The Nina Wynn jewelry guide
Small diamond flat backs for tragus and forward helix
Choose the look of the diamond top, then confirm the fit of the post. This guide separates those decisions with a side-by-side size comparison, shoppable Nina Wynn designs and practical questions to ask before you buy.
A flat-back earring uses a small disc at the back of the post instead of a butterfly backing. The featured designs use a threadless decorative top. The visible diamond setting, the post and the flat disc are different parts, and each has a different measurement.
New or healing piercing? Visit a qualified local piercing studio for jewelry selection and fitting. A styling photograph or size chart cannot determine your anatomy, healing stage or correct post length. In Denver, book now for fitting or jewelry-change help with Nina Wynn.

Compare the diamond and the complete bezel
The Solitaire Bezel is one design with three size options. Small, Medium and Large describe its decorative top, not the post length. The surrounding gold bezel adds to the overall diameter, so check both numbers.
Small
Diamond: 2.0 mm
Complete bezel: 2.5 mm
The smallest round option in this comparison.

Diamond: 2.5 mm
Complete bezel: 3.0 mm
The middle option for comparing visual presence.

Diamond: 3.0 mm
Complete bezel: 3.5 mm
The largest round option shown, not a universal placement recommendation.
View LargeMeasurements are from the current Solitaire Bezel product specifications, checked October 17, 2026. They have not been independently measured for this article. Check the selected product option before ordering.
Carat weight is not a diameter
Carat measures a diamond's weight. Millimeter measurements describe dimensions. For this comparison, begin with the diamond diameter and complete bezel size rather than using carat weight as a substitute for either.
Reference: GIA: diamond carat weight.
Choosing a diamond flat back for your tragus
Start by comparing the outline you prefer: a single round accent or a three-stone cluster. The Solitaire Bezel creates a circular focal point. Trinity adds a triangular arrangement of diamonds.
For a restrained look, compare the Small and Medium Solitaire Bezel options first. Choose the appearance you like, then have a piercer check the complete top, post and clearance for your ear. Neither size is automatically correct for every tragus.
Trinity's product listing gives a 3.5 mm decorative top measurement. That single measurement is not a complete width-by-height-by-depth specification. Ask for the dimensions you need before selecting it for a close-fitting arrangement.

Choosing a diamond flat back for your forward helix
Decide whether you want one accent or a coordinated arrangement across piercings you already have. A single round bezel keeps the composition simple. With multiple piercings, compare each complete setting and the space around it.
Matching sizes create repetition. Different sizes create a graduated look. Treat these as styling choices, not an instruction to add piercings or a guarantee that every combination will fit.
The Solitaire Bezel listing includes forward helix among its potential placements. Your anatomy and existing piercing position still determine whether a particular size and post are suitable. For a new arrangement, plan it with a professional piercer before purchasing several pieces.
Explore the ear-styling guide for arranging diamonds, gemstones and hoops.
Explore forward-helix earringsSmall stones can make a larger earring
A design with several small diamonds may occupy more space than one larger diamond. Compare the complete top width, height and profile, particularly when planning pieces close together.
In the Nina Wynn collection, 3 Scones has a listed 6 mm decorative top, while the Lightning Bolt has a listed 7.5 mm top. They illustrate why a small individual diamond does not automatically make the entire design tiny. They are not included here as universal tragus or forward-helix recommendations.
What comes with your earring
The featured Solitaire Bezel and Trinity earrings are sold individually. Each includes a solid 14K yellow gold decorative top with lab-grown diamond and one 5 mm titanium labret post at no extra cost. A solid 14K gold labret is an optional separate purchase.
The decorative top's pin fits into a compatible threadless post and is held by pin tension. A professional piercer can adjust the pin and check that the parts fit together securely. Do not assume that every brand's top and post are interchangeable.
Titanium may be anodized for a gold-colored appearance. A gold-colored titanium post is still titanium. Product photography showing that finish should not be read as a promise that a solid gold post is included.
Check the post separately from the diamond
The included 5 mm length is not a universal fit recommendation. Confirm your gauge, required wearable length and component compatibility with a piercer. A smaller diamond does not mean that you need a shorter post.
For more detail, read the flat-back post-length and sizing guide. For the difference between closure systems, see threadless versus internally threaded jewelry.

View Trinity: price and detailsLab-grown diamonds, clearly identified
Both featured designs are listed with lab-grown diamonds. Laboratory-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are diamonds; they differ in origin. They should not be grouped with diamond simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite.
Beyond origin, ask for the stone and finished-jewelry information relevant to your purchase. Do not assume that every small diamond earring comes with an individual laboratory grading report. Check the documentation provided for that particular item.
Reference: GIA: natural and laboratory-grown diamonds.
Wearing and caring for your diamond flat backs
For jewelry removed from a fully healed piercing, follow the product's cleaning directions. The featured listings recommend mild soap, water and a soft brush for routine jewelry cleaning. Have a jeweler or piercer check a loose top, damaged pin or setting rather than continuing to wear it.
Cleaning removed jewelry is different from caring for a healing piercing. Follow your piercer's aftercare guidance. Do not rotate healing jewelry or remove it for routine cleaning. Avoid pressure and friction, including sleeping directly on healing cartilage or using earbuds that press against the piercing.
Aftercare reference: Association of Professional Piercers: aftercare.
Before you purchase
Which size is best for a tragus or forward helix?
There is no universal size. Compare the complete top as well as the diamond, then have a qualified piercer confirm that the selected top and post suit your anatomy and piercing. The chart compares product dimensions; it does not select a fit.
Is the post included, and is it solid gold?
The featured earrings include one 5 mm titanium labret post. The decorative top is solid 14K yellow gold. A solid 14K gold post is optional and sold separately.
Can I use a post I already own?
Only when its gauge, length and threadless connection are appropriate and compatible with the selected top. Ask a piercer or our team to help confirm the parts. A shared description such as threadless does not establish universal compatibility.
Are the earrings sold singly or as a pair?
Each featured listing is for one earring. Order two for a pair, checking the size and material options for each.
Can I put these into a new piercing myself?
For a new or healing piercing, visit a qualified local piercing studio for selection and fitting. Do not use the included post length or an illustration to determine initial jewelry.
Can these designs be considered for lobes or other placements?
The Solitaire Bezel listing also includes lobe and helix. The same top-size, post-fit and compatibility checks apply. For a wider overview, visit the main flat-back earrings guide.
Can body jewelry be returned?
Nina Wynn body jewelry and piercing jewelry may be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to the same return terms as other jewelry. Confirm your selection before ordering. Read the shipping, return and warranty policy for full terms and manufacturing-warranty support.
