What’s trending and what’s hot this week?
📈 Flatback earrings are having a moment — searches have jumped 65% in the past year, and they’re now pulling in over 126,000 searches a month according to Glimpse.

So why the sudden spike?
Here’s what’s likely driving it:
People are ditching traditional studs for more comfortable, “sleeper-friendly” jewellery
TikTok and YouTube reviews
Rising interest in hypoallergenic jewellery, minimalist piercings, and more curated ear stacks (especially among Gen Z)
How Digital PRs can jump on it:
🎯 Beauty clients? Offer expert comment on the benefits (or limitations) of flatbacks — think aftercare, safety, and materials.
🎯 Ecommerce brands? Share internal data on purchase trends, returns, or how flatbacks compare to classic studs.
🎯 Fashion or lifestyle? Run a roundup of “the most-searched jewellery terms this year” with flatbacks leading the charge.
🎯 Medical or wellness adjacent? A piercing expert could talk about skin sensitivity, metals, or healing time — TikTok-friendly but science-backed.
