Sterling Silver Sword customized artisan piercing jewelry

This sword piercing will be handmade to order and customized to your ear. Check below for more details.

~~~ Sterling Silver Sword ~~~

This sleek sword design measures 12mm X 4mm, which is pretty long so should probably be reserved for daith, upper lobe, or fairly flat helix piercings. I will round out the tip, though, to make sure it doesn't poke. I usually attach the post centered, but it can be anywhere.

This earring’s design is sterling silver! It may develop a patina over time. A layer of clear nail polish will prevent it from gaining a patina but a much better option is to use a shining cloth to remove that patina and give it greater depth as it ages. 

Sterling silver is a metal alloy containing 92.5% Silver to Copper. Pure silver, without a small amount of copper, is too soft for most jewelry.

~~~ SIMPLEST POST OPTION ~~~

- The Regular Earring Post - 

 This is a 22 Gauge 10mm Surgical Steel Post. The backs are hypoallergenic silicone bullet backs and Titanium butterfly backs. Perfect for traditional lobe piercings.

~~ THE OTHER STANDARD POST 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 cartilage 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 often more comfortable 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.

• int = Internally Threaded. This means the front design-part of the earring has a screw that goes IN the post. The post itself is a tube ending in a flat disc in a “labret” style. 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 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 Titanium, Surgical Steel Nose Hoops/Screws, Lapel Pins, Charms, or Ear hugs are either available to add to your order in the upgrade section of the shop or can be made by custom request. Please put BOTH the earring and the upgraded post into your cart before checking out. Thanks!
