General
Threadless jewellery is a new type of flatback jewellery that is simpler to use
You no longer have to schedule time to change your cartilage jewellery, it's as easy as push, press, done!
The top simply pushes into the post and there you go, your new jewellery is on! No more screws, losing the top or unscrewing it by mistake.
All Cura Threadless jewellery comes with the pin pre-bent, so there is no need to bend more unless you would like it slightly tighter or looser (see diagram below for how to bend the pin for a tighter fit)
Check out the video below to see how to insert your threadless jewellery.
Cura jewellery is all 16G/1,2mm (post thickness) this means that the earring will ONLY fit into piercings done with a 16G needle - this is the standard needle size for cartilage piercings done at professional piercing studios.
Please ensure that your piercing is 16G before purchaseing as we DO NOT refund earrings that do not fit.
Please consult our size guide below for standard sizes (this can differ for each person) of posts for healed piercings, if you are still unsure, please visit one of our official Cura stockists to ensure you get the right size for your piercing.
Flat Back Posts Lengths
Flat back earrings come in a range of standard lengths:
6mm Length - Standard size for healed piercings i.e Tragus, Helix, Forward Helix and Scapha
8mm Length - Normally for thicker cartilage or newer piercings i.e. Conch, Lobes or newly pierced cartilage
10mm Length - Not common for healed piercings or jewellery changes - these are normally used by piercing studios.
Segment rings or hoops come in various sizes for different piercings.
Please consult the size guide below, or visit one of our official Cura stockists to ensure that you purchase the right size ring for your piercing.
Please note: we do not accept returns or process any refunds for incorrect sizes purchased.
All Cura jewellery is sold singly. To order a pair, please add two of the item to your cart.
Cura will always uphold its hypallergenic promise with all our jewellery.
Our 18K Gold and 18K Rose Gold jewellery does not compromise on this through the use of special process called PVD coating.
PVD (Physical vapor deposition) is a new coating process that is used for coating metals such as titanium and stainless steel while preserving the hypoallergenic properties of the base metal.
PVD coating is more resistant to corrosion from sweat and regular wear than gold plating.
Unlike regular gold plating that easily fades, scratches and loses its colour. PVD coating is a superior coating process that ensures a highly durable, long lasting colour and scratch resistant piece of jewellery.
The process is very easy!
All you have to do is:
- Choose the earring you like
- Choose the size and colour (please ensure the size is correct as we do not do returns or refunds for incorrect sizing)
- Add to cart
- Fill in all your details
- Make payment
- Your earrings will be on their way to you
