💎 The Detail
Sleek, sparkling and designed to follow the natural lines of the ear, this 5 Crystal Row Cartilage Stud creates a refined curved accent with plenty of light-catching shine. Five claw-set clear crystals sit closely together to form a graceful arc that catches the light from different angles.
Finished in polished silver and available with a 6mm or 8mm flat-back post, it’s an eye-catching addition to a curated ear stack whether worn as the main crystal focal point or paired with simpler studs and hoops.

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.
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
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.
