• Solid 14K Gold Construction: Durable, hypoallergenic material that resists corrosion and develops a natural patina. Suitable for all-day, everyday wear without tarnishing or fading.
• Lab-Grown Diamond Stone: Optically and physically identical to mined diamonds; VVS/VS clarity and D colour grade ensure exceptional sparkle. Ethically sourced and sustainable alternative to traditional diamond mining.
• Claw Setting Design: Classic, timeless mounting that maximises light refraction and showcases the diamond's brilliance from every angle.
• Secure Screw-Back Fastening: Engineered for stability and comfort. The mechanism prevents loosening during movement, sleep, or physical activity while allowing quick, hygienic removal and reinsertion.

• Minimalist Aesthetic: Sleek, refined design that complements any look—from professional environments to casual settings. The subtle sparkle adds sophistication without overwhelming facial features.

1. Verify Piercing Compatibility: Confirm your nose piercing is 22 gauge (0.6mm). If unsure, consult your piercer before inserting the stud.
2. Clean Your Hands: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the stud to prevent introducing bacteria to the piercing.
3. Insert the Stud: Gently guide the bar into the piercing channel. The screw-back design sits at the base of the stone setting.
4. Secure the Screw-Back: Once inserted, rotate the stud clockwise (looking at the nose) to tighten the screw-back mechanism. Tighten until snug—do not over-tighten, as excessive pressure can irritate the piercing.
5. Verify Stability: Gently touch the stud to confirm it's secure. A properly fitted screw-back should not move or loosen with light contact.
6. Removal: Rotate counter-clockwise to loosen the screw-back, then gently slide the stud out. Store in a clean, dry pouch when not wearing.

• Regular Cleaning: Clean with warm water and mild soap 2–3 times per week. Use a soft-bristled brush or cloth to gently remove debris from the stone setting and gold surface.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose to chlorine (pools, hot tubs), alcohol-based products, perfumes, or abrasive cleaning agents. These can affect the gold's finish and potentially loosen the stone.
• Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, pat dry with a soft cloth. Do not leave wet; excess moisture can accumulate in the screw-back mechanism.
• Storage: Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not worn. This protects against scratches, dust, and environmental exposure. Keep separate from other jewellery to prevent cross-scratching.
• Temperature & Humidity: Avoid extreme heat (saunas, direct sunlight for prolonged periods) and very dry environments, which can affect the gold's finish over time.
• Professional Maintenance: If the screw-back loosens frequently or the stone becomes loose, consult a professional jeweller. Do not attempt to tighten the stone yourself—improper adjustments can damage the setting.
• Piercing Hygiene: Keep the piercing channel clean. If experiencing irritation, consult your piercer. While 14K gold is hypoallergenic for most wearers, individual reactions vary.

• Daily Professional Wear: The minimalist design suits corporate, medical, and formal environments. The subtle sparkle adds sophistication without drawing excessive attention, making it ideal for workplaces with conservative dress codes.
• Special Occasions: The lab-grown diamond and 14K gold elevate any formal event—weddings, galas, celebrations. Wear alone for understated elegance or pair with matching earrings for coordinated fine jewellery.
• Piercing Collectors: A premium addition to a curated collection. The screw-back design allows easy rotation between multiple studs, and solid gold pairs seamlessly with other high-quality pieces.
• Investment Jewellery: Solid 14K gold and genuine diamonds retain value. This piece functions as both adornment and wearable asset—suitable for long-term wear and inheritance.
• Gift for Significant Milestones: Symbolises elegance, ethics, and permanence. Appropriate for engagements, anniversaries, graduations, or as a gift for someone beginning their piercing journey with a statement piece.
• Newly Healed Piercings: Hypoallergenic 14K gold and implant-grade status make this suitable for freshly healed nostril piercings. The secure screw-back prevents accidental displacement during the healing adjustment period.
• Everyday Luxury: For those seeking jewellery that transcends occasion. This stud is comfortable enough for all-day wear yet refined enough to feel like a luxury investment every time you touch it.

Bar Length Reference: This stud features a 6mm bar length, standard for nostril piercings. The stone setting measures 5mm in diameter.

