PREMIUM Claw-Set Round Cartilage Stud 16g

Surgical Steel or PVD titanium Austrian Crystal Claw-set External Lobes, helix, tragus, and more! Each piece is sold individually. The PVD Claw-Set Round Cartilage Stud is a high-quality piece designed especially 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. 316LVM surgical steel goes through a process called low carbon vacuum melting. The process sucks the nickel out of the steel. Nickel is one of the most common causes of metal allergies. This process cannot remove 100% of nickel. As a result, a small number of people react to it. We recommend our anodized, blackline, or untreated titanium body jewelry if this is a concern for you. PVD is more durable than traditional plating. Gold tones may cause allergic reactions. If you have sensitivities, we recommend wearing our steel, anodized, blackline, or untreated titanium options instead. The stones are Austrian crystals, so they won't lose their sparkle over time. If it looks a little dull, a quick clean will bring it back to life. The stones are claw-set to keep them securely in place. This piece is 16g. 16g is the standard size for a cartilage piercing if you were pierced with a needle. However, if you were pierced with a gun, your piercing may be too small for this. You can shop our for options that will fit you. This stud is a favorite for cartilage piercings. Here are a few examples: helix, tragus, flat, and even ear lobes! Show us where you wear yours with #BodyModsFamous on Instagram. We LOVE seeing our jewelry out in the real world.
