💎 The Detail
Sleek, sparkling and easy to style, this Crystal Hinged Nose Ring gives the classic nostril hoop a refined jewellery-inspired finish. The slim row of cubic zirconia creates just enough sparkle for everyday wear while maintaining a clean, minimal silhouette.
Choose from a snug 6mm or more versatile 8mm diameter, both in an 18 Gauge thickness. Designed for compatible nostril piercings, the correct hoop diameter 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.
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
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.
