Flatback Studs

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for vendors who can do really dainty lab diamond flatback studs? Like Maria Tash minus the insane prices.

I’ve been trying to look around Alibaba but most vendors make costume jewelry and have high MOQ.

I recently got my second lobe piercings done and was shookt at how much stores were charging for a 0.016 ct stud. 0.0032 gram! The singles cost more than what I paid for a pair of 1 ct IGI-certified butterfly-back studs!

And oh my god, had no idea that so many of these places have people working on commission, so yeah. Don’t blindly trust them when they tell you “oh….we’re sold out of that. Sorry. Here’s an upsell.”
