Questions
Why start with the titanium colorway if my ears are sensitive?
It's ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium, mirror-polished and left bare — no plating, no coating, nothing on the surface but the metal itself. Every part is titanium, from the front to the post, pin and 3mm flat disc. If plated jewelry has bothered you before, this is the place to start.
Is G23 the same as ASTM F136?
Same alloy, two names. G23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) is the alloy grade; ASTM F136 is the implant-grade specification that alloy is made to.
Titanium or surgical steel?

Can you sleep and shower in titanium earrings?

Which post length should I choose?
Air⁵ styles sit on a 5mm post for thinner lobes; Nova and Bloom on the standard 6mm. 5mm vs 6mm vs 8mm →
