Nice earring, however the post
"Nice earring, however the post is much too long for my helix piercing, it continually fell forward and spun around. Have had to remove it so sadly for me was waste of money."

The curved arrangement of crystal-studded stars creates a flowing constellation-inspired silhouette for an eye-catching statement within a curated ear stack.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Celestial Shooting Star Design: A curved row of crystal-studded stars creates a distinctive constellation-inspired look that adds instant personality to your ear stack.
✔ Sparkling Crystal Detail: Shimmering cubic zirconia stones catch and reflect the light across the design for an eye-catching finish from every angle.
✔ Internally Threaded Flat Back: The threading sits inside the post for a smooth exterior, while the flat-back design keeps the overall finish sleek and streamlined.
💎 The Detail
Playful, sparkling and made for standout ear styling, this Shooting Stars stud brings a little cosmic charm to your jewellery collection. The curved arrangement of stars creates a flowing silhouette that works beautifully as a statement piece within a layered ear stack.
Wear it alone to let the celestial design shine or combine it with simple hoops and studs for a more detailed, curated look.

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.
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.
