Instead of a single centre stone, these studs use a tight cluster of seven cubic zirconia. This creates a different kind of sparkle, catching the light from more angles at once and giving the piece a textured, glittering surface.
This is a pair of flower-shaped studs. The body is solid 14K gold, polished to a high shine. Each flower has five rounded petals that curve up around a central cluster of seven tiny, brilliant-cut cubic zirconia. The stones are set close together in a pavé style, creating a single surface of sparkle. The posts are secured with matching gold butterfly backs.
We use solid 14K gold, not plated. It's an alloy of 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength, which means it’s tough enough to handle daily life without bending out of shape. It also means the colour won't fade or rub off, and it's generally a safe bet for sensitive ears. The stones are cubic zirconia, a durable, lab-created alternative to diamonds that throws a lot of sparkle without the same cost.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold
- Stone: Cubic Zirconia
- Flower Dimensions: 5 mm x 5 mm
- Post Length: 6 mm
- Sold as a pair
These are for when you want a flower stud that isn't big or cartoonish. At just 5 mm across, they sit flat and neatly on the lobe. They're small enough for a second piercing but have enough sparkle from the seven-stone cluster to be noticed on their own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these 14K gold Shiny Flower Studs irritate my sensitive ears?
It's unlikely. Our 14K gold is a high-quality alloy containing 58.3% pure gold and is nickel-free, which is the most common cause of metal allergies. While everyone's body is different, solid 14K gold is generally considered hypoallergenic and safe for most people with sensitive skin, even for new piercings.
Can I wear my gold flower earrings in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear your solid 14K gold earrings in the shower. Water won't harm them, but soaps and shampoos can leave a film that dulls the shine over time. We recommend avoiding pools and hot tubs, as chlorine can damage the gold and the stone settings.
Is the 6 mm post on the Shiny Flower Studs long enough for a cartilage piercing?
A 6 mm post is a standard length that fits most lobe piercings perfectly. For cartilage piercings, it depends on your anatomy. It can work for a healed helix piercing on thinner cartilage, but it might be too short for a new piercing (which needs room for swelling) or thicker areas.
