ABOUT THE GOLD

This post is made from solid 14k gold appropriate for professional body jewelry.

It is not gold plated or gold filled.

Because 14k gold is an alloy, its exact composition and available colors may vary by manufacturer. We carefully select professional body jewelry from manufacturers whose materials meet our standards for quality body jewelry.

Please refer to the manufacturer information in this listing for specifications specific to this piece.

CONNECTION & COMPATIBILITY

For Threadless Posts:

This post is designed for use with compatible threadless decorative ends. A threadless end has a small pin that inserts into the hollow post and is secured through tension.

Compatibility can vary between manufacturers and jewelry styles. A threadless connection does not automatically guarantee that every threadless end will fit every threadless post.

Always verify compatibility before ordering.

UNDERSTANDING WEARABLE LENGTH

Wearable length is the portion of the post that sits inside your piercing.

It is measured from the inside surface of the flatback disc to the point where the decorative end rests against the opposite side of the piercing.

A post that is too short can create unnecessary pressure on the tissue. A post that is unnecessarily long can allow excessive movement, snagging, and irritation.

Even two people with the exact same type of piercing may require different wearable lengths because anatomy, placement, and piercing angle vary.

WHERE CAN I WEAR IT?

Depending on the gauge, wearable length, anatomy, placement, and decorative end being used, flatback labret posts are commonly worn in piercings such as:

Lobes • Helix • Flat • Conch • Tragus • Forward Helix • Nostril • Labret and Other Appropriate Placements

These are placement suggestions only and do not guarantee fit.

Your anatomy, piercing placement, angle, gauge, stage of healing, and decorative end all influence the jewelry size and configuration you need.

FRESH PIERCING FRIENDLY?

YES — WHEN THE GOLD ALLOY, JEWELRY DESIGN, SIZING, AND PLACEMENT ARE APPROPRIATE

High-quality solid 14k gold from professional body jewelry manufacturers may be appropriate for initial piercings when the alloy meets professional piercing standards.

However, material is only one part of selecting jewelry for a fresh piercing.

The post length, gauge, decorative end, anatomy, placement, weight, construction, and room required for initial swelling must also be appropriate.

If you're purchasing jewelry for a fresh or healing piercing, we recommend having it selected and installed by a professional piercer.

NEED A POST FOR A HEALED PIERCING?

A properly fitted post should allow your jewelry to sit comfortably without unnecessary excess length.

If you were initially pierced with a longer post to accommodate swelling, don't assume your original post length is the size you need now.

Many piercings are downsized during healing once swelling has subsided.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

Body jewelry is not one-size-fits-all.

Before ordering, make sure you know:

• Your required gauge

• Your required wearable length

• Whether you need threadless or internally threaded

• Whether your decorative end is compatible with this post

• Your preferred gold color, when options are available

If you're unsure of your size, please don't guess. Visit our Body Jewelry Sizing Guide or contact us before ordering.

For exact sizing, an in-person fitting with a professional piercer is always best.

GOOD TO KNOW

Professional body jewelry is often sold as individual components so you can pair the decorative end you love with the post size your anatomy actually needs.

One correctly sized post + one compatible decorative end = one complete flatback jewelry setup.

Purchasing the components separately also means you may be able to keep a properly fitted post and change compatible decorative ends when you're ready for a new look.

PLEASE NOTE

• This listing is for ONE solid 14k gold flatback labret post.

• Decorative ends are sold separately unless otherwise stated.

• Jewelry is sold individually, not in pairs.

• This piece is solid gold—not gold plated or gold filled.

• Compatibility between different manufacturers is not guaranteed.

• Product images may be enlarged to show detail.

• Always refer to the listed gauge and wearable-length measurements.

• Never force jewelry or an incompatible decorative end into a post.

• For health and safety reasons, body jewelry is final sale.