How to Determine Your Gauge: Check your piercing confirmation documentation, ask your original piercer, or measure the jewellery currently in your piercing. If unsure, do not insert—consult your piercer to confirm compatibility.

Stone Size Options: Available in 1.5mm, 2mm, and 2.5mm diamonds. Larger stones provide greater sparkle and presence; smaller stones suit those preferring subtlety. All sizes fit the same 5mm setting and 6mm bar.

• Is this stud safe for newly pierced noses?

  Yes. 14K solid gold is hypoallergenic and implant-grade, making it suitable for freshly healed piercings. However, always consult your piercer before changing jewellery, especially if your piercing is less than 6–8 weeks old. The screw-back design prevents accidental loosening, reducing irritation risk during the healing adjustment phase.

• What is the difference between lab-grown and mined diamonds?

  Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds. Both are genuine diamonds with the same hardness, brilliance, and sparkle. The key difference is origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology, eliminating environmental impact and ethical concerns of traditional mining. They are significantly more affordable while delivering the same visual and qualitative performance. This stud's lab-grown diamond (VVS/VS clarity, D colour grade) is indistinguishable from a mined diamond of equivalent quality.

• Will the gold tarnish or fade?

  Solid 14K gold does not tarnish like lower-quality plated alternatives. Over time, it develops a natural patina that deepens its character without affecting structural integrity. With regular gentle cleaning and proper storage, your stud will maintain its lustre and beauty for decades. Unlike gold-plated jewellery that wears through with friction, solid 14K gold is permanent and retains its value indefinitely.

• Can I wear this stud all day, every day?

  Yes. Solid 14K gold and the secure screw-back design make this ideal for all-day, everyday wear. The material resists corrosion from skin oils, moisture, and environmental exposure. The screw-back mechanism prevents loosening during movement, sleep, or physical activity. Many wearers report forgetting they're wearing the stud—a sign of comfort and stability. For maximum longevity, clean regularly and store properly when not worn.

• How do I clean the diamond?

  Use warm water and mild soap, applying with a soft-bristled brush. Gently brush the stone setting and gold surface, paying attention to crevices where debris can accumulate. Avoid abrasive scrubbing, harsh chemicals (including alcohol and perfume), and chlorine. Pat dry with a soft cloth immediately after cleaning. For deep cleaning, consult a professional jeweller every 1–2 years if worn regularly.

• What if the screw-back loosens?

  This is rare if properly tightened, but screw-backs can loosen with repeated insertion/removal or if over-tightened initially. If loosening occurs frequently, consult a professional jeweller—do not attempt to tighten the stone yourself, as improper adjustments can damage the claw setting. Most jewellers can inspect and re-secure the mechanism quickly and affordably.

• Is 14K gold hypoallergenic?

  14K gold is hypoallergenic for the vast majority of wearers, making it suitable for sensitive skin and newly pierced noses. However, individual reactions vary. If you have a documented nickel allergy or history of metal sensitivity, consult your piercer or dermatologist before wearing. While 14K gold contains minimal nickel, trace amounts may affect highly sensitive individuals in rare cases.

• What gauge is this stud, and how do I know if it fits?

  This stud is 22 gauge (22G), which measures 0.6mm in thickness. This is the standard gauge for most nostril piercings. To confirm compatibility, check your piercing documentation, consult your original piercer, or measure your current jewellery. If unsure, ask your piercer before ordering. Inserting a stud into an incompatible gauge can cause irritation and damage to the piercing channel.

• Can I resize the stud or adjust the stone?

  The bar length (6mm) and stone setting (5mm diameter) are fixed. Do not attempt to adjust these yourself. A professional jeweller can make modifications if needed, but this may affect the stud's integrity and warranty. For sizing concerns or custom adjustments, contact Monster Piercing or consult a qualified jeweller before making changes.

• Why choose a lab-grown diamond over a mined diamond?

  Lab-grown diamonds offer identical quality, brilliance, and durability at significantly lower cost. They eliminate ethical concerns and environmental impact associated with traditional diamond mining. Choosing a lab-grown diamond means you're investing in fine jewellery that aligns with contemporary values around sustainability and responsible sourcing. The visual result is indistinguishable—this stud's lab-grown diamond sparkles exactly like a mined diamond of equivalent quality.
