316L Surgical Steel Hypoallergenic Hinged Nose Ring Hoop for Women & Men

Quick synopsis: Quality, easy to use, arrived as described--basic silver nose rings. In-depth review: I've had many piercings for more than a decade now, my nostril piercings being two of the longest I've had. I have one on each side of my nose, so I purchased two of these rings to replace both accordingly. This was my first time changing out the jewelry of these piercings since the first sterling silver rings I had graduated to after initially being pierced with surgical steel studs. These (now retired) first rings each had an internally threaded ball for closure. Now, despite how easy it is to change jewelry for piercings, whether it be a trip to the local piercing shop or placing an order online, for whatever reason, I haven't changed mine in more than ten years--luckily, I've never had to as I've never had an infection or complications with the piercings in my nose. Again, I had always disliked the jewelry I had been wearing before making this purchase, the reason being: due to the closure of the jewelry being threaded balls, on (obviously) circular rings, this always resulted to the rings rotating and shifting at their own will, with the balls sticking out, if that makes sense--side laugh to maybe clarify, whenever spending time with my mother, throughout the past decade, I've jokingly ask her to please tell me "if my balls are out" when the balls on my piercings began to peak out of my nostrils... Ha--no more! Above all else, this was just frustrating, I'd even take the time to edit the balls out of images of me if I had not noticed them sticking out during the time of the shot being taken... Thanks to these seamless, clicker rings, I no longer have to worry about my sterling silver balls emerging from my nostrils at any given moment. Again, a very silly and minor inconvenience, but one that I am so thankful to no longer have to deal with. And, of course, this all could've been solved had I sooner made this purchase. While any seamless rings would've worked for me, I can confirm that this was a successful purchase. Having read other reviews, I anticipated the act of literally clicking the ring shut being as frustrating as my old jewelry, however, I found no difficulty in using the click-closure of these rings, the most effort required was a wiggle. This part of my experience may be attributed to my being familiar with various other piercings and jewelry, as again, I have many. Conclusion: These rings are exactly what you need if you're looking for inexpensive yet quality jewelry. An extra hand could possibly help when using the ring closure, but these are overall easy to use and exactly as described. ~ UPDATE APRIL 2024: About a year has passed since I made this purchase and put these little guys into my nostrils. They are still in perfect condition—no yellowing of the hardware, no irritation/infections/pain of any kind, the seamless clipping mechanism has remained strong and I’ve never had to remove these babies (or put them back in for that matter). If you’re looking for an economical but quality, nose ring, I’d still highly recommend you buy these! :~)

It’s been a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and my nose hasn’t reacted negatively to the metal at all. Clasps good, fits well, and looks great!

I was having difficulty getting my nose piercing to heal. My nose was pierced with titanium. Many people told me to wait to switch to a nose ring but honestly I think this nose ring saved my piercing. After I put this in it finally healed! This nose ring is super easy to use. The clasp is snug. Fits perfect. Painless to use. Very secure as well. Looks great and very versatile.

I love these because you can barely see the clasp at all. these are just about the most seamless hoops I've ever seen. sometimes they're a little finicky to close- you might have to look closely and guide the two ends in place when snapping this shut (a magnifying mirror helps with this). no surprise - small pieces of metal with tiny hinges are quite delicate, so just practice some basic caution. but once a hoop is closed, it's very secure. these can be a little hard to grasp with two hands and open. my tip is to loop something skinny through it - like a Q-tip or a piece of string - and use that as a tool to help pull the hoop open.

Before I get into this review, I want to say the only reason I didn’t read it. Five stars is because I believe it’s a tiny bit thicker than the gauge it advertises. If you want A really thin, dainty hoop, and this is not for you. It’s not super thick, and it does still look good and feminine, It’s just not as thin as my old 20 gauge hoop. One end, Is obviously thinner than the other end because you have to Slip one end into the other. The thinner end is the correct gauge that will slide into the piercing easily. However, the thicker side is a tiny bit thicker than the gauge you will be buying So if you were piercing, isn’t used to a thicker gauge, it may feel too tight or uncomfortable. My piercing is used to 20 gauge nose rings yet this one did feel uncomfortable to me, Like it was enlarging the piercing. So keep this in mind when purchasing. With that being said, I do really really like this hoop a lot and I really wish I can find it A thinner gauge like maybe a 22. When I first put it in, I had a hard time snapping it closed because I didn’t want to hurt myself, and I couldn’t tell if I just needed to press harder or if it was broken. After a little while longer, and pushing a little bit harder, it finally snapped closed. And yes, You will hear an obvious snap once it is closed properly. I originally bought the 5mm, And found it was a bit snug. But this is a really great shop that made it super easy to return it. When I first tried it on, I was so focused on the fact that it was too snug that I didn’t notice. It was thicker than I wanted, so, Right away, I bought the 6 mm hoop. Same exact hoop, Just as easy to put in, Only this time I am realizing it’s just too thick. I will keep the 6 mm hoop just in case I change my mind in the future and want something a bit thicker. But I really do highly recommend this hoop. I really think it’s perfect. As for how well it holds up or if it tarnishes, I really can’t say Because I didn’t keep it in long enough. As for taking it off, you will most not likely need a couple pairs of needle nose pliers to pull it apart or you can try the rubber band and bobby pin hack.

These are solid. Been wearing them for the last few years for nostril, septum and lobe piercings with no issues. They’re nice if you like a simple look and don’t need to change your jewelry often. Haven’t had an issue with these falling out or tarnishing.

Arrived quickly. Exactly as described. Fits perfectly

I loved this hoop for my helix piercing! It did not tarnish and i wore it swimming and in the shower. It was comfortable and didnt irritate my ear. It looks just like the photo! I highly recommend this!

Good quality looks good and sturdy too

There were not many (I didn't find any) Indian reviews. I had to return this using Dtdc because firstly it was very expensive and quite thick gauge. I had to pay extra for refund. I was told I will get reimbursed but I didn't get to speak to customer support.

Me gustó mucho, me ha durado bastante y no mancha

Excelente experiencia, muy rápido y excelente producto
