Steel Saddle Ear Spreaders by-the-pair (ordering a quantity of one gets you a pair) Abalone is a natural material and exact appearance (color, design) will vary. For "spreaders" we normally recommend buying a size smaller than you wear to ensure being able to get them in over the large flare. HOWEVER with this design, almost everyone should be able to buy the size they wear as long as you are accustomed to wearing double flares (you'll need to pass the back teardrop through your piercing and those are almost 1 size larger, much as any normal double flare plug is). If your default choice is a single flare plug/tunnel, you should consider buying a size smaller Select desired size and color from the drop-down menu Material: 316L surgical steel, epoxy over abalone shell How to use Ear Saddle Spreaders ??? --> They can be used like normal tunnels --> Use them as hangers for ear weights, this way they will spread the weight all around the lobe. --> If you want to make the "Drop effect" choose them in smaller sizes EVERYTHING we sell is brand new, never worn.
