About your oval tragus ring
The motif is a flat polished elongated oval disc, not an oval-shaped hoop. Its smooth face gives the tragus a softer geometric detail right at the front of the ear.
At approximately 3mm, the oval stays compact but gives a little more visible length than the round Circle motif. Compared with the Gold Ball, it sits flatter and reads as a polished surface rather than a three-dimensional bead.
1. Why you’ll love it
If you want something more detailed than a plain tragus 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 tragus 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 tragus fit
Tragus sizing depends on how close your piercing sits to the cartilage edge, how thick your tragus is and the angle of the piercing.
- 5mm: a very close option for piercings sitting nearer the tragus edge, with less cartilage to clear
- 6mm: gives a little more room and can be a useful middle starting point for many tragus placements
- 7mm: offers more clearance for thicker cartilage, piercings sitting further inward or anyone who prefers a slightly less snug look
Every ear is different, so these are starting points rather than fixed sizing rules. If you already have a tragus ring that fits comfortably, 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. If you are unsure which gauge you currently wear, ask your piercer before ordering.
4. How to wear it
This seamless oval ring is made for a fully healed tragus 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. The elongated shape has a little more visual direction than the Circle motif, so its final angle can vary slightly with your anatomy and piercing direction. If fitting feels difficult, a professional piercer can help fit it safely.
If you regularly wear in-ear headphones, keep in mind that tragus anatomy, ring size and earbud shape vary, so some earbuds may sit differently with tragus jewellery in place.
