14k Solid Gold Piercing Jewellery
What jewellery can I get pierced with?
At Laura Bond we pierce with our stunning range of solid 14k gold piercing jewellery.
Piercing jewellery must be purchased in store on the day of your appointment to make sure that it is sterile, that it is the right size for you and is suitable for your anatomy.
For the vast majority of cartilage piercings we pierce with our 14k labret studs with 8mm posts.
Once your swelling has gone down you will need to size down to one of our 6mm labret posts. These cost £45 for our 9k 6mm post and £65 for our 14k 6mm post.

We do not pierce the lobes or outer ear cartilage with hoops.
We pierce with studs as they are the safest option for healing.
Piercings that require a hoop are the daith or septum.
Piercings that require a curved bar are the rook or belly.
