16 Gauge Crystal Heart Captive Ring
✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Add a romantic touch of sparkle to your piercing with this 16 Gauge Crystal Heart Captive Ring. Featuring a removable 5mm prong-set cubic zirconia heart held securely by the tension of the ring, it’s available in a range of four colours for a playful alternative to a traditional captive bead.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Crystal Heart Centrepiece: The 5mm heart-shaped cubic zirconia creates a sparkling focal point while retaining the classic captive-ring silhouette.
✔ Captive Tension Closure: The decorative heart is held securely between the ends of the ring by tension, with no threaded ball or hinge to manage.
✔ Four Colour Options: Choose from a range of four colours to coordinate the crystal-heart design with the rest of your piercing jewellery.
💎 The Detail
Romantic, sparkling and a little different from a traditional captive bead ring, the crystal heart turns a simple hoop into a more decorative statement piece. Its compact 5mm size adds noticeable sparkle without overwhelming the ring.
This captive ring is 16 gauge (1.2mm) with a 10mm inner diameter, featuring a 316L surgical steel hoop with a detailed brass heart setting and cubic zirconia stone. The removable heart is held in place by the tension of the ring. Sold individually and best suited to compatible, fully healed piercings where the 16G gauge and 10mm diameter suit your anatomy. Because the decorative heart contains brass, keep the jewellery dry and follow the recommended care guidance for plated and brass components.
Make changing your jewellery easier

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.
Avoid knocking, pulling or catching crystal settings on clothing. Clean around decorative details gently and avoid soaking or using abrasive brushes.
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.
