Titanium Rook Curved Barbell

The titanium rook curved barbell is a small 16G banana bar topped with a cubic-zirconia ornament — the sparkle that sits in the rook fold of the ear. The curve follows the anti-helix so it tucks in neatly; a ball screws onto the bottom, in implant-grade titanium that stays kind to healing cartilage.

It is machined from ASTM F136 titanium (grade 23) — nickel-free and cobalt-free, light and corrosion-resistant. The material piercers recommend for a fresh piercing and for sensitive skin, polished to a quiet silver shine. Prefer gold? The same barbell comes with a flower top in PVD gold.

The bottom ball unscrews so you can put the barbell in yourself and keep it clean. The curved shape is made for the rook, and works just as well in an eyebrow or a snug.

Eight designs

Choose your top: a pavé heart, a star, a marquise trio, a flower, an open heart, a crown of marquise stones, or a butterfly (marquise or full pavé) — all set with clear cubic zirconia.

Where to wear your curved barbell

Made for the rook, the curved barbell also suits an eyebrow, a snug or a daith. It is 16G (1.2 mm) with a 10 mm curve — match the gauge your piercer used. For a hinged hoop that also sits in the rook, see the cartilage hoop.

Frequently asked questions about the rook barbell

• Is it safe on a fresh piercing? Yes — implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium is nickel-free and biocompatible, the recommended choice for a new or sensitive piercing. A rook heals slowly, so the metal matters.
• Can I wear it anywhere other than the rook? Yes — the same curved barbell suits an eyebrow, a snug or a daith. Pick the gauge and curve that match your piercing.
• How does it go in? The bottom ball unscrews; pass the curved bar through the piercing, then screw the ball back on by hand. No tools.
