How do I choose the right size for my flat back earrings?

We offer four sizes: 5mm, 6.5mm, 8mm, and 10mm. To find the best fit, measure the distance from your piercing to the edge of your ear. If you need assistance, our sizing guide or customer service team can help you select the perfect size.

What are the best earring backs for cartilage piercings?

Threaded flat back earrings are widely considered the best option for cartilage piercings. They provide a secure, comfortable fit, sit flush against the ear, and are less likely to snag or irritate sensitive areas like the helix, tragus cartilage or lobe.

How do you insert a flat back cartilage earring?

Insert the threaded post from the back of the ear, then gently screw the decorative front into place. It may take a little practice, but once in, the earring stays secure without poking or shifting.

Are Estella's flat back gold earrings hypoallergenic?

Yes! All of our flat back gold earrings are made from solid 14K gold, which is naturally hypoallergenic and nickel-free—perfect for sensitive ears and healing piercings.

What are the cons of flat back earrings?

The main consideration is that threaded flat back earrings can take a bit longer to insert. But most customers find the long-term comfort, security, and aesthetic well worth it. Once you get used to them, you won’t want to go back to traditional earrings!

In what piercings can flat back stud earrings be worn?

Flat back stud earrings are incredibly versatile and can be worn in the helix, tragus, conch, rook, forward helix, and lobe piercings. Their snag-free design and secure fit make them a favorite for cartilage piercings.

Are flat back stud earrings comfortable to sleep in?

Absolutely. Our flat back earrings are specifically designed to be sleep-friendly, with no sharp edges or bulky backs. Customers love how they can wear them overnight with zero irritation.

Will a flat back stud earring fall out easily?

Not likely! Our flat back earrings are designed with a secure, internally threaded post that screws tightly into place, making them highly resistant to loosening—even while you sleep, work, or work out.
