About your coffin tragus ring
The polished coffin gives the tragus a strong gothic detail right at the front of the ear. Its recognisable silhouette is finished with a raised inset frame border, adding depth while keeping the design compact and fixed to the ring.
It works as an October accent, a year-round alternative detail or part of a fuller spooky stack with a bat, spider web, graveyard cross or ghost. There are no gemstones, enamel panels or dangling parts competing with the coffin shape.
1. Why you’ll love it
The coffin gives the tragus a darker Halloween and gothic feel than playful seasonal motifs such as pumpkins or ghosts. The raised inset frame makes the silhouette more defined, while the fixed polished construction keeps it neat enough for a compact front-of-ear placement.
Wear it for spooky season, build it into an alternative ear stack, or keep it in year-round if coffin jewellery is already part of your style.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The coffin and ring are both made from genuine 14ct solid gold, rather than a gold coating over another metal. It’s nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed tragus piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warmer autumn contrast
- White gold for a cooler gothic look
- Rose gold for a softer alternative finish
The coffin is a fixed polished solid-gold motif with a raised inset frame border. There are no gemstones, prongs, enamel or dangling parts.
3. Choose your tragus fit
Tragus sizing depends on how close your piercing sits to the cartilage edge, how thick your tragus is and the angle of the piercing.
- 5mm: a very close option for piercings sitting nearer the tragus edge, with less cartilage to clear
- 6mm: gives a little more room and can be a useful middle starting point for many tragus placements
- 7mm: offers more clearance for thicker cartilage, piercings sitting further inward or anyone who prefers a slightly less snug look
Every ear is different, so these are starting points rather than fixed sizing rules. If you already have a tragus ring that fits comfortably, measure straight across its inside edge and choose the same inner diameter.
For wire thickness, match the jewellery you already wear: 18G = 1.0mm or 20G = 0.8mm. If you are unsure which gauge you currently wear, ask your piercer before ordering.
4. How to wear it
This seamless coffin ring is made for a fully healed tragus piercing.
Gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions. Try not to pull them straight apart, as that can change the shape of the ring. Hold the ring itself rather than using the coffin as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the ring until the coffin faces the way you prefer. Because the motif has a clear top and bottom, its final angle can vary slightly with your anatomy and piercing direction. If fitting feels difficult, a professional piercer can help fit it safely.
If you regularly wear in-ear headphones, keep in mind that tragus anatomy, ring size and earbud shape vary, so some earbuds may sit differently with tragus jewellery in place.
