PREMIUM 5 Opal Cartilage Curve 16g

316LVM surgical steel and PVD metal alloy Opal Claw-set External 19mm curved bar Lobes, helix, conch, and more! Each piece is sold individually. The PREMIUM 5 Opal Cartilage Curve is a high-quality piece designed especially for cartilage piercings. Here are a few examples: helix, tragus, flat, and even ear lobes! 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 PREMIUM 5 Opal Cartilage Curve 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, it is recommended that metal alloy jewelry be cleaned often and not worn in moist/sweaty places. The stones are lab-grown opals. Lab-grown opals are superior for body jewelry because they can be autoclaved and are more durable than natural opals. 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.
