This barbell is designed to be used in ear piercings. It suits better in certain points of the ear - for example, it will fit in the earlobe or the helix, but because of the end ball, it won't be a good fit for the tragus piercing. 

The barbell is made of titanium, which is nickel-free. Therefore, you can use it in a new piercing as a first-time piece, and you can also use it if you suffer from nickel allergy. 

The bar has a length of 1/4" (6 mm), and the end ball at the back is 1/8" (3 mm). The barbell features a clear shiny stone in the front, available in two sizes: 1/8" (3 mm) or 5/32" (4 mm). The stone is held securely in place by four tiny prongs.
