Three marquise-cut stones are arranged in a small fan, like a tiny claw gripping the ear. The slight curve of the cluster means it sits flush against the skin, especially in a helix or conch, instead of just sticking straight out from the piercing.

You're looking at a single piercing stud made of polished 14k rose gold. Three marquise-cut cubic zirconia stones fan out from a short stem, each one held securely by prongs at its pointed ends. The facets on the stones are sharp and clear, designed to catch light from any angle. The stud itself has an internally threaded post with a flat disc back for a comfortable, low-profile fit against the skin.

We make this from solid 14k gold, not plated. It's 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for durability, which means it’s tough enough for a piercing you never take out and it won't tarnish or turn your skin green. The stones are high-grade cubic zirconia, so they have a clean, bright sparkle. The post is internally threaded—the screw is on the decorative end—which means the bar that passes through your ear is completely smooth and won't scrape a healing piercing.

You'd pick this for the shape. The curved fan of stones is designed to hug the cartilage in a helix, flat, or conch piercing. It's more interesting than a solitaire stud but is still small and low-profile. Because the stud has a flat back, you can sleep on it comfortably without it digging in.
