✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Crystal Heart Design: A sculpted heart-shaped silhouette is lined along one curve with sparkling cubic zirconia for a romantic design with a contemporary edge.
✔ Waterproof & Tarnish Resistant: Designed to handle water, sweat and everyday wear while maintaining its polished finish, making it a practical, low-maintenance jewellery choice.
✔ Easy Hinged Closure: The hinged segment opens and closes without a separate ball or removable piece, making jewellery changes quick and straightforward.
💎 The Detail
Romantic, polished and a little different from a traditional round hoop, this Crystal Heart Hinged Hoop Ring combines a sleek heart silhouette with an asymmetrical row of pavé-set crystals. Leaving one side polished creates a striking contrast against the sparkling crystal curve and keeps the design clean rather than overly decorative.
Available in 8mm or 10mm diameters, it’s an eye-catching choice for adding heart-shaped detail to compatible ear and cartilage piercings. The correct diameter and jewellery style will depend on your individual anatomy and piercing placement.
Make changing your jewellery easier
Stainless steel piercing forceps help grip jewellery securely when opening hoops or unscrewing tight posts or ball ends.
These are the measurements for this exact piece of jewellery. Compare them with jewellery that already fits you comfortably if you're unsure.

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
Surgical steel is durable and easy to care for. Keep your jewellery clean and dry thoroughly after exposure to water or sweat.
Surgical steel is suitable for regular wear in healed piercings. Keep the jewellery clean and check that any removable ends remain secure.
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.
