Add a playful celestial detail to your ear stack with this Silver 16 Gauge Internally Threaded Dangling Star Stud, crafted from durable 316L surgical steel with an 8mm flat-back post. A delicate polished star hangs beneath the topper, adding subtle movement and a distinctive finishing touch while the internally threaded construction keeps the post clean and streamlined.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Dangling Star Design: A delicate star charm hangs beneath the piercing, adding subtle movement and a playful celestial detail to your ear stack.
✔ Durable 316L Surgical Steel: Crafted from strong 316L surgical steel for a practical, low-maintenance jewellery construction designed for healed piercings.
✔ 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
Simple, celestial and a little more playful than a classic plain stud, this Dangling Star Stud adds movement to your ear stack with its delicate polished star charm. The clean silver finish makes it easy to coordinate with both minimalist pieces and more decorative cartilage jewellery.
Finished in silver with a 16 Gauge, 8mm internally threaded flat-back post, it can be styled in compatible helix, flat, forward helix, tragus, conch and lobe piercings. The correct post length and jewellery style will depend on your individual anatomy and piercing placement.
Make changing your jewellery easier
Stainless steel piercing forceps help grip jewellery securely when opening hoops or unscrewing tight posts or ball ends.
These are the measurements for this exact piece of jewellery. Compare them with jewellery that already fits you comfortably if you're unsure.

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
This piece has a PVD finish. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfume, lotions and other chemicals to help preserve its appearance.
Put your jewellery on after applying perfume, moisturiser, hairspray or other beauty products. Avoid unnecessary friction and prolonged exposure to moisture.
Chlorine, seawater, sweat, perfume and household chemicals can gradually affect coated or plated finishes. Remove your jewellery before swimming and dry it promptly if it becomes wet.
Clean carefully with a soft cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid polishing compounds, abrasive products and harsh chemical cleaners.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
Store your jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to prevent scratches or tangling. The pouch provided with your order is perfect for keeping it protected.
Take extra care with dangling details and chains, which can catch on clothing or become tangled during storage.
Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.
Jewellery care is different from piercing aftercare. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
