Princess Cut Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings, 2mm to 8mm
A princess-cut cubic zirconia held in a four-claw setting on a 316L surgical stainless steel post. Seven stone sizes from 2mm to 8mm, so you can buy a discreet everyday stud or a statement pair from the same design.
Why the Post Matters
316L surgical stainless steel - the grade used for body jewellery, and the reason these suit sensitive ears where plated posts cause trouble.
Princess cut zircon - a square step cut that throws sharper flashes of light than a standard round.
Silver-plated finish - a bright cool tone over a durable steel core.
Everyday wearable - light enough to sleep in and sit comfortably under headphones.
Product Details
Post: 316L surgical stainless steel
Stone: Cubic zirconia, princess cut
Sizes: 2mm to 8mm
Finish: Silver plated
Choosing Your Size
2mm and 3mm sit almost flush and suit a second or third piercing, or a first stud for someone who does not want to be noticed. 4mm and 5mm are the everyday middle ground. 6mm and above read as a proper statement stud and are better worn alone than stacked. For a helix or cartilage piercing, smaller is usually the safer choice.
Care
The steel post will not rust or react, but the plated finish is a surface layer. Remove before swimming and showering, put them in after perfume and hairspray, and wipe with a soft dry cloth. Cubic zirconia dulls from soap film rather than damage, so an occasional clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush restores the sparkle.
FAQ
Are they suitable for sensitive ears? The post is 316L surgical stainless steel, the same grade used for body piercing jewellery, which most sensitive wearers tolerate well.
Which size is most popular? 4mm and 5mm for everyday wear. Go smaller for cartilage piercings and larger if the studs are the only jewellery you are wearing.
Is this sterling silver? No. The post is surgical stainless steel with a silver-plated finish, which is more hard-wearing than sterling for an everyday stud.
