02Wearing it

Shower-safe: Yes

Shower-safe. Remove for swimming pools and the sea.

03Nickel release

Nickel release ≤ 0.2 µg/cm²/week — nickel-safe, tested to UK REACH limits. UK REACH restricts nickel release from articles inserted into pierced ears to 0.2 µg/cm² per week, and from articles in prolonged skin contact to 0.5 µg/cm² per week. Lead content is restricted to 0.05% and cadmium to 0.01%. Supplier conformity documentation is held on file and available on request.

04Care

Sterling silver reacts with sulphur in air and on skin, so it darkens over time. That is normal and reversible — a polishing cloth brings the surface back. Open the catch to polish the section that hides inside it.

Do not use an immersion cleaning bath on strung, glued or deliberately oxidised pieces. Full care guide.

What it is

A 1.5 mm round-wire hoop with a hinged catch. At 12 mm the hoop stays within the outline of the ear, which is why it is the one that survives jumpers, scarves and headphones.

We do not make health, therapeutic or fortune claims for anything we sell. This is a plain article of sterling silver, priced at £45 including VAT, sold as a one-off purchase with no membership or subscription attached. Your 14-day right to withdraw applies except where stated above.
