About your cross conch ring
The polished cross sits along the visible outer section of the ring, placing a clean directional motif through the middle of your ear stack. At approximately 3mm, it stays compact enough for everyday wear while still being easy to recognise up close.
This is the simple cross design, with no ground or graveyard detail. Keep the rest of the ear plain for a cleaner look, or mix it with other small motifs elsewhere in the stack. We’ll make each ring to order in the gold colour, gauge and size you choose.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you want a small motif with a clear shape and personal meaning, this cross adds a simple fixed detail to the centre of the ear without the movement of a pendant-style charm. Its approximately 3mm size keeps the design neat rather than oversized.
For some wearers, a cross may reflect faith, remembrance, protection or another personal meaning. Others may simply like the shape. The design does not assume one meaning for everyone.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The cross 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 conch piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, classic finish
- White gold for a cooler, clean look
- Rose gold for a softer contrast
The cross is an approximately 3mm fixed polished solid-gold motif with no gemstones, prongs or dangling parts. It is the simple cross design, distinct from our Graveyard Cross motif.
3. Choose your conch fit
Conch sizing is mainly about how far your piercing sits from the outer edge of your ear. The ring needs enough room to travel from the piercing, around the cartilage and past the outer rim without pressing into the ear.
- 9mm — a very close option for conch piercings positioned relatively near the outer rim, with less cartilage to clear
- 10mm — a close fit for some placements sitting nearer the outer edge
- 11mm — gives a little more room where the piercing sits further into the conch
- 12mm — allows more clearance for deeper placements or thicker cartilage
- 13mm — offers the most room in this range for piercings sitting further inward or for a more open ring look
Every ear is different, so these are starting points rather than fixed sizing rules. If you already have a conch ring that fits comfortably, measure straight across its inside edge and choose the same inner diameter.
For wire thickness, choose the gauge that matches your current conch jewellery: 16G = 1.2mm or 18G = 1.0mm. If you are unsure which gauge you currently wear, check with your piercer before ordering rather than choosing by appearance alone.
4. How to wear it
This seamless cross ring is made for a fully healed conch 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 cross as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the ring until the cross sits where you like it. Because the cross is directional, its final appearance will also depend on your anatomy and piercing angle. If fitting feels difficult, a professional piercer can help fit it safely.
