The six stones aren't set in a perfect line. They're clustered at different heights and angles to form a gentle curve. It’s made to follow the natural shape of a helix or conch piercing, so it sits just right.

You're looking at a cluster of six round-cut cubic zirconia stones. Two larger stones sit near the centre, flanked by four smaller ones, all held in four-prong settings. They're arranged in a slight arc, not a straight bar. The metal is a polished yellow gold, and the back is a flat labret-style screw post, so it sits flush against your ear.

The core is solid 925 sterling silver. We plate it with 14k gold for its rich yellow colour, and then add a clear e-coating on top. The e-coating acts as a barrier, which means it helps protect the gold from wearing down over time. All the materials are hypoallergenic. The stones are brilliant-cut cubic zirconia, and the screw-back post has a flat disc on the end, which means it won't poke you from behind your ear. It's designed for piercings you leave in.

People choose this stud for its shape. A straight bar can look stiff, but the gentle arc of this cluster follows the curve of your ear. It’s a way to fill out a helix or conch piercing with something that looks like it was made to fit that specific spot.
