Introduction to our new 18K flat-back studs
What are flat back studs?
Exactly like the name suggests, these are earring studs with a smooth, flat backing that sits flush against the skin. This is different from the typical standard butterfly backing where the post sticks out.

What are the benefits of flat back studs?
- Comfort and Fit: One of the main advantages of flat back studs is their comfort. The flat backing minimizes the risk of irritation or pressure against the skin, making them ideal for healing piercings or for those who are sensitive to traditional earring backs.
- No Snagging: The flat design minimizes the risk of snagging on clothing or other objects, making them ideal for active lifestyles.
- The flat backing also reduces the chances of the stud catching on clothing or hair.
- Versatility: These studs are highly versatile and can be used in various types of piercings, including earlobes, cartilage, nostrils, and even lip piercings. The flat back design makes them a great choice for both healing and everyday wear.
- Stability: The flat back ensures that the stud stays securely in place. This stability is particularly beneficial for cartilage piercings or other areas where traditional posts might shift or cause discomfort.
- Easy to Clean: The smooth, flat back of the stud is easy to clean and maintain. This simplicity helps in keeping piercings hygienic and reduces the risk of infection or irritation.
- Discreet and Sleek: Flat back studs offer a minimalist and sleek look that’s perfect for those who prefer a more subtle style. Their low-profile design ensures that they are less noticeable.
