Recycled Silver Infinity Hoop
Minimal, dainty hoop, handmade from eco-friendly, Recycled Sterling Silver. Suitable for nostril and ear piercings, including earlobe, cartilage, helix, daith, tragus & rook piercings. Softly rounded ends for comfortable insertion.
STEP 1: CHOOSE YOUR GAUGE SIZE:
• 24G (0.5mm)
• 23G (0.6mm)
• 22G (0.65mm)
• 21G (0.7mm)
• 20G (0.8mm)
• 18G (1.0mm)
• 16G (1.2mm)
For context, the 24G is a super fine hoop, perfect for a very delicate, minimal look. Most standard earrings (stud or drop) for a lobe piercing are around 20G, and this is a safe option if you’re unsure which size to go for.
STEP 2: CHOOSE YOUR DIAMETER
Available in sizes 4mm to 12mm inside diameter. To find the right size for your nostril piercing, use a ruler to measure a straight line from your piercing hole to the edge of your nostril. This will indicate the size required for a snug fit. You may choose to go up in size for a looser fit, or down in size for a very tight fit. Similarly, for ear piercings, measure from your piercing hole, out to the edge to the relevant part of the ear, which will indicate the size needed for a snug fit. Sizes 6mm to 8mm are the most popular options for all types of piercings.
To wear, gently twist the ends to open and close. Pliers may be helpful for small diameters or thicker gauges. Note that repeated opening and closing may lead to breakage.
We don’t use anti-tarnish coatings on piercing jewellery, as these substances can cause irritation in some individuals. Tarnishing of Sterling Silver jewellery is normal and will vary depending on the person. Jewellery is best stored in individual sealed bags, and can be polished with a suitable cloth to restore shine. Please get in touch if you’d like further advice on caring for your Sterling Silver jewellery.

SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Our piercing jewellery is suitable for healed piercings only.
Do not attempt to change the jewellery in a new piercing until the piercing has healed, unless instructed to do so by a medical professional. Doing so can result in infection, physical trauma and permanent scarring. The length of time required for piercings to heal can vary depending on the body part and on the individual person. Refer to the information provided by your piercer for the minimum length of time that you should wait before changing your jewellery for the first time. If you are still unsure whether your piercing has healed after this time has passed, consult a trained piercer or medical professional in person. If your new piercing is failing to heal due to ill-fitting jewellery, visit a trained piercer, who will measure you for a custom-fit piece.
2. All piercing jewellery can cause adverse sensitivity issues.
We offer piercing jewellery in Sterling Silver, 9K Gold, 18K Gold and 14K Gold Filled. Whilst these are generally well tolerated by most people, it is possible to develop a sensitivity to any of the metals used within these alloys, even if you have not previously experienced problems with other jewellery. If you have a known sensitivity to any of the metals within these alloys, do not purchase or attempt to wear this jewellery. If you develop adverse symptoms whilst wearing, remove the jewellery. If these symptoms are severe, or do not subside, seek medical attention.
3. Wear the correct size jewellery.
It’s important to select a gauge size (i.e. wire thickness) that is suitable for your piercing. If the gauge is too thin, the jewellery may move around, leading to inflammation, trauma and increased risk of infection. If the gauge is too large for your piercing, this may cause soreness and unnecessary stretching of the piercing hole. If you wish to change gauge size, it’s advisable to go up or down by no more than one or two sizes at a time, to allow the piercing to adjust.
4. Always wash your hands and the piercing area before changing your jewellery.
To reduce the risk of infection, always ensure that your hands, the piercing area, and the jewellery itself is clean and dry before changing the jewellery. It is advisable to sterilise piercing jewellery each time you change it.
5. Remove and insert piercing jewellery with great care.
Body piercings are extremely sensitive, and care should be taken when removing or inserting jewellery. Physical trauma caused to the piercing area whilst changing jewellery is very common, and can result in temporary inflammation, redness and soreness. If you do not feel confident changing your jewellery yourself, visit a trained piercer, who will do this for you.
