The dangle helix earring in gold is made for a healed ear that wants a little shimmer: a small curved bar on the front, and three fine golden chains of different lengths swaying beneath it — a four-point star, a crescent moon and a tiny clear stone that catch the light each time you move. Worn in a helix piercing, it frames the face with a warm glow.
The base is ASTM F136 titanium (G23), nickel-free, dressed in a gold PVD finish with a warm yellow tone. The gold is what people see; the titanium is what touches your skin — a lovely step up in shine once your piercing has fully healed. Prefer something cool and minimal? See the titanium moon dangle stud.
Underneath sits a 16G (1.2 mm) flat back labret, internally threaded, with a flat disc back. At about 10 × 14.5 mm in all, this dangle cartilage earring stays delicate and lets the charms do the talking.
Styling a golden celestial dangle
Make it the one moving piece in your ear: pair it with small gold studs in the lobe, or mix it with silver for a relaxed stack. A moon cartilage earring also looks lovely on its own in a bare helix.

Placement and post length
Made for the helix, it also suits a flat, a conch or a lobe. Choose a 6, 8 or 10 mm post: 6 mm sits snug, 8 mm suits everyday wear, 10 mm leaves room for a thicker ear. Keep the gauge and length your piercer used.

-
Is it a helix piercing with chain for two holes? No — its three chains hang from a single piercing. They swing freely and do not attach to another hole.
