LuxeCartilage™ CZ Star Flat Back Stud | 16G Titanium
Description
Cute Earrings Shouldn't Hurt. Sleep Poke-Free.
Meet LuxeCartilage™ — a low-profile CZ star flat-back stud designed for a clean, comfortable look across compatible 16G piercings.
ASTM F136 titanium. Smooth flat back. Everyday sparkle.
Sleep without the poke.
Why a Flat Back Feels Different
Traditional butterfly-back earrings can leave a raised backing against the skin. LuxeCartilage™ uses a flat-back labret design that keeps the rear profile low and close to the skin.
The LuxeCartilage™ Difference
- Flat-back profile — low-profile design for everyday wear
- ASTM F136 titanium — current product specification identifies the material as nickel-free
- 16G / 1.2mm — designed for compatible 16G piercings
- CZ star top — delicate sparkle for everyday styling
- Internally threaded — secure, low-profile construction
- Natural titanium or gold PVD — choose your finish
4 Reasons You'll Love It
1. ASTM F136 Titanium
Made with ASTM F136 titanium and specified as nickel-free. If you have a known material sensitivity, confirm compatibility before wearing.
2. Smooth Flat Back
The low-profile disc sits close against the skin instead of using a traditional butterfly-style backing.
3. Made for Everyday Wear
The titanium construction is designed for everyday jewelry use. Rinse after chlorine or salt-water exposure and follow the manufacturer's care guidance.
4. Delicate CZ Star
A small CZ star adds a refined sparkle without overwhelming your ear stack.

Why the Flat Back Changes Everything

ASTM F136: Certified Body-Safe
ASTM F136 is the only titanium standard certified for surgical implants. It eliminates impurities that cause irritation bumps, allergic reactions, and delayed healing — not just “titanium”, but the right kind.
5A Prong-Set CZ Star
The 3mm star-cut cubic zirconia is held by five prongs for a secure, sparkly finish. High-clarity 5A grade means more brilliance and cleaner light reflection than standard CZ.
Flat Back = No Pressure, No Pain
The flat disc eliminates the pressure and irritation caused by traditional butterfly backs. Sits flush against the skin — comfortable for helix, tragus, nose, and labret placements, even overnight.
Internally Threaded for Safer Changes
Threads are inside the post, not on the outside. No sharp threads pass through the piercing during insertion or when swapping tops — less trauma, cleaner healing.
