✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Four Metallic Colours: Choose from Gold, Rose Gold, Black or Rainbow to coordinate with your existing jewellery and piercing style.
✓ Minimal Ball Design: The classic 3mm ball creates a neat, understated finish that is easy to wear alone or incorporate into a curated ear.
✓ ASTM F136 Titanium: Lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion, implant-grade titanium is our preferred material for customers concerned about nickel sensitivity.
💎 The Detail
Simple and endlessly versatile, this titanium flat-back stud is an easy everyday styling option for helix, flat, conch and lobe piercings. Its smooth ball topper works particularly well when you want a subtle piece that will not compete with more decorative jewellery.
The 16G post has an 8mm wearable length and an externally threaded 3mm ball. Because the exposed thread passes through the piercing during insertion, fit and remove the stud carefully and reserve it for fully healed piercings.
Each colour has a PVD finish. Avoid prolonged contact with water, sweat, perfume, lotions and household chemicals to help protect the coating. Clean gently with a soft cloth and store somewhere clean and dry when it is not being worn.
Sold individually.
