Expander Acrylic

Expander/stretching rod piercings and spikes are both jewelry and stretchers in one. A spike ends in a narrow piece but is long and is pushed through the earlobe. Spikes are also called expanders or stretching rods because they allow you to gently enlarge the earlobe by simply starting further back and pushing the expander/stretching rod piercings and spikes forward, where they become wider. They are also available in various sizes and interesting designs.

Fashionable expander spike stretching rods

Especially with smaller ear piercings, expanders/stretching rods and spikes are more noticeable than small plugs and tunnels. Two rubber rings, attached in front and behind the ear, guarantee a secure hold, preventing the stretching rod from slipping. Animal print designs are very popular with us, whether zebra or leopard – we offer a variety. Expanders/stretching rods and spikes in neon colors or with stars or skulls are also well-received. For those who prefer a sparkly look, we also offer expanders with faceted glass crystals that refract the light, creating a beautiful shimmer. Acrylic expanders have a pleasantly smooth surface and offer the advantage of numerous pattern possibilities that are simply not achievable with hand-painted or hand-carved designs. From the front, a spike looks like a plug, while from the side, it appears more like a tapered rod inserted in the ear. Both styles have their own appeal. Once you've reached a certain size, you can order your favorite expander in a larger size and continue. Our plugs, tunnels, spirals , and other expanders, which you can find in our range made of stainless steel, sterling silver, acrylic, wood, horn, bone, bronze, and brass, will then fit perfectly into these gently stretched ear piercings. Simply browse our Organic Piercing categories for more options. You'll find a wide selection of colorful, comfortable expanders/stretching rods and spikes here.
