About your dolphin helix ring
The dolphin’s curved outline suggests a leap through the water. Its rounded snout, dorsal fin and forked tail make the animal recognisable, while the smooth gold surface keeps the design simple. There are no gemstones or engraved details.
If you enjoy ocean-inspired jewellery, this tiny dolphin helix hoop brings a coastal detail to your ear stack. Pair it with plain gold pieces, or choose it as a thoughtful gift for a dolphin lover.
1. Why you’ll love it
This dolphin cartilage hoop adds a small sea-life detail to the simplicity of a polished gold ring. The approximately 3mm motif is fixed to the hoop itself, so there is no dangling charm.
Wear it alone in your helix piercing, or pair it with plain gold hoops and studs elsewhere on your ear. Its curved silhouette gives your ear stack a subtle coastal touch that is easy to enjoy throughout the year.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The dolphin and hoop are both made from genuine 14ct solid gold, rather than a gold coating over another metal. This solid gold dolphin helix hoop is nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed helix piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, sunny glow
- White gold for a cool, clean finish
- Rose gold for a soft hint of pink
The dolphin is a polished solid-gold shape with no gemstone or stone setting, allowing its curved silhouette to remain the main detail.
3. Choose your fit
Start with how you like a helix hoop to sit around the outer rim of your ear. A smaller inner diameter will usually sit closer, while a larger one gives a little more room. Your piercing position and ear anatomy affect the fit, so the same size can sit differently from person to person.
You can choose a 5, 6 or 7mm inner diameter. If you already have a helix ring that fits well, measure across its inside edge as a starting point. These small sizes will not suit every helix piercing; your piercer can check the space you need.
For the wire thickness, choose the same gauge as the jewellery you already wear:
- 18G = 1.0mm
- 20G = 0.8mm
The dolphin measures approximately 3mm and does not change the stated inner diameter. If you are unsure about your gauge, your piercer can check it for you.
4. How to wear it
This dolphin helix ring is made for a fully healed piercing in the upper outer cartilage of your ear.
When you are ready to put it in, gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions. Pulling them straight apart can change the shape of the circle, so hold the hoop itself rather than the dolphin motif.
Once one end is through your piercing, gently twist the ends back into alignment. If the angle is difficult to reach or you would prefer help, a professional piercer can fit it for you.
