Hypoallergenic surgical steel hinged segment rings in 0.8mm, 1mm and 1.2mm gauge (thickness) with 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm internal diameters.

Hinged segment rings close the same way as standard segment rings but with one end hinged to the ring they aren't quite as fiddly as you only need to click one end into place. Often the segment does need to be guided into place. Holding the segment between your thumb and index finger and the ring part with your other hand is usually the easiest way to do this. Don't wory if it goes passed the ring instead of clicking in, it will go back into the right place without doing any harm.

Which size?
The sizes listed are for the internal diameter of the hinged segment rings so if you measure out from your piercing you should get a good idea of how each size would sit.

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 hinged segment rings are good if your piercings have shrunk or were originally pierced with a smaller size. 1.2mm/16 gauge is the most common size ears are initially pierced with.
Please note: The hinged part is not thinner than the rest of the ring.

Gauge (help)

0.8mm (20 gauge), 1mm (18 gauge) or 1.2mm (16 gauge)

Love the look but difficult and a bit temperamental to close...

Stiff hinge

Thursday, 16 January 2020 | Kate

Not yet tried it in my ear as took me forever to open and had to resort to pliers. Hinge seems very stiff. Potentially need to remove to an operation so don’t want to risk putting it in just yet.

They were better quality than I had expected for the price I paid.. easy to put in and have stayed in place since. The service was great, they arrived 3 days after I ordered them, I will be using this seller again.

I found the hinges almost impossible to open, in fact I still haven't managed to open the one and so haven't been able to use it at all

Response:

I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble opening the hinged segment ring.

Some people find wearing close-fitting latex/latex-free gloves helps to give more grip. To open the hinged segment rings you need to hold the segment in one hand and the ring in the other close to the opening. It's very easy to confuse with the hinge but pulling either side of that doesn't open the ring at all (I've made that mistake plenty of times). If you look closely you should be able to see the join between the ring and segment as a thin line about 5mm away from the hinge on the 6mm rings.

Exactly as advertised

Fantastic product. Once you put them in, there is no risk of them coming out unless you want them to. They're great for my allergies and are the exact size I wanted. There have been other sites I've purchased from where they'll give measurements and then send a product that doesn't match those measurements; that was not the case here. These are exactly what I wanted!

Surgical steel hinged earring

Tuesday, 6 August 2019 | Lesley

So glad I found this website, it’s so easy to find what you need. I started out with the surgical plastic earring studs which were fab, started the healing process of my very poorly ear lobe, then I moved onto these, very pleased easy to put in and take out to clean. I opted for the larger size as my lobes are quite thick, look excellent and good space between the ring and the bottom of my lobe. Love them and this site is awesome, customer service is excellent and delivery quick, impressed 😊
