About this Product
~~~The Earrings~~~ This is a SET of two earrings (a period and a comma) handmade in 14 Karat Gold on customized posts. This is perfect for a double forward helix piercing.
This is not for a matching pair of earrings, but for a two earring set that is ONE design.
~~~ The Semicolon! ~~~
CUSTOM HANDMADE Semicolon Set Perfect for a piercing just about anywhere.
The semicolon is handmade, and as a handmade product each individual piece will be unique. They will all, however, come close to what is pictured and I always strive to never ship anything I wouldn't want to receive myself.
~~~ SIMPLEST OPTION ~~~
Regular Earring Post - This is a 22 Gauge wide, 10mm long, Surgical Steel Post. It includes a hypoallergenic silicone back as well as an extra wide titanium butterfly back. These are for traditional lobe piercings and are the classic pointy earring design.
~~ THE OTHER OPTIONS ~~~
Body Jewelry Style Post options are organized by GAUGE . LENGTH . METAL . TYPE
GAUGE: This refers to how thick a post is. Higher numbers mean skinnier wires. 22g is the skinniest possible jewelry post.
LENGTH: This is the length of the post. It’s measured in millimeters because they’re whole numbers and inches ends up needing fractions. Regular earring posts are usually around 10mm. Healed helix piercings are usually between 8mm-5mm. Longer posts can be special ordered.
METAL: This is the metal that the POST itself is made out of. The jewelry design is often a different metal.
SS = Surgical Steel. I use 316L Steel. This is a kind of Stainless Steel often used for surgical tools. It’s the best type I can source. It is extremely hard, nonreactive, and easy to sanitize.
Flex = Bioflex. This is NOT metal. It’s a nickname that refers to a soft flexible plastic. It’s safer for mouth piercings, but is less durable than steel. It’s currently only available in 16g and the top is a short pin that inserts into the tube of the shaft. I usually send a free extra post. It can be trimmed down to 6mm. Longer bioflex posts can be found in the Add-On section.
TYPE: This refers to how you connect the front of the post to the back. Posts have a variety of closures and different styles are good for different things.
IT = Internally Threaded. This means the front has a screw that goes IN the post. The post itself is a tube ending in a flat disc in a “labret” style. The shaft may have a tiny dent so the screw is nice and firm and unlikely to unscrew itself. The disc of the back is about 4mm wide.
PF = Press Fit. These Threadless posts are the best for tiny designs or jewelry that’s worn all the time. The post is a hollow tube with a flat disc back. The front of the earring has a slightly curved wire pin attached to the back that inserts into the post. The pin can be bent to increase friction and make it harder to open/close.
UPGRADE: Alternate posts such as Nose Hoops/Screws, Lapel Pins, or Ear hugs are available to add to your order in the upgrade section of the shop. Please put BOTH the earring and the upgraded post into your cart before checking out. Thanks!

How it’s Made
These semicolons are really special. I make each and every one out of melted gold wire, and then spend time carving it into the perfect shape. I don't premake any of the semicolons, or use any parts that have been cast. Each semicolon is as unique as the life of the person wearing it.
