16 Gauge Golden Dangling Cross Faux Plug Earring
Bring an alternative edge to your ear jewellery with this Gold Dangling Cross Faux Plug Earring. A cross charm suspended from a delicate chain adds movement beneath the plug-inspired stud.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Plug-Inspired Style: Get the distinctive faux-plug look with a 16 Gauge post, rather than a large-gauge plug.
✓ Dangling Cross Detail: The chain-suspended charm brings movement and makes a striking focal point alongside simpler earrings.
✓ Warm Gold Finish: Gold PVD gives the design a coordinated golden appearance that pairs beautifully with other gold-toned pieces.
💎 The Detail
Wear it alone for an asymmetric look or coordinate it with understated studs and hoops. Leave enough space around the charm so it can hang freely without catching on neighbouring jewellery.
The earring combines a 316L surgical steel stud with a brass charm. Its externally threaded post measures 1.2mm thick with a 6mm wearable length. Check both measurements before ordering: the faux-plug design does not mean it will fit every existing lobe piercing.
Reserve for occasional wear in a fully healed lobe piercing. Keep the brass decoration dry, remove before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping, and avoid perfumes and harsh cleaning products. Handle the chain gently and check the fastening before wearing.
Sold individually.
