    10 REASONS WHY GRAYLING OFFERS THE BEST FLAT BACK EARRINGS AVAILABLE


    1. PIERCER-APPROVED MATERIALS
    Grayling exclusively offers 14k Solid Gold and implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136/G23) for all flat back earrings and nose studs, materials which are renowned for their biocompatibility and are the same high-quality metals preferred by the world's finest piercers. Various gauges and lengths are offered for a perfect fit. Grayling also offers helpful body jewelry supplies like Flat Back Stud Replacement Posts and our top-rated Flat Back Jewelry Applicator Tool

    2. NICKEL-FREE COMPONENTS
    ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium is an ideal option for individuals with nickel allergies, as it contains zero nickel. Additionally, titanium is lightweight and boasts exceptional durability. If you have reactive skin, our flat back studs will feel like heaven on your skin.

    3. SENSITIVE SKIN FRIENDLY
    Grayling is designed by a woman with a serious nickel allergy. Our flat back earrings contain zero nickel (or cadmium, lead, or other toxic materials) making them a perfect option for those with sensitive skin, including our Founder!

    4. SAFE FOR HEALING PIERCINGS
    Designed with a high polish mirror finish, our uncoated titanium + 14K solid gold no-poke sleeper studs promote safe healing for piercings, including placements in keloid-prone cartilage. Our quality mirror finish helps to minimize the risk of scar tissue formation and supports faster healing. It's important to note that titanium pieces with a PVD coating are recommended only for fully healed piercings per the Association of Professional Piercings.

    5. THREADLESS FOR SAFETY + SECURITY
    We exclusively offer threadless, push-pin style flat back earrings and studs (often referred to as threadless labrets or push pin tops) to enhance safety and accessibility. Unlike threaded or screw-back options, these do not easily come unscrewed.

    6. QUALITY ASSURANCE
    We refrain from selling externally threaded studs or earrings due to lower quality standards; the screw threads can potentially irritate and damage piercings by creating micro tears in the skin. Every piece of Grayling jewelry undergoes thorough quality inspection before it is shipped from our studio, so rest assured, your tissue will never be damaged by our G123 Titanium and 14K Gold flat back earrings.

    7. U.S.-BASED SMALL BUSINESS
    Grayling is a woman-owned jewelry business. All Grayling Jewelry packages ship from our studio in Portland, Oregon, every day of the year, ensuring prompt delivery.

    8. ONE-YEAR WARRANTY
    We emphasize quality and safety in every aspect of our business to ensure you receive the best jewelry possible.

    9. COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
    We take pride in our customer service and stand solidly behind our products. When we guarantee your satisfaction, we mean it. Rest assured, our support team is here if you ever need anything.
