Keep your piercing style simple and versatile with this 16 Gauge Surgical Steel Bendable Hoop Ring. Made from polished 316L surgical steel, it is available in three inside diameters—8mm, 10mm and 12mm—for a choice of fits and placements.

✨ Why You’ll Love It

Three Hoop Sizes: Choose from an 8mm, 10mm or 12mm inside diameter to suit your piercing placement, anatomy and preferred fit.

Versatile Bendable Design: The simple rounded ends create a clean, seamless-looking finish suitable for a range of nose, ear and facial piercings.

Durable Surgical Steel: Made entirely from 316L surgical steel for a strong, easy-care piece designed for regular wear in fully healed piercings.

💎 The Detail

Simple and understated, this silver-toned bendable hoop is an adaptable addition to your jewellery collection. Its plain design works beautifully on its own or alongside crystal and decorative pieces without making your piercing stack feel overcrowded.

Choose from an 8mm, 10mm or 12mm inside diameter. The correct size will depend on your anatomy, piercing depth and preferred fit, so compare the measurements with a hoop that already fits comfortably before ordering.

To insert the ring, gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions rather than pulling them directly apart. Once inserted, carefully return the ends to their original alignment. Avoid excessive or repeated bending, as this can gradually weaken or distort the hoop.

This 16G ring is intended for fully healed piercings. Surgical steel contains nickel, so ASTM F136 titanium may be a better option if you have a known nickel sensitivity.

QUICK SIZING GUIDE
Quick Size Check

These are the measurements for this piece of jewellery. If this product has multiple sizes, the guide will use your selected size where available. Compare with jewellery that already fits you comfortably if you're unsure.

Gauge / Thickness 16G (1.2MM) The thickness of the jewellery that passes through your piercing.
Internal Diameter 8MM - 12MM The measurement across the inside of the hoop or ring.
💡 Sizing Tip Gauge numbers work in reverse — the lower the gauge number, the thicker the jewellery.
Piercing sizes aren't one-size-fits-all. These recommendations describe common uses for healed piercings and are not a guarantee of fit. Always consider the jewellery design, your piercing placement and your individual anatomy. New or healing piercings should be sized by a professional piercer.
