About your ghost helix hoop
This is the more animated ghost in the Halloween collection. It has outstretched arms, two small cut-out eyes, no mouth and a pointed trailing lower body, so the silhouette feels more like a little ghost in flight than a classic rounded sheet ghost.
Wear it through spooky season, keep it in year-round if ghost jewellery is already your thing, or pair it with a pumpkin, bat, witch hat or spider web for a fuller Halloween stack. We’ll make each hoop to order in the gold colour, gauge and size you choose.
1. Why you’ll love it
The flying ghost gives your helix a playful Halloween detail with a little more movement than a classic sheet-ghost shape. The spread arms and pointed lower body make the silhouette easy to recognise while keeping it compact enough for everyday styling.
It’s spooky without feeling dark, making it an easy choice for October, ghost lovers or anyone who likes cute supernatural motifs all year round.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The ghost 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 warmer autumn look
- White gold for a crisp, ghostly finish
- Rose gold for a softer playful contrast
The ghost is a fixed polished solid-gold motif with two cut-out eyes, no gemstones and no dangling parts, so it stays neat 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. Because this ghost has outstretched arms, also allow a little visual clearance around the motif if your piercing sits very close to the rim.
4. How to wear it
This seamless ghost 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 hoop. Hold the hoop itself rather than using the ghost as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the hoop until the ghost 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 flying ghost works nicely as a playful spooky detail near the top of your ear. Pair it with plain gold in the lobes for something subtle, or add a pumpkin, witch hat, bat or spider web lower down for a more obvious Halloween stack.
You can also pair it with the rounded Cute Ghost later in the stack if you want two clearly different ghost silhouettes.
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.
