Fashion and Piercing jewelry differ in their construction and materials, and piercing jewelry is optimized for the safety and healing of your new piercing holes!
The construction of piercing jewelry is designed for optimal piercing safety and healing! Studs only uses piercing jewelry constructed out of solid 14K white or yellow gold, or implant-grade titanium (ASTM F-136 compliant). All of our piercing jewelry is 14 or 16 gauge in thickness as well.
Using 14 or 16 gauge earrings for a fresh piercing (as opposed to smaller gauge jewelry) helps stabilize the post inside the new piercing, decreasing the chances of irritation bumps & drifting.
Our piercing jewelry is currently only available in our studios, but you can view our assortment HERE.
Our fashion jewelry base metal is primarily sterling silver, brass, or titanium, finished with durable rhodium, 14K white gold, or 14K yellow gold plating. Depending on the earring style you choose, our fashion jewelry can range from 18 to 20 gauge in thickness. Specifics for each earring can be found in the “Details and Materials” section!
Some of our most popular studs are sold as both piercing and fashion jewelry—it's the best of both worlds! While a fashion stud and piercing stud may look similar, there are differences in both functionality and material construction. For this reason, they will be priced differently!
*We do not recommend swapping out your piercing jewelry for any styles from our fashion assortment until your piercing is fully healed! Once your holes are fully healed, you are welcome to purchase fashion jewelry both in the studio or online at Studs.com!
