About your heart lobe earring
This little heart adds a sweet, personal detail to a first, second or upper-lobe piercing. Its softly rounded shape feels playful without being too much, making it easy to wear alone or mix into a stacked lobe look.
Choose one as a small treat for yourself, add two for a matching pair, or send it to someone who would smile at a tiny heart in solid gold. We’ll make each earring to order and pack it ready to feel special from the moment it is opened.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you like simple lobe earrings with one sweet detail, this little heart may be just your kind of thing. It sits directly on the round hoop, so the look stays neat and light rather than dangly. At approximately 3mm, the heart is easy to notice up close without overwhelming the rest of your ear stack.
Wear one in a healed first lobe, second lobe or upper-lobe piercing, pair it with a plain gold hoop, or add two to create a matching set. The earring is sold individually so you can build your combination one piece at a time.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The heart and hoop are both made from genuine 14ct solid gold, rather than a gold coating over another metal. This gold heart lobe earring is nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed earlobe piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, classic tone
- White gold for a cooler, silvery look
- Rose gold for a soft touch of pink
All three colours have the same heart design, so you can choose the tone that works best with the rest of your lobe earrings.
3. Choose your fit
Start with where your lobe piercing sits and how closely you want the hoop to follow the edge of your ear. A smaller inner diameter usually gives a closer look, while a larger diameter leaves more space below the lobe. Ear shape, lobe thickness and piercing position all affect the final fit.
You can choose an 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12mm inner diameter:
- 8mm — a close fit for many second or upper-lobe placements, or piercings close to the lobe edge
- 9–10mm — a neat everyday hoop for many first and second lobe piercings
- 11–12mm — more room below the lobe and a more visible hoop
If you already own a hoop that fits well, measure straight across its inside edge and choose the same inner diameter. For wire thickness, select the same gauge as the jewellery you already wear:
- 18G = 1.0mm
- 20G = 0.8mm
The heart measures approximately 3mm and does not change the stated inner diameter. These size notes are a guide rather than a guarantee; if you are unsure, ask your professional piercer to check your size.
4. How to wear it
This seamless heart lobe hoop is made for a fully healed earlobe piercing.
Gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions. Do not pull them directly apart, as this can distort the circle. Hold the hoop itself rather than using the heart as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, then twist the ends back into alignment. Rotate the hoop until the heart sits where you prefer. Its final angle can vary slightly with your anatomy and piercing direction. If fitting feels difficult, ask a professional piercer for help.
