Description
This is a dainty three-bead cluster jewelry end designed for body piercings (helix, tragus, conch, or nostril). It features three small round-cut red stones (likely rubies or garnets) set in a triangular 'trinity' cluster. This is an 'end' only, meaning it requires a compatible threadless or internally threaded post to be worn.
Key Features
Popular 'Trinity' or 'Cluster' design; high-quality bezel settings; compatible with high-end body jewelry systems like Neometal; compact size ideal for curated ear stylings.
Authenticity Indicators
Precision of the bezel settings and the small size suggest a reputable body jewelry manufacturer rather than 'mall kiosk' quality. Confidence: Medium.
Flaws to Note
Minor micro-scratches on the metal surface; missing the post/labret backing; requires ultrasonic cleaning and autoclave sterilization.

Selling Tips
