Handmade Sterling Silver & Malachite Plugs
Bring a vibrant, earthy elegance to your stretched ears with these striking malachite plugs. Known for its rich, hypnotic green banding and deep emerald hues, genuine malachite sits completely flush with the sterling silver front faces. This creates a beautiful, high-contrast look between the natural organic greens and the polished metal.
These custom stone-inlaid 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, premium finish from every angle, 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 1,000% one of the best pair of earrings/custom plugs I have. Made with intention, quality, and the true malachite was exactly what I was looking for. Will be asking for more custom gold plated 00 gauge plugs from you again! Thank you!!!

This is my third time purchasing multiple sets of plugs from Cole. I love all the stone/color options and that they are all well made and have lasted years so far.
