Collection: Rose Gold Rook Jewellery

Rose gold rook jewellery is made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a PVD rose gold finish. The rook is the thick antihelix fold of upper ear cartilage, and jewellery worn there passes through a relatively short, curved channel, making curved barbells and clicker rings the most appropriate styles.

The rook is one of the more complex ear cartilage piercings and typically heals over 6 to 12 months or longer. Implant-grade titanium is particularly well suited to this location because the extended healing period and cartilage anatomy demand a metal that will not provoke reactive tissue. Standard gauge for rook piercings is 16G (1.2mm).

PVD rose gold provides a durable warm-toned colour that maintains its appearance with normal wear. Unlike plated finishes, PVD is applied at a sub-micron level and does not peel, making it suitable for jewellery worn continuously in a healed piercing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What jewellery is used for a rook piercing?
Curved barbells and clicker rings are the most commonly worn styles in rook piercings. The curved barbell follows the natural shape of the cartilage fold, while hinged clicker rings offer ease of insertion once the piercing is healed.

What gauge is a rook piercing?
Rook piercings are typically performed at 16G (1.2mm). The gauge refers to the thickness of the barbell or ring wire passing through the piercing.

How long does a rook piercing take to heal?
Rook piercings generally take 6 to 12 months to heal, and in some cases up to 18 months. Cartilage piercings require consistent aftercare and appropriate jewellery throughout the healing process.

Is PVD rose gold suitable for rook piercings?
PVD rose gold applied to ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is suitable for healed rook piercings. The titanium base is biocompatible and nickel-free, and the PVD coating is more durable and chemically inert than traditional gold plating.
