✓ Waterproof ✓ Hypoallergenic ✓ Tarnish Free
Add texture to your piercing stack with this 16 Gauge Silver Twisted Rope Hinged Hoop Ring. Featuring a detailed rope-inspired surface and easy hinged closure, it’s available in 8mm or 10mm for a more distinctive alternative to a traditional plain hoop.
✨ Why You'll Love It
✔ Twisted Rope Design: The textured rope-style pattern adds depth and detail while keeping the hoop completely crystal-free for a polished, minimal look.
✔ Easy Hinged Closure: The built-in hinge opens and clicks securely closed, with no separate ball or removable end to manage.
✔ 8mm or 10mm Sizes: Choose between two hoop diameters depending on your piercing, anatomy and preferred fit.
💎 The Detail
Classic Silver gets a more decorative finish with this twisted rope design. The textured surface catches the light differently from a plain polished hoop, making it easy to add visual interest to a curated ear stack or septum without introducing crystals or coloured plating.
This hoop is 16 gauge (1.2mm) and available in 8mm or 10mm diameter options, crafted from 316L surgical steel with a hinged closure. Sold individually and suitable for compatible, fully healed piercings where the gauge, diameter and hoop profile suit your anatomy.
