Solid gold and sapphire piercing earring, handmade from 18k gold.

This dark sapphire looks almost midnight in tone. Sapphire is a gemstone said to open the mind to increase creative expression and the appreciation of beauty, as well as helping to create a place of inner peace and happiness.

Part of The Aurum Collection - fine piercing jewellery focusing on the highest quality materials and workmanship, and simple yet bold shapes. Designed to be worn together, curate your ear, selecting multiple pieces from the collection or let one speak for itself. Hand polished to golden perfection.

18 carat gold (karat in the USA) has a stunning bright yellow colour, which is simply irresistible. The ultimate luxury, it never goes out of style. It's also perfect for those with allergies as it does not cause skin reactions. You will be able to enjoy your solid gold jewellery for life, and it can be considered an investment.

The post is 1.2mm (16 gauge) wire, standard for cartilage piercings. It is available either with a tight rubber o-ring, or a push fit back of solid gold. The great thing about the o-ring backing is that you can adjust the fit to suit your ear so you don't need to worry about the bar not being the exact right length, and you can swap it into different piercings. This option comes with two O-rings, and a more traditionally shaped clear back so you can decide which style you prefer.

The post length (bar that goes through ear) please choose to fit your piercing. Leave a few millimetres at the back for the fastening if you select the o-ring fastening.
