Plain metal, no stones — just a clean, generous curve that frames the inner ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is machined from implant-grade \u003cstrong\u003eASTM F136 titanium (G23)\u003c\/strong\u003e, nickel-free and gentle on sensitive skin — the metal piercers trust for cartilage, which heals slowly and reacts quickly to cheap alloys. The polished silver tone stays bright and understated. Prefer a warmer shine? See the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gold-conch-hoop\"\u003egold conch hoop\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hinged segment opens on one side, slides through the piercing and snaps locked — no bending the metal, no loose bead to lose. Once closed, the join disappears into the band, so this conch hoop earring reads as one solid circle. Looking for another shape for a helix or a second hole?

A chunky hoop has the presence to show: the wider front catches the light and hugs the edge of the cartilage, while the rounded edges stay comfortable day and night. It is a conch ring that works alone or as the anchor of a curated ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing your diameter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is \u003cstrong\u003e16G (1.2 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e thick and comes in three inner diameters: \u003cstrong\u003e8, 10 and 12 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. 10 mm fits most outer conch piercings; 12 mm suits a larger or deeper conch; 8 mm gives a snug huggie look and also works in a helix or lobe.
