About your cross tragus ring
The polished cross gives the tragus one clear fixed detail right at the front of the ear. At approximately 3mm, it stays compact enough for this small piercing placement while still being easy to recognise up close.
This is the simple standalone Cross design, with no ground or cemetery detail. It is intentionally different from our Graveyard Cross motif. Wear it with plain gold for a clean stack, or mix it with other small motifs if you prefer a more personal combination.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you want a small motif with a clear shape and possible personal meaning, this cross adds one fixed detail to the tragus 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 tragus 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 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 cross 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 cross as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the ring until the cross faces the way you prefer. Because the motif has a clear upright direction, 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.
