316LVM surgical steel or Gold PVD titanium and metal alloy N/A External 15mm feather Lobes, helix, tragus, and more! Each piece is sold individually. The Feather Cartilage Stud is a high-quality piece best for cartilage piercings. Put this stud through your piercing from the front and screw the bead on. The bead is more secure and comfortable than a traditional earring with a butterfly backing. The Feather Cartilage Stud post is 316LVM surgical steel or PVD titanium! Gold, and rose gold-tone options are Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) titanium. PVD's more durable and therefore lasts longer than traditional plating. Yellow and rose gold coatings may cause reactions. If you have sensitivities, we recommend wearing our steel, anodized, blackline, or untreated titanium options instead. Metal alloys are ideal for casting, which makes them perfect for jewelry with fine details. Metal Alloys with a PVD coating can help negate this reaction, but they may still irritate those with the strongest sensitivities. To avoid turning green, metal alloy jewelry is recommended to be cleaned often and not worn in moist/sweaty places. This piece is 16g. 16g is the standard size for a cartilage piercing done by a needle. However, if your piercing was with a gun, your piercing may be too small for this.
