16 Gauge Hypoallergenic Double Crystal Hinged Hoop
✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Available in silver or gold, this 16 Gauge Double Crystal Hinged Hoop is crafted from durable 316L surgical steel with a choice of 8mm or 10mm inner diameters. Two sparkling rows of cubic zirconia create a bold light-catching finish, combining extra crystal detail with a sleek hinged closure for effortless everyday styling.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Double Crystal Row Design: Two sparkling rows of cubic zirconia run across the front of the hoop, creating extra brilliance and a more statement finish than a classic single-row crystal ring.
✔ Easy Hinged Closure: The built-in hinged mechanism opens and clicks securely back into place, eliminating separate balls or removable pieces and creating a smooth, streamlined construction.
✔ Two Hoop Sizes: Choose from 8mm or 10mm inner diameters to suit different piercing placements, styling preferences and individual anatomy.
💎 The Detail
Sparkling, sleek and effortlessly versatile, this Double Crystal Hinged Hoop adds plenty of light-catching detail while keeping the overall design clean and easy to style. The twin rows of clear cubic zirconia create a fuller crystal effect, making it an eye-catching choice worn alone or layered within a more detailed piercing stack.
Available in silver or gold with a choice of 8mm or 10mm inner diameters, this 16 gauge (1.2mm) hinged hoop is crafted from 316L surgical steel. It can be styled in compatible helix, tragus, conch, daith, lobe, septum and lip piercings. The correct hoop diameter and jewellery style will depend on your individual anatomy and piercing placement.

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
This piece has a PVD finish. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perfume, lotions and other chemicals to help preserve its appearance.
Put your jewellery on after applying perfume, moisturiser, hairspray or other beauty products. Avoid unnecessary friction and prolonged exposure to moisture.
Chlorine, seawater, sweat, perfume and household chemicals can gradually affect coated or plated finishes. Remove your jewellery before swimming and dry it promptly if it becomes wet.
Clean carefully with a soft cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid polishing compounds, abrasive products and harsh chemical cleaners.
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.
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
Apply perfume, moisturiser and hairspray before putting on your jewellery. Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing treatments and prolonged exposure to chlorine or seawater.
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.
