💎 The Detail
This is a replacement flat-back post only, designed to be paired with a compatible threaded decorative end. Its Gold PVD finish makes it useful for replacing a lost post or changing the wearable length of compatible gold-colour jewellery.
The post is 16 gauge (1.2mm), crafted from 316L surgical steel and available in 6mm or 8mm post lengths. Sold individually. Decorative top not included. Thread dimensions can vary between manufacturers, so compatibility with jewellery from other brands cannot be guaranteed.
Make changing your jewellery easier
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.
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.
