COVE Dangle Cartilage Stud

Developed over 18 months by certified piercing experts, our new internally threaded labrets combine two high-quality nickel, lead and cadmium free materials, 925 Sterling Silver and 316L Surgical Steel. Our innovative production method was created to offer a skin-friendly alternative to 'costume' piercing jewellery which is known to cause skin irritation and discolouration due to low-quality brass based materials. You deserve jewellery that isn't just beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. Learn more about the process here.

The green discolouration commonly observed in ear piercings is often caused by a chemical reaction between low-quality metals in the jewellery and substances present on the skin. It is particularly associated with metals such as brass, an alloy composed primarily of copper and zinc. When the metal reacts with sweat, oils, or other chemicals on the skin, it can result in the formation of a green coloured compound, typically known as copper oxide. This reaction is likely to occur with cheap jewellery that contains toxic base metals which should never be worn in ear piercings for prolonged periods of time.

To prolong the life of your jewellery, please follow our care guide. 

• Use a soft lint-free cloth regularly to keep your jewellery clean and shiny
• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals that may cause damage
• Store your earrings in an air-tight pouch when not in use
