18 Gauge Implant Grade Titanium Bendable Hoop Ring
✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Keep your piercing simple with this 18 Gauge Implant Grade Titanium Bendable Hoop Ring. Made entirely from ASTM F136 titanium with a polished silver finish, this minimalist ring is available in three hoop diameters to suit different piercings and fits.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ ASTM F136 Implant Grade Titanium: Lightweight, highly corrosion resistant and an excellent option for customers who prefer high-quality titanium jewellery.
✓ Three Hoop Diameters: Choose from a close-fitting 6mm, versatile 8mm or roomier 12mm diameter to suit your piercing placement and anatomy.
✓ Simple Bendable Closure: The ring twists open and closed without a hinge, ball or separate fastening, creating a clean and uninterrupted circular finish.
💎 The Detail
Minimalist and easy to coordinate, this polished titanium hoop is ideal for creating a simple everyday look or adding a plain ring to a more detailed curated ear. Its lightweight construction makes it a versatile alternative to a heavier surgical-steel hoop.
To open the ring, gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions rather than pulling them apart. Reverse the movement to close it, carefully realigning the ends for a neat and comfortable finish.
Choose the diameter according to your anatomy and desired fit. The 6mm option creates a particularly close fit, 8mm provides a little more room and 12mm offers the most generous diameter. Repeated bending can gradually weaken or distort the ring, so only open it as far as necessary.
