A small letter with a personal meaning
Choose one letter from A–Z to make the hoop yours. The fixed initial sits across the visible front of the hoop, adding a small personal detail along the outer edge of your ear without making the rest of your stack feel busy.
Each piece is handmade to order with the letter you enter. Ordering different initials? Add each letter to your cart separately so every line item carries the correct personalisation.
1. Why you’ll love it
If a plain helix hoop feels a little too anonymous but a dangling initial charm feels like too much, this single-letter design sits neatly in the middle. It adds personal meaning while keeping the upper ear clean and easy to style.
Enter one letter from A–Z. Your requested letter is attached to the product in your cart and carried into the Shopify order record, so we can make the exact initial you requested.
Looking for two initials together? Use the two-letter version linked beside the personalisation field.
2. Solid gold & personalisation
The letter and hoop are both made from genuine 14ct solid gold, never plated or gold-filled. This personalised helix hoop is nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed piercing.
- One requested letter from A–Z
- Yellow, white or rose gold
- 18G = 1.0mm
- 20G = 0.8mm
- 5, 6 or 7mm inner diameter
Different letter shapes naturally have different widths. Wider initials such as M and W can occupy more visual space than narrow letters such as I or L, even when the hoop size stays the same.
3. Choose your helix fit
Not sure whether to choose 5, 6 or 7mm? Start by looking at how close your helix piercing sits to the outer edge of your ear. Cartilage thickness and piercing angle can make a difference too.
- 5mm — a very close fit for piercings sitting close to the rim, with little cartilage to clear
- 6mm — a neat close fit for many helix placements near the outer edge
- 7mm — gives a little more room if your piercing sits further in, your cartilage is thicker, or you simply prefer a less snug look
Every ear is a little different, so these are starting points rather than fixed rules. If you already have a helix hoop that fits well, 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. Because letter silhouettes vary, wider initials can take up more visual space along the outer ear. If you are unsure about clearance or fit, contact us before ordering.
4. How to wear it
This seamless personalised hoop is made for a fully healed helix piercing.
Open it by gently twisting 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 letter as a handle.
Guide one end through the piercing, then twist the ends back into alignment. Rotate the hoop until the letter faces the way you prefer. Its final angle can vary slightly with your anatomy and piercing direction.
