✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Create an instant stacked look with this Surgical Steel Double Row Hinged Hoop Ring. Available in silver or gold, its two polished parallel bands give the appearance of a coordinated double piercing from one easy-to-wear hoop.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Instant Stacked Effect: Two sleek parallel bands create the appearance of two closely spaced hoops without requiring a second piercing.
✓ Easy Hinged Closure: The integrated segment opens and clicks neatly back into place, with no separate ball or removable section to handle.
✓ Two Finishes & Sizes: Choose silver or gold with an 8mm or 10mm internal diameter to suit your piercing placement, anatomy and preferred fit.
💎 The Detail
Minimal but more distinctive than a traditional plain hoop, this double-row ring creates an effortless layered look. Its polished twin-band silhouette can be worn alone as a focal point or combined with crystal studs and other hoops in a curated piercing arrangement.
The ring has a thickness of 16G (1.2mm) and is available with an 8mm or 10mm internal diameter. Choose 8mm for a smaller, closer fit or 10mm where your piercing requires additional room. The correct size will depend on your anatomy and piercing placement.
Crafted from durable 316L surgical steel, this hoop is designed for regular wear in compatible healed piercings. The exact coating used on the gold option should be confirmed before making any claims about its resistance to water, tarnishing or fading.
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.

CARE & LONGEVITY
A little thoughtful care will help your jewellery look its best for longer.
This piece has a GOLD 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.
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.
