Amy vertical helix Gold
A quatrefoil flat back sits behind the ear and the front screws on. Nothing to poke, nothing to catch, nothing to take out at night.
“The only materials I recommend for piercings are implant-grade, especially titanium. With cheaper alternatives, you never really know what metals are hidden beneath the plating, and that uncertainty can lead to complications”

8mm - standard for lobes and most fresh piercings.

Delivery & warranty
Same-day dispatch on orders placed Monday to Friday before 2pm.
Letterbox-sized, so it goes through the door. You do not need to be in.
Lifetime warranty against tarnishing on Implantium™ titanium and PureTone™ steel. One year on stones, breakages and plating wearing off.
Implantium™
Implantium™ is our name for ASTM F-136 implant-grade titanium - the alloy standard written for surgical implants, and the metal piercers ask for by name. Nickel-free. Hypoallergenic. Never turns green.
"Titanium" on a label can mean several grades. Implantium™ means one, and it is only available at Smoothie.
Gold styles are plated with real gold over the same titanium.

Why it stays in
Put it in and forget it.
Sleep in it
A flat back behind the ear. Nothing to poke into a pillow.
Shower in it
Swim, sweat, shower. It comes out the same as it went in.
Never turns green
Built to live on you, not in a box.
The metal piercers use
Implantium™ F-136 implant-grade titanium. Nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
How it goes in.
Unscrew the front
The top twists off the post.
Post through from behind
The flat disc sits against the back of your ear.
Twist the front back on
3x longer threads, so it catches first time. Finger-tight. Done.
Built differently
Implantium™. Only at Smoothie.
Piercing grade
ASTM F-136 titanium
Our name for implant-grade titanium - the alloy standard written for surgical implants, and the metal piercers ask for. Nickel-free. Never turns green.
3x longer threads
Easy at home
Because we're sick of dropping our earrings down the sink. Change them at home in 30 seconds.
Pretty from all angles
Not a plain disc
The flat back is a four-leaf shape, so it looks as considered from behind as it does from the front. Nothing to poke into a pillow.
Before you ask
The questions we actually get.
Can I sleep in it?
Yes. A flat disc sits behind the ear instead of a butterfly back, so there is nothing to poke into a pillow.
Will it turn green?
No. Implant-grade titanium does not fade, rust or discolour. Swim, sweat, shower and sleep in it.
Is that one earring or a pair?
One. Flatbacks are sold as singles so you can mix and match across lobe and helix positions. Choose Pair above if you want two of the same.
6mm or 8mm?
8mm is standard for lobes and most fresh piercings. 6mm is a snug fit for thinner cartilage placements - helix, tragus, flat. Tap where it is going above and we will pick for you. Still not sure? Spare posts are £1 each, or £5 for the kit with one of every size.
I have sensitive ears. Is this any different?
Our titanium is Implantium™, implant-grade F-136 - the material piercers actually recommend. Nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Can I put it straight into a fresh piercing?
Implant-grade titanium is what professional piercers use for healing piercings, but healing depends on more than the jewellery - post length, aftercare and not sleeping on it all matter, and posts often need downsizing once the swelling goes. Ask your piercer when to switch. They know your ear.
How do I put it in and take it out?
Internally threaded, with threads 3x longer than standard so the front catches first time. Twist the front piece onto the post to put it in; gently unscrew it to take it out.
What if something goes wrong?
Lifetime warranty against tarnishing on Implantium™ titanium and PureTone™ steel, and a year on stones, breakages and plating wearing off. Message us and we will sort it. Full terms here. Same-day dispatch on orders placed Monday to Friday before 2pm.
What does the back look like?
A quatrefoil post rather than a plain disc, so it looks as considered from behind as it does from the front.
