A closer look at your graveyard cross rook hoop
This design uses a fixed polished cross with a low ground-like base beneath it, giving the motif a tiny graveyard feel while still keeping the shape compact enough for a rook hoop.
It is intentionally different from our P15 Cross, which is a simple standalone cross without the base. If you want the darker Halloween version, this is the one.
1. Why you’ll love it
The little ground-like base changes the mood of the motif straight away, giving it more of a spooky graveyard feel than a classic plain cross. It adds personality to the rook while still staying neat and easy to wear with the rest of your stack.
Wear it on its own as one darker seasonal detail, or pair it with a bat, ghost, coffin or spider web elsewhere in the ear for a fuller Halloween stack.
2. Solid gold, never plated
Both the graveyard cross motif and the hoop are made from genuine 14ct solid gold, not a gold coating over another metal. It’s nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed rook piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warmer vintage-Halloween feel
- White gold for a cooler, sharper contrast
- Rose gold for a softer alternative
The motif is a fixed polished solid-gold cross with a low ground-like base underneath. It is distinct from our simple P15 Cross and has no gemstones, prongs or dangling parts.
3. Choose your rook fit
Rook sizing can vary quite a bit from ear to ear, so the easiest reference is a rook hoop you already know fits comfortably.
- 5mm: the closest fit in this range
- 6mm: a little more room and a useful middle option
- 7mm: more clearance if your rook is thicker or you prefer a slightly more open look
If you already wear a rook hoop, measure straight across the inside of the ring and choose the same inner diameter.
For wire thickness, match your current jewellery: 18G = 1.0mm or 20G = 0.8mm. If you’re not sure what you currently wear, your piercer can check it for you.
This hoop is for a traditional rook piercing rather than a faux rook.
4. How to wear it
This graveyard cross hoop is made for a fully healed rook piercing.
To open it, gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions rather than pulling them apart. Guide one end through the piercing, then twist the hoop back into alignment.
Rotate the hoop until the graveyard cross sits where you like it. Because the motif has a clear upright shape, the exact facing angle can vary with your anatomy and piercing angle. If it feels difficult to fit, a piercer can help.
