Simple Sterling Silver Nose/ Cartilage 18, 20, 22, 24 or 26 Gauge Hoop
**Sterling Silver Nose/ Cartilage Hoop available as a Single Hoop, 2 Hoop, 3 Hoop or 4 Hoop Set.**
This simple nose ring/ cartilage hoop is made out of your choice of 18, 20, 22, 24, or 26 gauge Sterling Silver wire. The 18g hoop is slightly thicker than the 20g hoop. (*The 18g hoop is shown in Photo #5.) The 20g hoop has a standard thickness for most body hoops, while the 22 gauge hoop is thinner. The 24 gauge hoop is super thin. The 26 gauge hoop is ultra thin for a "barely there" look, making it more delicate to handle. The 26 gauge hoop requires a gentle touch when twisting open and close to maintain its shape, especially for larger sizes (9mm and 10mm).
This hoop is lightweight (the ends are filed and smoothed for comfort) and easy to twist open for adjustment along the nose, yet can also be worn as a tragus, helix, cartilage or septum ring.
*Gauge refers to wire thickness.*
To Open: Gently twist the ends in the opposite direction at the same time to open and close. A bit more effort for the smaller 6mm & 7mm size is required to open and close the 18g hoop, since it has a thicker gauge (wire size).
