Gold Butterfly Eyebrow Barbell

The gold butterfly eyebrow ring is the most romantic way to dress a healed brow: a tiny butterfly of marquise-cut clear CZ set in warm yellow gold above the brow, and a plain 3 mm polished ball below. Gold frames the clear stones like a little piece of fine jewellery, turning delicate eyebrow piercing jewelry into the detail people notice first.

Underneath the colour is the same ASTM F136 titanium (G23) as our silver-tone version, finished with gold PVD: nickel-free, light, and never gold-plated brass. You get the glow of gold around the sparkle, on a base designed for piercings. Prefer a cooler, quieter setting, or a bar for sensitive skin? See the titanium butterfly eyebrow ring, or browse our eyebrow piercing collection.

It's made for a healed piercing. The slim 16G (1.2 mm) curved bar keeps the butterfly on top; the ball comes off to slide the bar in, and back on to close. Once healed, the same curved barbell butterfly also suits a vertical labret, a snug or a rook — and if a rook is your plan with a plainer look, we also make a dedicated titanium rook barbell.

Choosing between 6 and 8 mm

6 mm sets the gold butterfly close against a shallow healed piercing, so it looks like it's resting on the brow. 8 mm is the more common healed fit and gives a deeper piercing a little room. The easiest way to choose: measure the curved bar you wear now, between its ends. Our gauge and size guide walks you through it.

Gold butterfly eyebrow ring: your questions

• Can I wear it right after piercing? Better not: your first jewellery is fitted by your piercer, and a gold-finish bar with stones is best kept for a healed piercing. Heal in plain titanium, then switch.
• How does gold change the look of the stones? The warm setting makes the clear CZ look brighter and a touch more precious, a bit like a fine gold pendant in miniature.
• Will the gold colour last? PVD is bonded to the titanium rather than painted on. Clean it with saline and skip abrasive products or metal polishes to keep the glow.
