Match the gauge, not the look

Gauge is the number that decides whether a piece goes through at all, and it should match what your piercer put in. If you are not sure of yours, ask them rather than guessing from a photograph.

About this piece

We machine these four clicker rings in solid 316L surgical steel with a smooth high polish. The pack covers four diameters in 16G, which is 1.2mm thick. Your gauge should match what the piercer put in, while the range of ring sizes helps you find the right fit for septum, nostril, lip, or cartilage placements.

Details

Hinged clicker mechanism

The small segment swings open on an integrated pin and snaps back shut with finger pressure. You hear the click when it seats. There are no loose beads or separate segments to drop down the drain.

Four inner diameters

This set gives you four distinct sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm. The smaller rings hug closer on rook or tragus placements, while the larger hoops leave room on lobes, conch, or septum piercings.

Solid 316L surgical steel

We mill each ring from 316L surgical steel, labeled hypoallergenic in our material specifications. The metal holds its shape through repeated opening, and we round the post ends so they do not scrape during insertion.

Plain polished surface

Each hoop is hand polished to a mirror surface across the joint and curvature. To keep the finish bright, wipe the metal clean with a soft dry cloth after handling and store the spares dry.
