Pretzel Flat Back Stud

Q: What size are the flat back earrings?

Cords Club's Flat Backs are 18 gauge and come with a 6mm long Flat Back post.A 6mm post is a great length for most people, so we'd recommend starting there! We do also have a range of other sizes available and sold separately. If you have questions about sizing, we'd love to help!

Q: Are your flat backs sold individually? Or in pairs?

Both! Grab a single if you’re mixing and matching, or a pair to save 10%

Q: Do I need to buy the flat back applicator, too?

Our Flat Back Applicator is a great tool but it's not necessary! The Flat Back Applicator is designed to help make the process of changing your flat backs faster and easier, but you can definitely change your earrings without one. The choice is totally up to you!

I'm new to flat backs. What is the most important thing for me to know?

The first thing you'll want to learn is how to keep your Flat Backs nice and secure. Just like you'd tie your running shoes to make sure they stay on your feet for a run, you'll need to adjust your Flat Backs to keep them in place, too!

But don't worry! It's an easy peasy process, and we'll help you through the learning curve. <3

my go-to earrings
I am a big pretzel girly, everytime I go to a baseball game, a soft pretzel is in hand along side a soda (I actually got hit by a homerun ball, and couldn’t catch it bc I was holding a pretzel and a soda lmao)
Easy earring to wear, they go with just about everything. I love the size and detail of the pretzel right down to the little salt crystals!!

Hi Carly!
That’s such a fun story — I can totally picture you juggling a pretzel and soda at the ballpark ⚾🥨🥤. I’m so glad the Pretzel Earrings have become your go‑to! The detail down to the little salt crystals makes them extra special, and it’s awesome to hear they’re comfy enough to wear with everything ✨. Thanks for sharing your baseball‑day vibe with us! 🌿

As a baker, I LOVE these
As someone who was a professional baker for a number of years, and still bakes when I have free time, these are perfect! And they truly are hypoallergenic, I've worn them for several weeks at a time with no issues (I do clean the fronts and backs of the piercing with a q-tip after I shower).

Hi Michelle 🌸

We're absolutely dying at "so damn cute I replaced it" — honestly, that might be the best compliment our Pretzel Flat Back Stud could ever get! 💫 The fact that you loved it enough to immediately buy another one when you lost the first speaks volumes about how irresistible this little pretzel really is ✨.

There's something so perfectly charming about that twisted pretzel shape that just makes you smile every time you see it 💖.
