16 Gauge Titanium Threadless Crystal Top Flat Back Stud
✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Available in silver or gold, this 16 Gauge Titanium Threadless Crystal Flat Back Stud combines a 4mm cubic zirconia topper with an ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium post. Its sleek flat back and secure push-fit construction create a polished, versatile option for compatible cartilage and labret piercings.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✔ ASTM F136 Implant-Grade Titanium: Lightweight, nickel-free and highly resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin.
✔ Easy Threadless Fit: The push-fit topper secures without traditional screw threading, creating a smooth and convenient closure.
✔ Silver or Gold Sparkle: Choose natural silver-toned titanium or a warm gold PVD finish, both completed with a light-catching 4mm crystal.
💎 The Detail
Minimal, polished and easy to style, this titanium flat back stud features a classic round cubic zirconia topper that adds just the right amount of sparkle. The 4mm stone is noticeable without being overly elaborate, making it easy to wear alone or within a curated ear.
The 16G post has an 8mm wearable length and a smooth flat backing. Choose natural silver titanium for a clean finish or gold PVD for a warmer look. The threadless topper should be gently bent before insertion to create the tension needed to hold it securely.
Suitable for compatible fresh or healed piercings when the gauge, post length, jewellery style and fit have been approved by a professional piercer.

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.
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
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.
