Available in a range of colourful finishes, this 16 Gauge Acrylic Glitterball Circular Horseshoe Barbell combines a flexible acrylic horseshoe with sparkling 4mm glitterball ends.

✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Sparkling Glitterball Ends: Colourful 4mm glitterball ends add a fun, light-catching finish that makes this horseshoe stand out from a classic metal circular barbell.
✔ Flexible Acrylic Construction: The lightweight acrylic horseshoe offers a softer, more flexible alternative to traditional metal jewellery for compatible, fully healed piercings.
✔ Versatile Horseshoe Style: The classic 16 gauge circular barbell shape can suit a range of compatible placements including septum, eyebrow, helix and selected lip piercings depending on your anatomy.
💎 The Detail

Available in a range of colours, this 16 gauge (1.2mm) horseshoe features a 10mm wearable size with matching 4mm acrylic glitterball ends and externally threaded construction. Designed for compatible, fully healed piercings, always choose your jewellery according to your existing gauge, size and individual anatomy.

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
Wear your jewellery thoughtfully and avoid unnecessary exposure to moisture, beauty products and harsh chemicals.
After contact with sweat, seawater or chlorinated water, rinse your jewellery with clean water and dry it thoroughly using a soft cloth.
Clean gently using warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth before wearing or storing.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners and other harsh chemicals.
Store your jewellery somewhere clean and dry, ideally separately from other pieces to prevent scratches or tangling. The pouch provided with your order is perfect for keeping it protected.
Jewellery care is different from piercing aftercare. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, speak to a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.

"Bought this to use while having an MRI scan and it's that cute, I've kept it in!"
"I’ve bought 3 off these now, one for my helix and 2 for my lobes, so much easier to put in and take out, love the flexibility and the colours are great. Also good for sensitive ears and I can sleep in them fine."
