Turn your head and the stone shifts colour: a soft play of fire that stays subtle enough for every day. Wear it as an opal nose stud in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nose-piercing\"\u003enostril\u003c\/a\u003e, or higher up in a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tragus-piercing\"\u003etragus\u003c\/a\u003e, helix, conch or flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opal is \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic, created in a laboratory\u003c\/strong\u003e, not mined, and we would rather say so plainly. Underneath, the post is cut from \u003cstrong\u003eASTM F136 implant-grade titanium (G23)\u003c\/strong\u003e, nickel-free and gentle on sensitive skin, with a polished silver tone that lets the opal do the talking.

The opal top screws into the post from the front (internally threaded), so the thread never passes through the piercing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing your top size and post length\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe post is \u003cstrong\u003e16G (1.2 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e and comes in \u003cstrong\u003e6 or 8 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. The top comes in \u003cstrong\u003e3, 4 or 5 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 mm is a discreet dot for a nostril, 4 mm is the all-rounder, and 5 mm shows off the fire on a tragus or flat. A 6 mm post suits most nostrils and thin cartilage; 8 mm gives more room for thicker cartilage. Your first jewellery is fitted by your piercer, so keep the gauge they chose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhite or purple opal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite opal flashes iridescent white and blue, soft and luminous on any skin tone.
