This isn't a static stud. The diamond hangs from a tiny loop just below the gold ball, so it has a bit of life and movement. It catches the light in a completely different way than a fixed stone as you turn your head.

You're looking at a single flat-back piercing, shown from the front and side. The front is a simple, polished 14k gold ball. Hanging from it is a single round, brilliant-cut diamond. The post is straight with a flat disc on the back for comfort, especially when sleeping. The whole piece has a high-polish finish, so both the gold and the diamond reflect a lot of light from every angle.

We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. That's 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it won't tarnish or discolour over time and is safe for most sensitive skin. The post is internally threaded, so the screw-on part is on the decorative end, not the post itself. This creates a smooth post that won't scrape your piercing when you put it in or take it out. It's a more secure and comfortable design.

You'd pick this if you want the comfort of a flat-back stud but with a bit more life. The dangling diamond has movement that a fixed stone doesn't. It's a way to get a little bit of drop and sparkle in a piercing that's still very small and easy to wear all the time.
