Frame your piercing with a delicate sweep of sparkle with this 16 Gauge Five Crystal Arc Cartilage Stud. Five cubic zirconia crystals form a curved row, creating an elegant focal point for your ear jewellery.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Five-Crystal Arc: A gently curved arrangement of sparkling cubic zirconia stones adds definition to your piercing without a dangling charm.
✓ 316L Surgical Steel: Durable surgical-steel construction provides a polished foundation for the light-catching crystal design.
✓ Screw-On Ball Back: The 6mm post is secured with an externally threaded rear ball, offering a traditional alternative to flat-back and threadless studs.
💎 The Detail
Elegant alone or paired with simpler studs, this five-crystal design brings a flowing shape to a curated ear. The curved detail is at the front of the jewellery; the stud has a straight post and a ball backing.
The post measures 16 Gauge (1.2mm) with a 6mm wearable length. Check this measurement against jewellery that already fits comfortably, and allow enough space around your piercing for the full crystal arrangement.
Recommended for fully healed piercings. Clean gently around the crystal settings, avoid soaking or abrasive cleaning products, and dry thoroughly after cleaning. Check that the rear ball remains securely fastened before wearing.
Sold individually.

💡 Sizing Tip
Gauge numbers work in reverse — the lower the gauge number,
the thicker the jewellery.
Piercing sizes aren't one-size-fits-all. These recommendations describe common
uses for healed piercings and are not a guarantee of fit. Always consider the
jewellery design, your piercing placement and your individual anatomy. New or
healing piercings should be sized by a professional piercer.
