Men's Cross Stud Earrings in Stainless Steel
For the man who owns who he is.
A flat steel cross, small enough for work, clear enough to read.
Atlas stood firm while the sky pressed down. A simple shape can hold its ground too. This cross stud sits flat against the lobe and catches a short line of light when you turn your head. It is stainless steel, polished smooth on every edge, only 0.8mm thick, with no stones and no texture. Choose 6mm or 8mm, in natural steel, black or gold-tone. Sold as a pair.
- Does not rust or turn your skin green
- 6mm or 8mm, just 0.8mm thin
- Post and butterfly back
Details & specs
Made from stainless steel, polished smooth on every edge so nothing snags on a collar or a pillow. The cross is 0.8mm thick, kept flat and simple with no stones and no texture. Stainless steel does not rust, so the stud can stay in through sweat, showers and long days without special care.
Black and gold-tone are applied by vacuum plating; natural steel is the bare metal with a cool gray shine. The post-and-back stud keeps the cross close to the ear instead of hanging off it, with a standard butterfly back. Supplied as a pair, so you can wear both or keep the second in reserve.
How to wear it
A single stud with a white tee and a chain makes an everyday look; the pair gives symmetry. Black sits well with dark outerwear and a suit, and gold-tone pairs naturally with a gold chain, ring or watch. Small enough for the office, meetings and travel, it can stay in from the first coffee to the last train home.
Choosing your size
Two sizes: 6mm and 8mm. Choose 6mm if you want the cross to read as a quiet accent that barely leaves the lobe, and 8mm if you want the shape recognizable from a step or two away. Both use the same standard post and butterfly back, so they fit a normal healed piercing. As a gift, 8mm is the safer pick.

Questions
Can the flat cross studs stay in for training and the beach?
Yes. Stainless steel does not rust, so sweat, showers and the sea are fine. Rinse off soap and salt now and then to keep the vacuum-plated black and gold-tone even.
Is it too small for a man?
It is meant to be understated. 8mm is the better pick if you want the cross clearly visible; 6mm stays close to the lobe.
Do I get one or two?
Two. They come as a pair, so you can wear both or keep one as a spare.
What is vacuum plating?
A process that bonds the color to the steel inside a vacuum chamber for an even finish. It is used for the black and gold-tone versions.
Can I sleep with them in?
Yes. The cross is only 0.8mm thick with smooth edges, so it sits flush and does not catch on a pillow.
Can I wear them in a new piercing?
Wait until it is fully healed. They use a standard post and butterfly back made for a normal healed piercing.
What color is natural steel?
A cool gray shine. It is the bare stainless steel, with no plating.
Can I return earrings?
Yes, within 30 days of receiving them, as long as they are unworn and in their original Atlas packaging. Return shipping is at your cost.
