20 Gauge 14K Gold Plated Crystal Starburst Flat Back Stud
Delivery £30+
✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Add a celestial accent to your ear jewellery with this 14K Gold Plated Crystal Starburst Flat Back Stud. Polished rays surround a sparkling clear cubic zirconia centre, creating a decorative alternative to a simple crystal stud.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Crystal Starburst Design: A light-catching centre stone sits within a detailed arrangement of rays for a distinctive celestial finish.
✓ 14K Gold Plated Finish: Warm gold plating coordinates beautifully with moon-shaped studs, classic hoops and other gold-toned jewellery.
✓ Flat Disc Back: The flat backing keeps the rear profile neat, with an externally threaded fastening.
💎 The Detail
Detailed without needing a dangling element, this starburst adds interest to a minimalist jewellery arrangement. Wear it as a focal point in your lobe or pair it with smaller pieces for a coordinated celestial look.
The stud features 316L surgical steel construction, an 8mm post and a listed 4mm topper. Its 20 Gauge thickness measures 0.8mm, so check that this finer gauge matches your piercing rather than treating it as a direct replacement for thicker cartilage jewellery.
Recommended for fully healed piercings. To help preserve the plating, avoid prolonged moisture, perfumes and abrasive cleaning products. Remove before swimming, handle the decorative rays gently and check that the fastening is secure before wearing.
Sold individually.
