Implant-grade titanium · made for sensitive ears

Piercing jewellery that doesn’t fight your ears.

Solid ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium — the same grade surgeons use. No nickel, no coating to wear off. If your piercings itch, crust, or never quite settle, this is usually why. Switch, and your ear calms down.

Why ears react

It’s almost never “just sensitive skin”

Most studs sold as titanium are titanium-plated over a nickel alloy, or a mystery “surgical steel” that still contains nickel. Your body reacts to the nickel — the redness, the weeping, the bump that won’t go down.

Ordinary stud

Nickel alloy with a plated finish that wears through. Reacts, especially on a healing piercing.

Cura titanium

Solid ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium. No nickel, nothing to flake. Waterproof and tarnish-free.

Every Cura piece is the certified standard for what goes inside the human body. Sleep, shower and swim in it.

From people who switched

What changed after they moved to titanium

“My previous earrings started making my ears black and sore. After these it’s been a lot better.” — Thaakirah, first lobe + helix

“Titanium really is the best for my sensitive ears — and the different stone sizes make the whole stack look balanced.” — Amy, tragus + second lobe

“I work in a professional environment so I can’t do too in-your-face. This gives me sparkly and subtle at once.” — Carla-Marié, septum

Before you ask

Questions people have first

Will this actually stop my ears reacting?
If nickel is the cause — and for most people it is — yes. Solid ASTM F136 titanium has no nickel and no plating. If it doesn’t help within 30 days, it’s a full refund.
How do I know which post length to pick?
8mm suits most first-time helix, tragus and conch piercings and anything still settling. Choose 6mm for a close, flush fit or for lobes. Still unsure? Message us your placement and we’ll tell you.
Is it sold as a single or a pair?
A single — most cartilage placements take one. Add two to your cart and the “Buy 2 studs, save 10%” discount applies automatically.
Can I sleep and shower in it?
Yes. It’s waterproof and tarnish-free, and the flat back is designed to be comfortable to sleep on.
How fast is delivery?
Dispatched from Johannesburg within 24 hours. 3–4 working days to main areas, tracked. R100 flat, free over R950.
What if my ears react to it?
30-Day Hypoallergenic Happiness Guarantee on all titanium. If your ear reacts, we will refund you.
