Curved Barbell Earrings for the Rook Piercing
How Each Curved Barbell Is Made
Our curved barbells are shaped to match the vertical fold of cartilage in the upper inner ear, so the piece rests close to the ear in a rook piercing instead of pushing outward. Each bar is made in 1.2 mm (16G) solid 18k gold and formed into a gentle arc, with a motif on both ends. The upper motif sits just above the daith area, while the lower motif is attached by a small link that lets it swing freely with your movement. Every piece is internally threaded: the thread is cut inside the bar and the motif screws into it, leaving the outer surface completely smooth so no threading passes through the piercing. Each curved barbell is crafted to order in our workshop, in solid 18k gold that is nickel-free and hypoallergenic for the bar, the motifs and the link. Where a design features a stone, our gemologists select natural gemstones before setting.
Choosing Your Length and Gold Color
Every curved barbell is available in two lengths: 6 mm and 8 mm. The right length depends on the thickness of your cartilage, so your piercer can measure your rook and confirm the best fit. You can then choose between rose, white and yellow 18k gold. Many clients pick the color that matches the other pieces they already wear, so the rook blends into the rest of their ear.
Wearing and Caring for Your Curved Barbell
Because the motif screws into the bar, it stays secure through daily wear. A quick check now and then, gently turning the threaded motif to make sure it is fully tightened, keeps it in place. The swinging motif moves freely on its link, so there is no need to adjust it. To clean your curved barbell, use warm water with a mild soap, then dry it with a soft cloth. Solid 18k gold does not need replating, so the color stays the same over time.
