How to size a flat back stud

A flat back stud has a decorative top that threads onto a post ending in a smooth, flat disc. The disc rests against the back of the piercing so it sits flush, won't snag, and stays comfortable enough to sleep on. Two measurements make it fit right: gauge (post thickness) and length (post span).

Gauge — the thickness of the post

Gauge is how thick the post is, and it should match what your piercer used so the stud seats securely without shifting. The scale runs in reverse — a smaller number is a thicker post, so an 18G post is thinner than a 16G. Most flat back ear and nostril piercings use 18G or 16G.

Length — the post that spans your piercing

Length is the distance from the flat disc to the front of the stud — the part that passes through your piercing, measured without the decorative top. While healing, a little extra room (often 8mm) leaves space for swelling; once healed, a shorter post (6mm or 5mm) keeps the top sitting close and flush. Too long and the top spins or catches; too short and the disc presses in.

Not sure? Match the gauge and length on jewelry that already fits you, or check with your piercer.

I’m very disappointed with the closure mechanism. I’ve already lost this earring two times because the push-pin backing is not secure.

For a piece made of solid gold and a diamond at this price point, the clasp feels cheap and unreliable. I expected much better quality and safety from fine jewelry. Unfortunately, I can’t trust wearing it anymore.

Hello,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be—especially with a fine jewelry piece meant to be worn with confidence.

Our push-pin (threadless) backs are designed to be secure when properly tensioned, but we understand that in some cases they may need additional adjustment or may not be the preferred style for every wearer. We absolutely want to help make this right.

You have the option to send the piece back to us for assessment. Our jeweler can tighten the pin tension or, if you prefer, discuss alternative backing options to better suit your needs. We want to ensure your jewelry feels safe, secure, and comfortable to wear.

Please let us know how you’d like to proceed, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Kind regards,
FreshTrends

Great quality, great price, great customer service!

I got it in yellow gold 16 gauge 5/16" 8mm. I haven't been able to wear it yet. It's for my new helix piercing that I hope to be able to get really soon. I found out from pervious piercings that I'm very allergic to titanium. Can't do steel either. So nice to find a place that has good quality gold jewelry for a great price.
