These pieces are a push pin style of stud (thread-less). Push pin tops are held in the post by tension. A slight bend/arch of the pin creates pressure holding the gem top in the post. I personally bend each pin per order to a desired amount of tension for most clients. The pin is extremely secure and needs to be arched enough to keep it in place, but not so much that it is hard to insert or open the stud. If you find the pin to be too firm for your desired tension level slightly straighten the pin with small jewelry pliers or the edge of the post as a leverage point. If you open and close the pieces a lot before insertion (or take the piece in and out of your piercing frequently) you might have to slightly re-bend/arch the pin because pushing the pin in and out repeatedly will start to straighten the pin. If the pin is straight it will just slide in and out and not stay in the post. If the pin is over bent or has a kinked bend the pin will be very difficult to impossible to insert but remember you can just straighten it back out with small pliers then re-bend the slight arch at the center of the pin for insertion.
To bend the pin to your tension small jewelry pliers work best for most clients or the post itself can be used as a leverage point to make slight adjustments. To make slight adjustments using the post insert the pin about halfway in the post and use the edge of the post as a leverage point to slightly arch or straighten the pin to the desired tension. In the case of 20g posts, be careful not to use too much force or you could bend the post if using it as a leverage point.
If you are having problems holding the gem top to pull it out of the post (usually for the micro gem top sizes) latex gloves are the answer. Professional piercing artist wear them not only for sterility but for proper grip. The body produces natural oils on the hands and piercing area which make metal slippery. For push pins latex gloves give you the grip you need to simply pull the pin out of the post, for threaded jewelry it is the only way to fully tighten down/secure a gem top.

Have questions on gauge. length or gem top sizing? There is a lot of helpful information below. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to message!

Helpful Information on Length, Gauge and Gem Top Sizing ~ The length of a piercing is anatomy dependent. Most nostril, tragus, helix and other cartilage piercings are initially performed in a 5/16" (8mm) or 3/8" (10mm) length to accommodate for swelling and proper cleaning. Some clients will need longer initial posts if there anatomy or piercing location requires a longer length. Most oral area (lip, medusa, monroe, snake bites, etc.) piercings are initially performed in 5/16" (8mm) through 9/16" (14mm) length. Initial piercing jewelry should not be changed out for 6-8 weeks of successful healing. Your body needs a little wiggle room initially for the release of healing fluids after a initial piercing. Piercings take a full year to completely heal and a "tweener" length is usually necessary between initial post length and healed length. After the healing process is complete clients piercings can range from 5/32" (4mm length..extremely extremely short and only meant for a small hand full of clients) and go up to around a 1/2" (12mm) for most piercings. Most healed nostril, helix and cartilage piercings tend to fall between a 3/16" (5mm) and 5/16" (8mm), more oral area piercings tend to fall between 1/4" (6mm) and 1/2" (12mm). The only way to determine your proper length is by measuring the wearable area of a proper fitting post or having a professional piercing artist measure your piercings for length. Please remember if measuring at home that you are measuring for the "wearable area" of the post only (excluding the back disc or any top...never the overall length of the post because discs and gem tops come in a wide range of sizes). The little dashes beside a inch on a ruler are millimeters, if you happen to have digital calipers at home it is the best way to accurately measure.
A proper fitting post will have a slight bit of wiggle room to accommodate for the slight but constant flux of your body even after the healing process is complete (if you think about having a ring on your finger and how the fit changes throughout the day and also with extreme cold/heat..your piercing will also flux slightly up and down, but not quite as sever as an outer appendage). The post should be long enough so the gem or back disc does not seat into the piercing (this will lead to irritation and eventually infection) and should be short enough that it does not stick out causing torque on the piercing and increasing the chance of it getting caught on something. When it comes to body jewelry everything is based off precise measurement for the health and safety of the piercing.

When it comes to Gauge~ Most Cartilage, Nostril, Tragus and Helix piercing performed in a Tattoo shops are usually 18g (1mm) or 16g (1.2mm). With the invention of thread-less 20g jewelry (because it is internal) some Tattoo shops are now performing nostril and cartilage piercings initially in a 20g. Aftermarket nose screws purchased from non-professionals retailers (Mall piercings, Clare's, big box stores, hot topic) are market as a 20g but are usually not accurate and are a slightly finer gauge (22g-ish). If you do not know your gauge it would be best for you to double check your jewelry at home with digital calipers/ruler or have a professional measure. If you still have your initial piercing jewelry in you can call your piercing artist and ask them what gauge they perform there cartilage piercings (most shops stick to one gauge unless the client requests a different gauge). Some helpful tips~ An 18g is 1 mm or just slightly bigger than a 20g (.8mm). 18g is the smallest internally threaded gauge, push pin style studs start at a 20g (.8mm). 20g internal body jewelry is usually only produced in push pin styles because the posts are too fine to support threading. If you currently have a internally threaded post your jewelry will most likely be a 18g (1mm) or a 16g (1.2mm) with the current trends in piercings. If there happens to be a 4mm back disc on the post you currently wear it is most likely a 16g (18g post usually have 2.5mm back discs, some 16g posts have 2.5mm back discs). If a "normal" earring fit perfectly with no play or an aftermarket nose screw or bone (nose bones are a big no no and should never be used in any piercing) you are most likely a 20g. If your aftermarket jewelry is wire thin you might be a 22g or lower.
When it comes to Gem Top Selection ~ If you look up a bead or gauge chart (it will look like a bunch of black dots on a page graduating up in size) in a Google image search it will give you a really good idea of the size of the top gems. Gem tops are always measured by there total diameter from the furthest points out including the setting, not by the size of the gem in the setting. I have had clients print them and cut them out and stick they to there piercings to get a visual size reference. Sometimes this is tricky because they do not always come up or print out the correct size, but you can double check the printed dots with a ruler. In the world of body jewelry gem tops start at about 1.5mm and go up to a 6mm. The 1.5mm micro gem top is silly tiny and just bigger than the diameter of the post itself. To determine the size of your current gem top you can measure it at home with digital calipers or for a rough measurement the little dash on the opposite side of the inch on a ruler are millimeters, but not usually amazing precise on american/standard rulers.
With a little homework you will be able to determine your measurements. If your piercing is healed they will be numbers you will need to know for life. They will not change barring any excessive weight gain/ loss or piercing damage or unless you insert a smaller gauge post (the body is designed to heal and will quickly adapt down to a smaller the gauge if inserted). I tell clients to keep there measurements in there phones, its a lot of weird numbers to only have to remember on occasion.
