Already pierced?
Upgrade to gold.

Your piercing doesn't care where it was done. Once it's healed, it deserves BVLA. We fit solid gold to any healed piercing — yours, ours, or anyone else's.

The service

Gold, fitted properly.

A jewellery change appointment is a standalone service. There's no new piercing — you bring healed piercings, we fit BVLA. It's the simplest way into the collection if you've been pierced before, anywhere, and you're ready for something better than what's currently in your ear.

It works regardless of origin. A starter post from a high-street studio. A piece you bought overseas. A piercing done with us years ago. If the channel is healed and the gauge is right, we can fit gold to it.

The clinical care is the same as a fresh piercing. We assess the piercing first — checking it's settled and ready — then select the right gauge and length, fit the piece, and check the seat before you leave. Nothing is rushed.

The process

Three steps. One appointment.

01
Browse
You look through the BVLA collection online or in-studio and shortlist pieces that appeal.
02
Assess
We check your piercing is fully healed and confirm the right gauge and fit before anything is handled.
03
Fit
The piece is fitted carefully, checked, and explained. You leave wearing gold.
Right for you if...

Any healed piercing. Any origin.

You were pierced elsewhere and want to upgrade
We don't require that your original piercing was done with us. Healed is healed.
Your titanium starter jewellery has been in too long
Starter posts are intentionally long for swelling. Once healed, a shorter, finer piece sits better and looks better.
You want a specific BVLA piece you've seen
Show us. We can often source pieces not in our current stock, or help you find the closest match we have.
You're building a curated ear and adding the next piece
Each visit to add a new BVLA piece is a jewellery change. Part of the long-term curation partnership.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need to have been pierced at Platinum Point to get a jewellery change?

No. If your piercing is fully healed, we can fit BVLA jewellery regardless of where it was originally done. We assess the current jewellery and the condition of the piercing before proceeding.

How do I know if my piercing is healed enough for a jewellery change?

A fully healed piercing shows no tenderness, no discharge, and moves freely without soreness. Lobes are typically healed at 3–4 months; cartilage at 9–12 months. If you're unsure, mention it when booking and we'll assess at the appointment.

How long does a jewellery change appointment take?

A jewellery change appointment typically takes 20–40 minutes, depending on the number of piercings and the jewellery being fitted. We never rush — each piece is fitted carefully and checked before you leave.

What jewellery can I upgrade to?

We fit exclusively BVLA — solid 14k and 18k gold and 950 platinum jewellery handcrafted in Los Angeles. Styles include threadless flat-back ends, seam rings, clicker rings, and captive bead rings. Pieces start from $180.

Can I choose jewellery on the day?

Yes. We can show you pieces from our in-studio stock at your appointment, or you can browse the collection online beforehand and let us know if there's something specific you'd like.
