16 Gauge Flat Back Internally Threaded Hummingbird Stud
Add a delicate nature-inspired detail to your piercing with this Silver Crystal Hummingbird Flat Back Stud. It combines a 316L surgical steel post with an intricately shaped brass hummingbird topper, finished with tiny clear cubic zirconia crystals for a subtle touch of sparkle.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✔ Crystal Hummingbird Design: The detailed 8mm bird topper is decorated with clear cubic zirconia for a distinctive, light-catching finish.
✔ Internally Threaded Flat Back: The smooth post inserts through the piercing without exposed external threads, while the flat backing creates a neat finish.
✔ Two Post Lengths: Choose from a close-fitting 6mm post or a roomier 8mm option, depending on your piercing placement and anatomy.
💎 The Detail
Delicate, sparkling and full of character, this silver-toned hummingbird stud offers a more playful alternative to a traditional crystal topper. Its detailed silhouette and tiny clear stones make it a beautiful focal point for helix, flat and conch placements or a nature-inspired curated ear.
Choose from a 6mm or 8mm wearable post length. The 8mm hummingbird topper is relatively substantial, so check that there is enough space around your piercing for it to sit comfortably without pressing against surrounding jewellery or the edge of your ear.
The decorative topper contains brass, so keep this piece dry and reserve it for occasional wear in a fully healed piercing. Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
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 design contains brass and should be kept dry and worn only in fully healed piercings. Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
Jewellery containing brass is best reserved for occasional wear. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to help protect the decorative finish.
Brass can react to water, sweat, perfume and lotions. Keep this piece dry and avoid contact with swimming pools, seawater, cleaning products and cosmetics.
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 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.
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.
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.
