Flat Piercing Collection
The flat piercing sits on the broad, open cartilage between the helix rim and the centre of the ear. Unlike most cartilage placements that tuck into curves or folds, the flat faces forward, which means the jewelry placed here is visible and clearly appreciated. Its surface area is more generous than a tragus, helix, or rook, making it one of the few spots on the ear where detailed designs, clustered arrangements, and statement pieces all remain viable options.
Flat Piercing Styles
The MADAJ flat piercing collection includes studs and decorative designs in natural diamonds, black diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds, each set in nickel-free, hypoallergenic 18k gold. Available in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. Every piece uses an internally threaded flat-back post with a secure screw closure, keeping friction away from the piercing channel for a more comfortable healing process. MADAJ flat piercings are available in 5 mm, 6.5 mm, and 8 mm. Designs range from clean solitaires to detailed motifs including lotus, star, moon, lightning, and flower forms. Choose your stone, your gold color, your post length, and your motif for a result built around your ear specifically.
Styling a Flat Piercing
The flat pairs naturally with helix, conch, tragus, rook, and lobe piercings, filling the open space in the upper cartilage that can make an otherwise considered stack look unfinished. Wear one strong piece to anchor the upper ear and let the surrounding piercings follow its lead. Or cluster two or three smaller designs for an effect that reads as deliberate rather than scattered. Either way, the flat tends to be the piece that makes the rest of the stack make sense.
Custom-made Flat Jewelry
Every MADAJ flat piercing is made to order in our own workshops. Our designers work in 3D modeling and our master jewelers hand-finish each piece before it ships. Gemstones are hand-selected by in-house gemologists for color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Production takes 4 to 6 business days. Every order ships worldwide via DHL Express with complimentary insured delivery and a 30-day return policy.
