Fine piercing · London
Fine piercing, considered.
A piercing can be a single point of light or the beginning of an entire composition. We bring jewellery, anatomy and personal style into one considered appointment.
Fine jewellery, professional placement and personal stylingWhat makes a piercing fine?
Fine piercing is where professional placement meets fine jewellery. Lark & Berry’s piercing collection is crafted in solid 14K gold, with designs featuring lab-grown diamonds and coloured stones.
Material, construction, dimensions and fit all matter. Your piercer will assess whether a design is appropriate for your anatomy and for a new piercing before the procedure begins.
- Jewellery selected with the finished composition in mind
- Placement considered around anatomy and lifestyle
- Fit and aftercare discussed as part of the appointment
From first idea to finished ear.
Begin with an image, a placement or simply how you want your ear to feel. Your piercer considers your anatomy, lifestyle, existing piercings and how each piece will sit before making a recommendation.
The area is prepared and marked for your approval before piercing. Jewellery and post length are selected for the placement, with room for early swelling where appropriate.

Flat backs and push-fit fronts.
Many Lark & Berry piercing studs use a flat-back labret with a threadless, push-fit front. The decorative front has a fine pin held securely inside the post by tension; there is no screw thread passing through the piercing channel.
A longer post may be selected initially to allow for swelling. Once your piercer confirms that swelling has settled, the post can often be downsized for a closer fit.
Start with what suits the placement.
The right starting jewellery depends on placement, anatomy, diameter, weight and room required for swelling. Some piercings may be suitable for a hoop from the beginning; others are better started with a stud.
Your piercer will make the final recommendation in person rather than asking you to decide from appearance alone.
Healing is personal.
Different parts of the ear heal at different rates, and cartilage commonly takes considerably longer than the lobe. Anatomy, jewellery fit, aftercare, health and daily pressure can all affect healing.
Follow the advice given at your appointment, avoid unnecessary touching or rotating, and return to the studio if the fit needs reviewing.
- Wash hands before touching the area
- Use the aftercare advised by your piercer
- Avoid sustained pressure on healing cartilage
- Ask before changing or downsizing jewellery
