✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Add texture and sparkle to your piercing with this silver crystal-lined hinged hoop. Crafted from polished 316L surgical steel, it pairs a sculpted twist-inspired design with a neat row of clear cubic zirconia crystals for a more distinctive take on the classic cartilage ring.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✔ Crystal-Lined Twist Design: Sculpted metal detailing and sparkling cubic zirconia create a textured, jewellery-inspired finish.
✔ Waterproof & Tarnish Resistant: Durable 316L surgical steel offers a polished, low-maintenance finish suitable for regular wear in healed piercings.
✔ Easy Hinged Closure: The convenient clicker-style mechanism opens and closes without a separate ball or removable segment.
💎 The Detail
Sleek, sparkling and a little more distinctive than a traditional crystal hoop, this design combines polished silver-toned steel with textured detailing and a shimmering row of clear cubic zirconia. It looks beautiful worn alone or layered alongside simpler studs and hoops as part of a curated ear.
Choose from a 6mm or 8mm inner diameter. The 6mm option creates a very close-fitting look, while the 8mm offers slightly more room. Your ideal size will depend on your piercing placement and individual anatomy, so we recommend comparing the inner diameter with a hoop that already fits comfortably.
Designed for healed piercings. If your piercing is new, irritated or still healing, ask a professional piercer before changing your jewellery.
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 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.

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.
