316LVM surgical steel and metal alloy Austrian crystal Adhesive-set External Lobes, helix, tragus, and more! Each piece is sold individually. The PREMIUM Surgical Steel Crystal Bee Cartilage Stud 16g is a high-quality piece designed especially for cartilage piercings. Put this stud through your piercing from the front. Then screw the bead on. The bead is more secure and comfortable than a traditional earring with a butterfly backing. The PREMIUM Surgical Steel Crystal Bee Cartilage Stud 16g is 316LVM surgical steel! 316LVM surgical steel is a low carbon vacuum melted. This process removes almost all the nickel from the jewelry. This makes the jewelry hypoallergenic. Please note: because it cannot remove all the nickel, those with extreme sensitivities may still react. We recommend grade 23 titanium if this is 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. 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. Like we said at the beginning, this stud is a favourite for cartilage piercings. Here are a few examples: helix, tragus, flat, and even ear lobes!
