“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”

Description

A flatback stud with two bezel-set stones suspended on fine chains of different lengths. Designed for vertical helix or hidden helix placement - the chains drape down for movement and dimension.

  • F-136 implant-grade titanium
  • 18k gold PVD plating
  • 1.2mm gauge (16g)
  • Internally threaded - twist the front charm onto the flatback post
  • Flat disc back sits flush against the ear for sleep-proof, 24/7 comfort wear
  • Bezel-set cubic zirconia stones on fine chain drops
  • Designed for vertical helix or hidden helix piercings

Please note: 1.2mm is a standard cartilage gauge and may be too thick for most lobe piercings, which are typically pierced at 0.8mm or 1.0mm.

Will it fit?

8mm - standard for lobes and most fresh piercings.

6mm - a snug fit for thinner cartilage placements (helix, tragus, flat). Fully healed and want it flush? Choose 6mm.

Internally threaded, with threads 3x longer than standard so the front catches first time at home. Sold as a single - choose Pair above if you want two.

Fresh piercing? Posts often need downsizing once the swelling goes. Ask your piercer when.

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.

01

Unscrew the front

The top twists off the post.

02

Post through from behind

The flat disc sits against the back of your ear.

03

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.

Straight from the ears.

I really love the design of this earring but I think it would be so much better if they offered different ones for your left and right ear as obviously they curve differently and these earrings are a-symmetrical

I am very pleased with my purchase, it is made well, feels quality and I have no problems recommending it to my friends and family. I will definitely be looking at more 🤩

Customer photo review of Climbing ivy flatback gold

The earring is dainty and very comfortable. I have smaller ears so it’s a little too big for my cartilage piercing - I will wear it lower down my ear.

Customer photo review of Gilded leaf flatback Silver

I preordered the gilded leaf flatback stud and it was worth the wait! It came within the delivery window that it stated and came perfectly packaged with a lovely travel pouch! The item itself is perfect, I love the shape of the flatback! I also love that the screw in front has a slightly longer thread than others, making it easier to tighten the earring. The piece is perfect and I love the design and the shine it has!
