Key features & specs

How it compares

The Studs 4mm Titanium Ball Studs stand out in the hypoallergenic market by utilizing implant-grade titanium rather than the more common surgical steel, which can still contain trace amounts of nickel. Compared to standard gold-plated fashion earrings, these titanium studs will never tarnish or cause the "green ear" effect, ensuring a much longer lifespan for continuous wear. They offer a more robust durability than plastic-based earrings without sacrificing the lightweight feel necessary for comfort.

What to know before buying

1. Check your piercing size as the 4mm ball is visible but considered a small, minimalist diameter.
2. Clean the titanium posts with mild soap and water before the first use to remove any manufacturing residue.
3. Ensure the butterfly backs are pushed firmly against the lobe to prevent snagging on clothing or masks.
4. Be aware that titanium has a slightly darker, more gunmetal hue than bright sterling silver.
5. Store in a dry place to maintain the high-polish finish, though titanium is highly corrosion-resistant.
