"it’s hard to get the gem into the threadless back, definitley a two person job and it is loose and twists easily."
Available in silver or gold, this 16 Gauge Crystal Flower Internally Threaded Flat Back Stud combines a durable 316L surgical steel post with an intricately detailed brass topper and a choice of 6mm or 8mm lengths. A row of five delicate flower motifs is finished with sparkling cubic zirconia, creating an elegant floral design with plenty of light-catching detail.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Five-Flower Crystal Design: A sweeping row of five delicate flower motifs is accented with sparkling cubic zirconia for an intricate, feminine finish.
✔ Detailed Mixed-Material Design: A durable 316L surgical steel post is paired with a decorative brass topper, allowing for the more intricate floral and crystal detailing.
✔ Internally Threaded Flat Back: The threading sits inside the post for a smooth exterior, while the flat-back design creates a clean, streamlined finish when worn.
💎 The Detail
Pretty, sparkling and beautifully detailed, this Crystal Flower Stud creates a delicate line of floral accents across the ear rather than a traditional single-stone focal point. The five-flower arrangement gives the design a graceful elongated shape, while the tiny crystal details add plenty of sparkle without overwhelming the overall silhouette.
Available in silver or gold with a choice of 6mm or 8mm internally threaded flat-back posts, 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.
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.
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.

"Looks just like the photo, delivery was fast aswell"
"Really nice product and good value"
"Disappointed too big and could not return"
"I ordered 3 pieces, 2 x helix bars and 1 x belly bar. They are all lovely looking pieces but they have all broken on first wear! I have contacted the customer services team a number of times now and the level of service (non-existent) has been shocking! Very disappointing 😡"
"Struggling to wear it"
"It looks very pretty but the earring is so difficult to screw together as the front piece of the earring’s screw is so small that trying to put together the front and back was painful and long. The screw on the front piece needs to be longer!"
"Very nicely made, looks gorgeous actually although I have yet to try this as my Helix piercing is still in the healing process but can't wait to wear this lovely piece of jewelry."
"Lovely stud, arrived quickly and the packaging was really nice too. Would order again"
"The stones fell out."
