Say hello to the 16 Gauge Gold Hinged Ring Clicker, a hinged ring clicker, kept clean and simple, with no stone or charm, just a well-made piece that pairs easily with anything. The hinged segment snaps open and closed with a light click, so there's nothing to twist on or off, and no tiny ball to hunt for on the bathroom floor. Either wear it in lip, labret, nose, septum, daith, rook, tragus, conch, orbital, helix, ear lobe, ear, or oral piercings. In a lip or labret piercing, the hinge sits close to the skin, which helps keep it comfortable when you're talking or eating. It's the kind of piece that just goes with everything already in your line-up.
Titanium ASTM F136, the implant grade standard, is what this is made from, the same specification used in surgical implants. In practice, that means hypoallergenic and nickel-free, which is gentle on sensitive skin. It can be safely sterilised and it won't corrode or discolour with wear. If you're upgrading from a cheaper starter piece, this is the obvious next step.
It comes in 16 gauge; diameters from 5mm to 14mm. Full options are listed above the Add to Cart button. Check the size guide first if you're not sure what you're currently wearing.

FAQs
Are the materials safe for a piercing?
It's made from ASTM F136 implant grade titanium, the medical-grade standard piercers recommend for this stage. It's hypoallergenic and nickel-free, so it won't irritate sensitive skin or trigger a metal allergy. The gold plating is generally well tolerated by sensitive skin, as long as you aren't allergic to gold.
What size does this come in?
It comes in 16 gauge, the standard thickness for this type of jewellery. Diameters range from 5mm to 14mm to suit different piercings. Full options are listed above the Add to Cart button. Check the size guide if you're not sure what you're currently wearing.
Which piercings can I wear this in?
You can wear this in lip, labret, nose, septum, daith, rook, tragus, conch, orbital, helix, ear lobe, ear, and oral piercings. Check with your piercer if you're not sure it'll work for your specific placement or anatomy.
How do I clean and care for it?
A saline solution or Pheenix Piercing Spray is all it needs. Skip the alcohol, peroxide, and harsh chemical cleaners, since they'll dull the finish over time. Titanium won't corrode or discolour with normal wear.
