Handmade Sterling Silver Synthetic Opal Plugs | Vibrant Gauges, Ear Stretching Jewelry

$106.40+ $133.00+




Handmade Sterling Silver & Synthetic Opal Plugs

Bring a brilliant, iridescent flash of color to your stretched ears with these stunning synthetic opal plugs. Synthetic opal is a fantastic alternative to natural opal—it is incredibly durable and provides a consistent, vibrant play-of-color that catches the light beautifully from every angle.

The opal inlay sits completely flush with the sterling silver front faces for a seamless, snag-free finish. These gauges are crafted with a slight flare and a small center groove that is custom-fit to your exact gauge size, ensuring a highly secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear. To give them a sleek, high-quality weight and finish, the back faces are completely capped in solid silver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing details

Feel free to request slight changes to width/diameter of plugs/gauges. I happily adjust, but going a size up will have an additional cost.

Do you make size 8g plugs/gauges?

Yes! I definitely could make 8g size plugs! The hole in the silver face will be pretty small, so it won't always look perfect with certain options. The best options would be the ebony options, the crushed stone options and synthetic opal. They will have a different look to them, so feel free to request some photo examples and/or a custom order.

Do you offer expedited processing/shipping?

Most of the time, YES! But please ask ahead and don't assume that I can get it to you quicker. I make every item to order and by hand. Sometimes I have all the materials needed to crank out a piece with high priority. So feel free to ask, but know that I usually charge a tiny bit extra to rush the making process. And feel free to request expedited shipping. It will be an extra charge for whatever shipping option you choose, but I would be happy to make it happen.

Do you offer sizes in metric/millimeters?

Absolutely. All my pieces are made to order for you, the customer. If you're looking for your size in millimeters instead of gauge sizes or fractions of an inch, I am happy to make it custom for you. Please reach out by message if you're looking for any specific size, even up to 1/10th of a mm.

Absolutely stunning, more beautiful than in the picture.


My wife absolutely loves them. They are well crafted and gorgeous. She got compliments on her first day wearing them.
