Available in silver or gold, this 16 Gauge Internally Threaded Crystal Star Flat Back Stud combines a durable 316L surgical steel post with a detailed brass star topper and a choice of 6mm or 8mm lengths. Two delicate stars are surrounded by sparkling crystal accents, creating a playful celestial design with plenty of light-catching detail.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Double Star Crystal Design: Two dainty stars combine with sparkling crystal accents to create a distinctive celestial topper with beautiful detail and shine.
✔ Detailed Mixed-Material Design: A durable 316L surgical steel post is paired with a decorative brass topper, allowing for the more intricate star 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
Celestial, sparkling and easy to build into an ear stack, this Crystal Star Stud combines two delicate star motifs with tiny crystal accents for a more detailed take on classic star jewellery. The compact design adds plenty of interest without overwhelming surrounding studs and hoops.
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.

uses for healed piercings and are not a guarantee of fit. Always consider the

YOUR JEWELLERY CARE ROUTINE
Wear thoughtfully
Choose the right moments for your jewellery
Jewellery containing brass is best reserved for occasional wear. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to help protect the decorative finish.
Protect from exposure
Water, sweat and everyday chemicals
Brass can react to water, sweat, perfume and lotions. Keep this piece dry and avoid contact with swimming pools, seawater, cleaning products and cosmetics.
Clean gently
Simple care without harsh products
Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. If necessary, use a very lightly dampened cloth and dry immediately. Avoid soaking, abrasive cleaners and jewellery-polishing chemicals.
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.
Protecting your 14K GOLD / RHODIUM finish
Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.
Mixed-material jewellery
Although this piece may have a durable metal bar, its brass detailing needs extra care. Always follow the guidance for the most delicate material and keep the entire piece dry.
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.

Q&A
- Hello, If I wore this piercing every day, night and in the shower would it turn green or damage? Sincerely,Erin
- Hi. Yes this could discolour over time as it contains brass. If you would prefer jewellery which will never discolour we suggest going for titanium.
