Rhodolite Heart Labret Ear Stud

Sold singly.

This labret is part of our Valentine’s Day collection made from a parcel of brilliant Tanzanian rhodolite hearts, specially sourced in-person.The rhodolites have a raspberry pink to purplish-red maroon hue depending on the lighting. Its color is unique and unlike rubies or pink sapphires. Heart gemstones of this small and subtle size don’t come by often because of how difficult it is to cut them. 

Fun facts: Rhodolite is one of January's birthstones. It gets its name from the Greek word rhodon, meaning "rose", thanks to its stunning color.

Wearing Instructions.

Labrets are delicate, please handle with care. Mishandled labrets will not be accepted for returns.

Insert the back labret from the back first. Screw on the front stud after. Tigten it snug.

Do not apply any force or nudge the screw-on needle as it is 0.75mm thin. Mishandling of the screw will cause a misalignment with the back post, which cannot be fixed.

Before Purchasing

Refer to the image that explains the suitability of our labrets.

Labrets are best suited for piercings you do not intend to switch out often. Not suited for stretched piercings or curved piercings - like rook, daith, anti-tragus and sometimes forward helix.
