✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Add an edgy finish to your piercing with this 16 Gauge Gold Plated Spike End Eyebrow Barbell. Featuring twin polished spike ends and a compact curved barbell, the Gold PVD finish gives this simple design a bolder look than a traditional ball-ended eyebrow bar.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Twin Spike Ends: Matching 3mm spike-shaped ends give the curved barbell a sharper, more distinctive finish than a standard ball-end design.
✔ Compact 8mm Fit: The 16 gauge curved barbell has an 8mm wearable length, making it a classic size for compatible healed eyebrow piercings.
✔ Gold PVD Finish: The warm Gold PVD coating gives the 316L surgical steel barbell a polished gold-tone finish while keeping the overall design simple and easy to style.
💎 The Detail
Minimal but with a little more edge, this spike-ended eyebrow barbell is an easy alternative to plain ball jewellery. The twin pointed ends create a balanced look while the polished gold finish helps it stand out in a facial piercing.
This curved barbell is 16 gauge (1.2mm) with an 8mm wearable length, crafted from 316L surgical steel with a Gold PVD finish and externally threaded 3mm spike ends. Sold individually and designed primarily for compatible, fully healed eyebrow piercings. Keep plated jewellery dry and avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, cosmetics and chemicals to help preserve the finish.
Make changing your jewellery easier

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
This piece has a GOLD 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.
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.

How is barbell length measured?
Straight barbells: Measure the wearable bar between the two balls or attachments. Do not include the balls or decorative ends in the measurement.
Curved barbells: Measure the wearable section of the curved bar between the two attachments.
Nipple barbells: Measure the wearable straight bar between the two ends. For decorative nipple shields or specialised designs, check the product specifications because the wearable length can differ from the overall bar measurement.
Everyone’s anatomy is different. If possible, measure jewellery that already fits comfortably.
