A Cluster of Skulls Climbing the Lobe
These skull and crossbones earrings don't settle for a single motif: several heads and crossed tibias assemble into a cluster that climbs diagonally up the earlobe. It is the densest piece in the gothic section, occupying the most surface area for a simple stud earring. Find this product in our viking earrings collection.
For a single isolated skull rather than a cluster, our polished steel skull studs reduce the design to the essentials.
What Sets This Pair Apart
A climbing stud must hold the line of the lobe without tilting forward.
- Diagonal composition: the design follows the natural curve of the lobe instead of spreading horizontally.
- Openwork structure: the tibias are hollowed out, which lightens a piece that could easily become massive.
- Push-back clasp: a single post and back, only one piercing is needed despite the size of the design.
- Stainless steel: the numerous gaps between the bones do not accumulate oxidation.
To keep the skulls on a hoop, see our skull hoop earrings.

Did you know?
The skull surmounting two crossbones is not originally piratical: it is a funerary emblem, engraved on European tombstones long before a ship ever hoisted it. It is found in abundance in 17th-century Scottish cemeteries, where it sits alongside winged hourglasses and bones—a whole vocabulary of passing time. The black flag came later, and its nickname even later still: the term "Jolly Roger" first appeared in print in 1724, in A General History of the Pyrates. The motif therefore changed sides along the way, from a reminder of death to a threat of inflicting it.

Do I need several piercings?
No, just one. The design spreads across the earlobe but is held by a single post, placed at the bottom of the composition.
Does the piece tip forward?
The weight is distributed around the attachment point, so it stays flat against the ear. On a very soft earlobe, the backing can be pushed one notch further to hold it in place.
How tall is the design?
A little under two centimeters from the bottom of the post to the top of the cluster. It is a size that gets noticed, designed to cover the whole earlobe.
Can I wear just one?
Yes, and it is common with this kind of dense piece: one ear fully adorned, the other left bare or with a simple ear cuff.
