Available in a range of crystal colours and metal finishes, this 16 Gauge Internally Threaded Crystal Butterfly Stud combines a durable 316L surgical steel flat-back post with a detailed brass butterfly topper and a choice of 6mm or 8mm lengths. Tiny cubic zirconia cover the butterfly design, creating a delicate statement piece with plenty of light-catching sparkle.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Sparkling Butterfly Design: A dainty butterfly silhouette is filled with tiny cubic zirconia, creating an intricate celestial-inspired focal point with beautiful sparkle.
✔ Detailed Mixed-Material Design: A durable 316L surgical steel post is paired with a decorative brass butterfly topper, allowing for the more intricate crystal-set design.
✔ 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
Pretty, playful and packed with sparkle, this Crystal Butterfly Stud adds a more decorative focal point to your ear stack without feeling oversized. The tiny crystal details define the wings and give the butterfly a bright, dimensional finish that catches the light beautifully.
Available in a range of colours and finishes 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
