✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Polished Star Design: The smooth 4mm star topper adds a clean celestial detail that is easy to coordinate with minimalist and crystal jewellery.

💎 The Detail
Simple, celestial and easy to style, this polished star stud makes a versatile addition to curated ear stacks. Its compact 4mm topper works particularly well in helix, forward helix, flat, tragus, conch and lobe piercings.
The 16G post has an 8mm wearable length and a secure threadless push-fit closure. The straight post and flat backing create a low-profile finish, although the ideal fit will depend on your anatomy and piercing placement.
ASTM F136 titanium is lightweight, durable and highly resistant to corrosion. The gold version has a PVD finish, so avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine, perfume, lotions and harsh chemicals to help preserve its appearance. If your piercing is still healing, ask a professional piercer to confirm the correct jewellery and post length.

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.
