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.
