About your flower helix hoop
Soft rounded petals give this little flower a simple, friendly shape. It sits across the visible front of the hoop, so once it’s in your helix you get a small floral detail right along the outer edge of your ear.
It’s easy to keep simple with plain gold in the lobes, but it also looks lovely with a heart, star or another tiny motif lower down. We’ll make each hoop to order in the gold colour, gauge and size you choose.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you like floral jewellery but prefer something small and easy to wear, this little flower keeps things light. The rounded petals make the shape clear up close, while the compact design sits neatly around the cartilage.
Wear it as the only motif near the top of your ear, pair it with a plain lobe hoop, or mix it with another tiny shape lower down for a softer, playful stack.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The flower and hoop 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 helix piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, sunny tone
- White gold for a cooler, clean look
- Rose gold for a soft touch of pink
The flower is a polished solid-gold shape with no gemstones or dangling parts, keeping the whole piece neat and easy to wear around the outer ear.
3. Choose your helix fit
Not sure whether to choose 5, 6 or 7mm? Start by looking at how close your helix piercing sits to the outer edge of your ear. Cartilage thickness and piercing angle can make a difference too.
- 5mm — a very close fit for piercings sitting close to the rim, with little cartilage to clear
- 6mm — a neat close fit for many helix placements near the outer edge
- 7mm — gives a little more room if your piercing sits further in, your cartilage is thicker, or you simply prefer a less snug look
Every ear is a little different, so these are starting points rather than fixed rules. If you already have a helix hoop that fits well, 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. The flower itself is approximately 3mm, so it stays small and tidy along the ear.
4. How to wear it
This seamless flower hoop is made for a fully healed helix 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 circle. Hold the hoop itself rather than using the flower as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the hoop until the flower sits where you like it. The final angle can vary slightly from ear to ear depending on anatomy and piercing direction.
5. Style your helix
The flower makes a soft little top detail for an ear stack. Keep the lobes simple with plain gold if you want the flower to stand out, or add a heart, star or another small motif lower down for a more playful mix.
We’ll make your hoop to order and pack it in a STEPOY jewellery box with a gift bag and thank-you card, so it’s ready to keep or give.
