PREMIUM Halo Teardrop Cartilage Dangle 16g

316LVM surgical steel and metal alloy Austrian Crystal Claw-set External Lobes, helix, tragus, and more! Each piece is sold individually. The Halo Teardrop Cartilage Dangle is a high-quality piece designed especially for cartilage piercings. This piece goes through your piercing from the front and screws into the back with an bead. This bead is more secure and more 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. The charm is a metal alloy, which is ideal for casting and makes them perfect for jewelry with fine details. Many people have sensitivities to these alloys and may react. 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. 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 a favourite for cartilage piercings (like we said before). Let's look at a few examples: helix, tragus, flat, and even ear lobes!
