16 Gauge Internally Threaded Marquise Flower Stud
Available in silver or gold, this 16 Gauge Internally Threaded Marquise Flower Cartilage Stud features a 316L surgical steel flat-back post with a detailed brass flower and three shimmering marquise-cut cubic zirconia crystals. The compact three-petal design creates an elegant light-catching focal point that’s easy to mix into a curated ear stack.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Marquise Flower Design: Three faceted marquise crystals form a delicate flower-inspired cluster, creating an elegant focal point with plenty of sparkle.
✔ Light-Catching Crystal Detail: Shimmering cubic zirconia stones reflect the light beautifully, adding a polished touch of shine without overwhelming your ear stack.
✔ Internally Threaded Flat Back: The threading sits inside the post for a smooth exterior, while the flat-back design creates a sleek, streamlined finish when worn.
💎 The Detail
Delicate, sparkling and effortlessly easy to style, this Marquise Flower Cartilage Stud gives classic floral jewellery a polished contemporary feel. The trio of marquise-shaped crystals creates a distinctive petal effect, while the compact design makes it easy to combine with your favourite hoops and studs.
Wear it alone for subtle floral sparkle or use it as part of a layered ear stack when you want to add an elegant touch of texture and shine.
Make changing your jewellery easier
Stainless steel piercing forceps help grip jewellery securely when opening hoops or unscrewing tight posts or ball ends.

Materials used in this piece
Base metal: 316L SURGICAL STEEL
Accent material: BRASS
Important for this piece: This jewellery contains brass. We recommend wearing it only in fully healed piercings and keeping it dry. Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
Choosing the right metal can make a big difference to the comfort, care and longevity of your piercing jewellery. Here's how our three main jewellery metals compare.
TITANIUM — BEST FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Skin sensitivity: Excellent choice for sensitive skin
Best for: Fresh* or healed piercings
Everyday wear: Excellent
Care: Low maintenance
Titanium is lightweight, durable and highly resistant to corrosion. It's our recommended choice if you have sensitive skin or are concerned about nickel sensitivity.
316L SURGICAL STEEL — DURABLE EVERYDAY CHOICE • USED IN THIS PIECE
Skin sensitivity: Suitable for many people
Best for: Healed piercings
Everyday wear: Very good
Care: Easy care
316L Surgical Steel is strong, durable and resistant to everyday wear, making it a popular choice for body jewellery. Surgical steel contains nickel, so if you have a known nickel sensitivity or particularly sensitive skin, we recommend choosing titanium instead.
BRASS — STATEMENT JEWELLERY • USED IN THIS PIECE
Skin sensitivity: Not recommended for sensitive skin
Best for: Fully healed piercings
Everyday wear: Occasional wear
Care: Keep dry
Brass allows us to create more detailed and decorative jewellery designs, but it requires more care than titanium or surgical steel. Jewellery containing brass should only be worn in fully healed piercings. Keep it dry and remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
A note about fresh piercings
The metal is only one part of choosing jewellery for a fresh piercing. The jewellery's gauge, length, design, threading and surface finish also need to be appropriate for your piercing and anatomy.
If your piercing is still healing, we recommend checking with a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
Mixed-material jewellery
If a piece contains more than one metal, always follow the care and wear guidance for the most sensitive material. For example, jewellery with a 316L Surgical Steel bar and a brass charm should be treated as brass jewellery and kept dry.
✨ Jewellery Care
Keep your jewellery looking its best with a little regular care.
316L Surgical Steel & Titanium
Jewellery marked as waterproof can be worn around water during normal everyday use. After exposure to swimming pools, seawater, cosmetics or sweat, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Brass & Plated Jewellery
To help preserve the finish, keep brass and plated decorative pieces away from water, perfume, lotions and other chemicals. Remove before showering, swimming or exercising where possible.
Cleaning Your Jewellery
Gently clean with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners, alcohol, bleach and harsh chemicals, which may damage polished, plated or crystal finishes.
Storage
Store jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to help prevent scratches and tangling. The zip lock pouch provided with your order is perfect for this!
💡 Tip: Always check the material information shown on the product page, as care requirements can vary depending on the metal, plating and decorative components used.

Q&A
- Hi I'm wondering if this is hypoallergenic. As it says it is but next to it says it has brass.
- Hi, the post is surgical grade steel, the topper contains brass elements.
