Description

✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free

Available in silver or gold, this 16 Gauge Internally Threaded Five Gem Curved Cartilage Stud is crafted from durable 316L surgical steel with a choice of 6mm or 8mm flat-back posts. Five brilliant cubic zirconia follow a gently sweeping curve, creating an elegant line of sparkle designed to sit beautifully along the contours of the ear.

✨ Why You'll Love It

✔ Five-Gem Crystal Design: Five brilliant cubic zirconia follow the curved silhouette of the stud, creating a refined sweep of sparkle with plenty of light-catching detail.

✔ Durable 316L Surgical Steel: Crafted from strong 316L surgical steel for a practical, low-maintenance jewellery choice 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 clean, streamlined finish when worn.

💎 The Detail

Sleek, sparkling and designed to complement the natural shape of the ear, this Five Gem Curved Cartilage Stud creates a delicate line of crystals rather than a traditional compact cluster. The gently sweeping arrangement gives each stone definition while creating an elegant, contemporary 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.

QUICK SIZING GUIDE
Quick Size Check

These are the measurements for this piece of jewellery. If this product has multiple sizes, the guide will use your selected size where available. Compare with jewellery that already fits you comfortably if you're unsure.

Gauge / Thickness 16G (1.2MM) The thickness of the jewellery that passes through your piercing.
Wearable Length 6MM - 8MM The wearable length of the bar or post, excluding decorative ends.
💡 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.

Strong and resistant to everyday wear, 316L Surgical Steel is a popular choice for healed piercings. Surgical steel contains nickel, so titanium may be a better option if you have a known nickel sensitivity.

Care Keep dry

Brass allows us to create intricate, decorative jewellery with more detailed finishes. It requires extra care and should be kept away from water, sweat, perfume and other chemicals.

A note about healing piercings

Material is only one part of choosing jewellery for a healing piercing. Gauge, length, threading, design and surface finish must also suit your anatomy.

If your piercing is still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.

YOUR JEWELLERY CARE ROUTINE
Wear thoughtfully
Choose the right moments for your jewellery

Put your jewellery on after applying perfume, moisturiser, hairspray or other beauty products. Avoid unnecessary friction and prolonged exposure to moisture.

Protect from exposure
Water, sweat and everyday chemicals

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 gently
Simple care without harsh products

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 with care
Keep your jewellery clean, dry and protected

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.

Caring for crystals & decorative details

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

Protecting your PVD finish

Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.

If your piercing is still healing

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.
