A Wholesale Ordering Checklist for Titanium Flat Back Studs
Share
A flat back stud with the right-looking top can still be the wrong stock item: the gauge or post length may differ. Use a separate order line for every SKU, then use that same line to check the delivery. The example below shows why a product name alone is not enough.
For measurement definitions and general sizing education, use our existing Flat Back Earring Size Guide. The steps below explain how to transfer those specifications into a clear procurement record.
Give every requested variant its own line
Record the product name and SKU, then the gauge, wearable post length, decorative top size, color or finish, and connection type. Do not combine several post lengths into a single line labeled “mixed sizes” unless the exact quantities for each variant are also written down.
| Record | Check before ordering |
|---|---|
| SKU and variant | Copy the selected option, not only the collection name. |
| Gauge | Keep it separate from post length and top size. |
| Wearable post length | Use the stated product measurement, not an estimate from an image. |
| Top dimensions | Confirm whether the listing gives a diameter or another dimension. |
| Color and finish | Distinguish stone color from the metal finish. |
| Connection type | Use explicit product information. Ask before ordering if it is absent. |
| Quantity | Count pieces; do not assume a listing is for a pair. |
Keep complete studs and replacement components separate
Before purchasing a top or post as a replacement, establish what the listing includes and whether the components are compatible. A matching gauge alone does not confirm that a top will fit a post. If the required connection information is missing, leave that line unresolved until the supplier clarifies it.
For AIDD products, review the individual listing rather than assuming every flat back stud uses the same connection. Do not apply the specification of one design to the rest of a collection.
One design, four different stock items
The AIDD CZ flat back stud has four listed combinations, each with a 4mm CZ top. Its options were checked on September 28, 2026:
- AIDD-FBS-018-01: 16G, 6mm post, 4mm CZ.
- AIDD-FBS-018-02: 16G, 8mm post, 4mm CZ.
- AIDD-FBS-018-03: 18G, 6mm post, 4mm CZ.
- AIDD-FBS-018-04: 18G, 8mm post, 4mm CZ.
An instruction such as “12 CZ studs in mixed sizes” leaves the supplier or buyer to guess the split. If you need six of the first option and six of the second, write:
AIDD-FBS-018-01 — 6 pieces
AIDD-FBS-018-02 — 6 pieces
This illustrates an unambiguous order, not a recommended size mix. Choose quantities from your own stock counts and customer demand. The 4mm figure describes the decorative CZ, not the wearable post length.
Review the cart line by line
- Match each cart line to the SKU and option on your purchase record.
- Verify the quantity and current per-piece price.
- Check that a color change has not left the wrong length selected.
- Confirm the merchandise subtotal after discounts.
- Review delivery and return terms before checkout.

Use the same record when goods arrive
Match the received labels and piece counts to the order. Record any visible difference in color, shape, or specification and keep the affected items separate while you ask the supplier to resolve it. Follow the return conditions before opening sealed packaging for further examination.
If the label, selected option and visible item disagree, keep the affected stock separate and send the order number, SKU and photos to the supplier. Do not relabel an uncertain size to make it match your purchase sheet. Individual fit still requires an assessment by a qualified piercer.
A repeat-order check
For every restock, compare the current listing with the saved SKU record. If a specification or connection has changed, clarify it before substituting the new item. Keeping a short record of the clarification is more reliable than relying on memory or a product thumbnail.
Compare flat back stud options and build a variant-level order list before adding quantities.
