"Very sparkly and fits great in my conch piercing 💕"
✓ 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.
Stainless steel piercing forceps help grip jewellery securely when opening hoops or unscrewing tight posts or ball ends.
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.

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.
