Titanium Marquise Hoop

The titanium marquise hoop is a fine hinged ring with a single sparkle: one small marquise-cut crystal set at the front-bottom of a plain polished band. Made for a healed nose piercing, it also suits the helix piercing and other cartilage spots — a dainty nose hoop that adds light without adding bulk.

It is machined from implant-grade ASTM F136 titanium (G23), nickel-free and kind to sensitive skin — the metal piercers trust for nostrils and cartilage, where skin can stay reactive long after healing. The polished silver tone keeps the look quiet and clean. Prefer a warmer glow? See the gold marquise hoop.

The hinged segment swings open, slides through the piercing and clicks shut — no bending the metal, no loose bead to lose. Once closed, the join melts into the band and the stone sits right where the eye lands. Want the same easy ring with no stone at all? Our titanium nose ring is the plain version.

Nostril or cartilage: where it shines

In the nostril, the marquise follows the curve of the nose for a delicate, almost-there sparkle. On the ear, it becomes a cartilage hoop for the helix, or a quiet accent next to your studs in a curated ear. The single stone keeps it minimal, so it pairs easily with what you already wear.

Choosing your diameter

The ring is 16G (1.2 mm) thick and comes in three inner diameters: 8, 10 and 12 mm. 8 mm hugs a nostril snugly; 10 mm suits most helix piercings or a looser fit in the nose; 12 mm leaves more room for a lower helix or other cartilage. Always match the gauge your piercer set — our gauge and size guide helps you measure.

Frequently asked questions about the titanium marquise hoop

• Can I wear it in a fresh piercing? No — nostrils and cartilage are first pierced with jewellery chosen by your piercer. Switch to this hoop once your piercer confirms the piercing has healed.
• What is the stone? A clear 5A cubic zirconia in a marquise cut: an elongated shape with pointed ends that gives a crisp, clean sparkle.
• Where does the stone sit? At the front-bottom of the ring, so it shows when the hoop is worn. The rest of the band stays plain and polished.
