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 formed this teardrop ring from 316L surgical steel and lined the bottom curve with clear cubic zirconia stones. The segment swings open on a flush hinge and snaps shut with a firm click. It gives you a clean teardrop outline without loose balls to chase. Match the 16G thickness to the gauge your piercer used.

Details

Hinged segment closure

The moving bar swings open on a smooth pivot and snaps directly back into the hoop. You hear and feel the closure take hold, so there are no loose beads or small segments to drop.

316L steel body

We machine the body from 316L surgical steel and polish the outer rim to a bright, smooth finish. The metal holds its shape during daily wear and wipes clean with a soft dry cloth.

Clear zirconia stones

Clear cubic zirconia crystals sit along the pointed base of the teardrop. Each stone is seated tightly in the steel channel so the front face catches light without rough prongs snagging on skin or clothing.

Sixteen gauge profile

This piece measures 16G, which is 1.2mm in wire thickness, paired with an 8mm inner diameter. Check your current jewelry before ordering because the teardrop depth sits differently than a standard round circle.
