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

YOUR JEWELLERY CARE ROUTINE
Wear thoughtfully
Choose the right moments for your jewellery
Jewellery containing brass is best reserved for occasional wear. Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping to help protect the decorative finish.
Protect from exposure
Water, sweat and everyday chemicals
Brass can react to water, sweat, perfume and lotions. Keep this piece dry and avoid contact with swimming pools, seawater, cleaning products and cosmetics.
Clean gently
Simple care without harsh products
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 with care
Keep your jewellery clean, dry and protected
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.
Caring for crystals & decorative details
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
Protecting your PVD finish
Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.
Mixed-material jewellery
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.
If your piercing is still healing
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.
