✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Six Colourful Finishes: Choose from Rainbow, Purple, Black, Gold, Rose Gold or Green.
✓ Flexible Bendable Closure: The annealed steel construction allows the hoop to twist open and closed without a hinge, ball or separate fastening.
✓ Versatile 10mm Hoop: Its simple circular shape can complement a range of cartilage, septum and lip piercings where the gauge and diameter are suitable.
💎 The Detail
Simple, colourful and easy to coordinate, this bendable hoop is a versatile alternative to a traditional silver ring. The polished PVD finish adds a vibrant metallic colour while the plain design makes it easy to combine with crystal, opal or minimalist jewellery.
The ring measures 16G (1.2mm) with a 10mm hoop diameter. To open it, gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions rather than pulling them apart. Reverse the movement to close the hoop and align the ends carefully.
Repeated bending can gradually weaken or distort an annealed ring, so only open it as far as necessary. To help preserve the PVD colour, avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes and beauty products, and store the ring separately when it is not being worn.
Sold individually.

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.
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.
