What are threadless tops?

Threadless tops are the decorative end pieces used in a push fit body jewellery system. They attach to a compatible threadless post or labret using a bent-pin tension mechanism — no screwing required. The slight bend in the pin creates resistance when inserted into the post, holding the top securely in place.

How do push fit piercing tops work?

The pin on the back of a threadless top is bent at a slight angle — typically 30 to 45 degrees. When you press the top into a compatible threadless post, the pin straightens slightly against the internal walls of the post, creating a tension fit. To remove, you gently pull the top straight out. No tools, no threading.

What gauge are threadless tops?

Most threadless tops are available in 16g (1.2mm), 18g (1.0mm), and 20g (0.8mm). The gauge of the top must match the gauge of your threadless post. Check your existing post's gauge before ordering — using a mismatched gauge will result in a poor or insecure fit.

Are threadless tops compatible with all piercing posts?

No. Threadless tops only work with threadless (push fit) posts and labrets. They are not compatible with internally threaded or externally threaded fittings. If your current jewellery uses a screw-on end, it uses a different system and requires a different type of top.

What is the difference between threadless and internally threaded jewellery?

Internally threaded jewellery has a screw socket recessed inside the post — the decorative end screws in. Threadless jewellery uses a bent-pin tension fit with no threading. Threadless tops are generally faster to swap and remove the risk of cross-threading, which makes them popular for cartilage placements and frequent jewellery changes.

Which piercings use threadless tops?

Threadless tops are commonly used in helix, flat, tragus, conch, and anti-tragus ear piercings, as well as nostril and labret piercings. Any piercing that uses a threadless post or threadless labret as its base fitting is compatible with threadless tops.

Are implant-grade titanium threadless tops safe for sensitive ears?

Implant-grade titanium manufactured to ASTM F136 standard contains no nickel and is widely recommended by professional piercers for individuals with metal sensitivities. Where a product is listed as implant-grade titanium, this standard applies. Always check the individual product listing to confirm material grade.

Can I use threadless tops in a healing piercing?

Threadless tops are intended for healed or professionally assessed piercings. Changing jewellery in an unhealed piercing can cause irritation, extend healing time, or introduce infection risk. If your piercing is new or still healing, consult a qualified professional piercer before changing your jewellery.

What size threadless top do I need?

End size refers to the visible diameter of the decorative top — separate from gauge. Gem threadless tops typically range from 2mm to 6mm. The right size depends on your anatomy, piercing placement, and personal preference. Smaller ends (2mm–3mm) suit finer placements like nostril and tragus; larger ends (4mm–6mm) have more visual presence in helix or flat piercings.

Do you deliver threadless tops to UK addresses?
