Daith earrings should be implant-grade titanium, solid gold, or niobium. The placement is deep in cartilage, healing is slow, and the metal choice affects the outcome significantly.
Industry Insight
A straight baguette's sides are parallel and equal in width end to end; a tapered baguette's sides converge toward one end, a dimensional difference that becomes necessary when the stones must follow the geometry of a round or cushion center without gaps or misalignment.
The Perfect Fit
Flat back post lengths are sized to the tissue depth of the intended placement: shorter for lobes, longer for cartilage, and the difference matters, because the wrong length puts either pressure on the tissue or a loose disc that doesn't sit correctly.
