Hypoallergenic niobium 8mm and 10mm continuous rings. Also known as seamless rings. Twist sideways to open and close (see photos). The smaller gauge and larger size rings are the easiest to open so 0.8mm gauge 10mm rings will be the easiest and 1.2mm gauge 8mm rings will be the hardest. 0.8mm, 1mm or 1.2mm gauge?0.8mm/20 gauge (the same thickness as Blomdahl titanium and Studex Sensitive earrings) or 1mm/18 gauge continuous rings are good if your piercings have shrunk or were originally pierced with a smaller size, being thinner they are also easier to twist open and closed. 1.2mm/16 gauge is the most common size ears are initially pierced with. 0.8mm/20 gauge is popular for nostril piercings. Which size?The sizes listed are for the internal diameter of the continuous rings so if you measure out from your piercing you should get a good idea of how each size would sit.

Wednesday, 25 March 2020 | Esther Basic, comfortable and not too hard to open or close. I’m going to order more colours from these! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Friday, 13 March 2020 | Jayne These are great everyday earrings and don’t irritate at all. A bit tricky to close but once you get it it’s really easy Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Friday, 7 February 2020 | Jane Great, just what i needed to help my overly sensitive ears. Thank you for speedy delivery! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Monday, 6 January 2020 | Serena Nice size for my helix piercing (6mm is too small). A little tricky to get it open enough and then closed nicely once it's in, but I'm getting better at it. Looks really good once in, subtle and tidy. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Good but very easily bent Monday, 4 June 2018 | Rachel This was a beautiful niobium hoop, however, it is very small. Because of the twist mechanism, it's very easy to bend out of shape. Great if you know how to use them, not so great if like me, you find these things difficult. I bent it out of shape almost immediately.
Size: 8mm, Gauge: 1mm Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Tuesday, 17 April 2018 | Kate I have struggled to wear any earrings for ages, but these have been great. They are easy to put on and I have had no problems at all. Brilliant! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Tuesday, 30 January 2018 | Suzanne I was very excited to get these earrings, but I found out quickly that twisting them back into a "ring" wasn't as easy as it looks. However, I still do like them, I just wish they moved a bit easier.
Size: 8mm, Gauge: 1.2mm Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Wednesday, 23 August 2017 | Mairi Bought these as my piercings weren't healing. One week later -all healed up. The colour (green) is a lovely shiny blue/green. Easy to fit and remove and comfortable to sleep in.
Size: 10mm, Gauge: 1.2mm Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Friday, 12 May 2017 | Emma Sturdy & vibrant little earrings, very comfortable and look good. I plan to buy more in a variety of colours! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No Thursday, 2 February 2017 | Kathryn This is a lovely earring. It's very difficult to open and close. I've sat twisting it open and closed to no avail. I then ordered a hinged version - of course it's more expensive but it's so much kinder to the ear and easy to put in and out.
Spend the bit extra for the hinged version.

Niobium looks very similar to titanium but is an element rather than an alloy (a mix of metals), it is ideal if you are allergic to nickel, silver or gold.
Like titanium it can be anodised, changing the surface colour of the metal to create a range of colours. Niobium used in a jewellery has to be as pure as possible and is sometimes know as 999 Niobium or 99.9% niobium.
