Stone Double-Flared Plugs
Here are our latest acquisitions of stone jewelry. These plugs rock!
Technically, most shown here are minerals, whereas some, such as lapis, tiger's iron, and unakite,
consist of several different types of minerals and are thus considered to be rocks instead.
Green and black jade plugs with 'reverse taper' style flares.
Solid plumeria shapes, and hollow lotus, sunflower, and tibet shapes are available, in 00ga through 7/8".
The measurement is in the center of the taper, and the back flare is 1/16" larger than that.
However, it is likely the lobe will slip towards the front, smallest side of the taper, which is smaller than the listed measurement (by around 1/32" on average). This effectively makes these have larger flares than normal, and may cause some shrinkage. One option is to wear an o-ring up against the front flare to prevent slipping up to the smallest side of the taper (click here for an image of these plugs mounted with o-rings). These would be most suitable if a wearer is well-healed at a particular size and has some flexibility. The carving and polish on these are phenomenal, at a price that cannot be beat. You just can't find plugs of this caliber on the market today!
We would like to sell all of these at one time to one person/company/wholesaler/shop.
There are around 45 pairs total. Please give a call if these might be of interest as a whole.
We are willing to sell them as individual pairs as well... Non-bulk wholesale prices for pairs are:
00ga-$30, 7/16"-$40, 1/2"-$45, 9/16"-$50, 5/8"-$55, 3/4"-$65, 7/8"-$70/pair.
We had some ex-taper flares re-carved to have normal saddle shaped back flares as shown above.
Pricing was as follows, which were $5/more per pair:
0ga-$30/pair, 00ga-$35/pair, and 1/2"-$50/pair.
All have currently SOLD. We do plan to have a few more pairs in these sizes carved down.

hollow Siberian green jade cylinders. $40/pair. Color a bit oversaturated in this image.
We have a bunch of inexpensive semi-precious stone talons, cylinders, rods, and saddles. Many were intended for beads and thus some shapes have tiny holes running through them, but their shape, finish, and material are perfect for stretched piercings and they have been carefully selected accordingly. No custom orders are possible in these cheaper stone options, and these are available in the listed sizes only. Most are in pairs, though almost all can also be sold as singles. The stones may not be not right on a specific gauge measurement, as many are made in millimeters, but approximate gauge sizes have been listed.
See the wholesale page for information on quantity discounts.

Note: Some stones may be manmade or treated.
These include, but are not limited to: hematite (possibly manmade, aka hemalyke); agate and jade (just a few are dyed, as indicated); carnelian (possibly heat treated); citrine (probably heat treated); quartz (possibly lab grown); onyx (dyed); turquoise (may be stabilized with wax or resin, or dyed); and goldstone (manmade, copper in glass). Also, shells can by heat-treated, irradiated, bleached, or dyed.
Many stones consist of minerals that naturally include metals such as copper, iron, or aluminum.
Obsidian is volcanic glass that is usually black; thin sections are often translucent grey. It can have an very subtle greenish tint, but generally does not. Mahogany obsidian has a brown and black spotted appearance. Snowflake obsidian is black with grey spots. There are gold sheen, silver sheen, and rainbow sheen obsidians, which exhibit chatoyancy in these colors at certain angles of light.
Obsidian is never blue, transparent gold, or whitish opalescent colored.
Opals contain water and can develop crazing (a network of tiny surface fractures)
if they become too dry or are exposed to intense light or heat.
Some stones, such as amethyst, may fade in sunlight.
