Description

Genuine Turquoise Labret Stud • Number 8 Turquoise • Surgical Steel Post with Sterling Silver Bezel • Screw‑On Ball Back

Number 8 Turquoise labret‑style screw‑back studs in your choice of 4mm, 5mm, or 6mm cabochons — each one set in a fine‑silver bezel and finished with a smooth screw‑on ball back for secure, everyday comfort. Designed for cartilage, tragus, helix, conch, and lobe wear.

Old‑stock Number 8 stones bring natural matrix and color variation — each one a little desert treasure.

The ball sits at the back of the ear (not a flat disc) for a low‑profile, sleep‑friendly fit. Three stone sizes and three gauges so every ear gets the perfect match. Sold as a single or pair.

✦ Facts to Know
All stainless steel and surgical‑grade steel naturally contain a small amount of nickel as part of the alloy. The nickel is tightly bound, which is why these metals are widely used for sensitive ears. Typical 316L surgical steel contains approximately 8–12% nickel within the alloy.
