About your cross lobe earring
Two clean intersecting lines give this little cross a balanced, recognisable shape. With no centre stone or extra decoration, the polished motif creates a crisp graphic accent while remaining simple enough for everyday wear.
Wear one in a first, second or upper-lobe piercing, add two for a matching pair or give it to someone who loves minimal solid-gold jewellery. We’ll make each earring to order and pack it ready to feel special from the moment it is opened.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you like cross earrings but want something small and easy to style, this hoop may be just your kind of thing. Its intersecting lines create a clear silhouette up close, while the approximately 3mm size keeps the detail subtle on the ear.
Wear it by itself for one clean accent, pair it with plain gold hoops or studs, or mix it into a stacked lobe look. The earring is sold individually, allowing you to build your ear stack one piece at a time.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The cross and hoop are both made from genuine 14ct solid gold, rather than a gold coating over another metal. This gold cross lobe earring is nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed earlobe piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, sunny glow
- White gold for a cool, clean finish
- Rose gold for a soft hint of pink
The cross is a polished solid-gold shape with no gemstone or stone setting, allowing its clean intersecting lines to remain the main detail.
3. Choose your fit
Start with where your lobe piercing sits and how closely you want the hoop to follow the edge of your ear. A smaller inner diameter usually gives a closer look, while a larger diameter leaves more space below the lobe. Ear shape, lobe thickness and piercing position all affect the final fit.
You can choose an 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12mm inner diameter:
- 8mm — a close fit for many second or upper-lobe placements, or piercings close to the lobe edge
- 9–10mm — a neat everyday hoop for many first and second lobe piercings
- 11–12mm — more room below the lobe and a more visible hoop
If you already own a hoop that fits well, measure straight across its inside edge and choose the same inner diameter. For wire thickness, select the same gauge as the jewellery you already wear:
- 18G = 1.0mm
- 20G = 0.8mm
The cross measures approximately 3mm and does not change the stated inner diameter. These size notes are a guide rather than a guarantee; if you are unsure, ask your professional piercer to check your size.
4. How to wear it
This seamless cross lobe hoop is made for a fully healed earlobe piercing.
Gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions. Do not pull them directly apart, as this can distort the circle. Hold the hoop itself rather than using the cross as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, then twist the ends back into alignment. Rotate the hoop until the cross sits where you prefer. Its final angle can vary slightly with your anatomy and piercing direction. If fitting feels difficult, ask a professional piercer for help.
