Watermelon Afghan Tourmalines — Flat Back Studs — Made to Order
If you have a cartilage piercing, you know most earrings weren't designed for you.
This is a press-fit (threadless) flat back stud — the disc sits flush against the skin, no protruding post, designed for all-day and sleep wear. Suitable for lobe, helix, conch, tragus, and cartilage. The stones are Afghan watermelon tourmalines in a sparkly cushion mixed cut — natural pink and green zoning, light and clean, bezel-set to protect the perimeter. They remind me of spring.
Sold as a single earring. Post gauge: 18G. Specify post length at checkout.
