About your heart conch ring
The polished heart sits along the visible outer section of the ring, placing the motif right through the middle of your ear stack. Because a conch ring travels from the piercing around the cartilage and past the outer rim, the heart has more room to be seen than it would on a tiny upper-ear hoop.
Keep the lobes simple below, add a smaller helix motif above, or let the heart be the one playful detail in the centre. We’ll make each ring to order in the gold colour, gauge and size you choose.
1. Why you’ll love it
A conch ring naturally sits through the middle of the ear, so the heart becomes part of the whole stack rather than a tiny detail tucked at the edge. The shape is easy to recognise, while the fixed polished motif keeps the ring neat rather than charm-heavy.
It works especially well if you want something softer than a plain conch ring but still easy to mix with simple lobe and helix jewellery.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The heart 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 conch piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, classic tone
- White gold for a cooler, silvery look
- Rose gold for a soft touch of pink
The heart is fixed directly to the ring with no gemstones or dangling parts, keeping the shape neat around the ear and easy to layer with the rest of your jewellery.
3. Choose your conch fit
Conch sizing is mainly about how far your piercing sits from the outer edge of your ear. The ring needs enough room to travel from the piercing, around the cartilage and past the outer rim without pressing into the ear.
- 9mm — a very close option for conch piercings positioned relatively near the outer rim, with less cartilage to clear
- 10mm — a close fit for some placements sitting nearer the outer edge
- 11mm — gives a little more room where the piercing sits further into the conch
- 12mm — allows more clearance for deeper placements or thicker cartilage
- 13mm — offers the most room in this range for piercings sitting further inward or for a more open ring look
Every ear is different, so these are starting points rather than fixed sizing rules. If you already have a conch ring that fits comfortably, measure straight across its inside edge and choose the same inner diameter.
For wire thickness, choose the gauge that matches your current conch jewellery: 16G = 1.2mm or 18G = 1.0mm. If you are unsure which gauge you currently wear, check with your piercer before ordering rather than choosing by appearance alone.
4. How to wear it
This seamless heart ring is made for a fully healed conch 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 heart as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the ring until the heart sits where you like it. Because a conch ring needs to pass around the outer edge of the ear, fitting can feel a little less straightforward than a small lobe or helix hoop. If it feels difficult, a professional piercer can help fit it safely.
