstone studs and huggie hoops give you the full range of lobe options in 14ct gold.

Why solid gold for piercing jewellery

For any healed piercing, solid gold is the material of choice recommended by professional piercers — it's non-porous, doesn't tarnish, doesn't react with skin, and is safe for long-term wear including in cartilage positions. All Edge of Ember piercing earrings are 14ct solid gold — hallmarked and hypoallergenic. Unlike gold-plated alternatives, there's no base metal to cause irritation once the surface wears. These are pieces designed to stay in permanently, and made from a material that can.
