Threadless Jewelry Explained

Threadless ends pin into a post with tension — no screwing through a fresh fistula during downsizing.

— Katelyn Cole, master piercer, Work of Art Las Vegas

Why I love threadless for downsizing

  • Swap decorative ends without twisting the post inside the channel.
  • Fewer threads means fewer bacteria traps on labret and cartilage posts.

How it works

  • Post has a slight bend; end pins in with hand pressure — I adjust tension in-studio.
  • Comes in implant-grade titanium and gold from premium makers.
