About your oval conch ring
The motif is a flat polished elongated oval disc, not an oval-shaped hoop. Its smooth face sits along the visible outer section of the ring, adding a softer geometric detail through the middle of your ear stack.
At approximately 3mm, the oval stays compact but gives a little more visual length than the round Circle motif. Keep the rest of the ear simple with plain gold, or mix it with sharper geometric or playful motifs elsewhere in the stack. We’ll make each ring to order in the gold colour, gauge and size you choose.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you want something more detailed than a plain conch ring but softer than an angular shape, the elongated oval gives you a clean polished accent without gemstones or dangling movement. Its approximately 3mm size keeps the design neat while the longer outline makes it a little more noticeable than a simple round disc.
Compared with our Circle design, the oval feels more elongated and directional. Compared with the Gold Ball, it sits flatter against the visible front of the ring.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The oval-disc motif 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 finish
- White gold for a cooler, clean look
- Rose gold for a softer contrast
The approximately 3mm oval is a fixed, flat polished solid-gold motif with no gemstone, prongs or dangling parts. The ring itself remains round; only the decorative motif is oval-shaped.
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 oval 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 oval motif as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, twist the ends back into alignment, then rotate the ring until the oval 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.
