G23 Titanium Heavy Gauge Classic Hinged Segment Clicker Ring

• Implant-Grade G23 Titanium: Biocompatible material suitable for sensitive skin and long-term wear
• Hinged Segment Mechanism: Smooth insertion with a secure, audible click for confident fit
• Multiple Gauge & Size Options: 8G, 10G, 12G gauges available in 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm diameters to match your piercing anatomy
• Four Finish Choices: Steel, Black, Gold, and Rose Gold to suit any style preference
• Nickel-Free & Hypoallergenic: Safe for users with metal sensitivities and nickel allergies

1. Wash Your Hands: Before handling any body jewellery, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water to prevent bacteria transfer
2. Prepare the Piercing: Ensure your piercing is clean and dry. If newly pierced (under 6–8 weeks), consult your professional piercer before inserting jewellery
3. Align the Ring: Hold the clicker ring with the hinge opening facing your piercing. Gently position the bar against the piercing entrance
4. Insert Smoothly: Using gentle pressure, slide the hinged segment into the piercing. The smooth titanium will glide easily without catching skin
5. Secure the Hinge: Once fully inserted, the hinged segment will click into a closed position, creating a snug, secure fit. You'll hear and feel a distinct click
6. Check Comfort: Once worn, the ring should feel secure without pressure or tightness. If uncomfortable, remove and reassess the gauge or diameter size

• Daily Cleaning: Rinse the ring gently with warm water while wearing it. Pat dry with a clean tissue
• Deep Clean (Weekly): Remove the ring and soak in a solution of saline solution for 5–10 minutes. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub away any buildup, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry
• Storage: When not wearing, store the ring in a clean, dry location away from moisture. Use a small jewellery pouch to prevent dust accumulation
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep the ring away from chlorine, perfumes, and body lotions, which can dull the finish
• Titanium Properties: G23 titanium is naturally resistant to tarnishing and doesn't require polishing. The material remains hypoallergenic even with regular wear
• Professional Cleaning: For stubborn buildup, bring the ring to your piercer for professional cleaning
• Wear Duration: This ring is designed for all-day, everyday wear. You can sleep and shower with it once the piercing is fully healed (typically 6–8 weeks for cartilage)

Why G23 Titanium Stands Out: Unlike surgical steel, which can trigger reactions in nickel-sensitive users, G23 titanium is implant-grade—meaning it meets the same biocompatibility standards used in medical implants. This makes it the gold standard for body jewellery, especially for long-term daily wear and sensitive skin.

This heavy gauge hinged segment clicker ring is designed for multiple wear scenarios and piercing locations:

• Cartilage Piercings: The mid-gauge options (10G, 12G) work beautifully in upper and mid-cartilage, offering a subtle statement without excessive weight
• Tragus Piercings: The smaller diameters (8mm, 10mm) fit snugly in the tragus, creating a refined, proportional look
• Helix Piercings: All size combinations work in the helix; choose 10G or 12G for a lightweight option if you prefer delicate styling
• Septum Piercings (Segment Clicker): When worn in the septum, the hinged design allows comfortable insertion without pinching
• Everyday Wear: G23 titanium is shower-safe, sweat-resistant, and suitable for gym, work, and social settings
• Active Lifestyles: The secure hinge closure ensures the ring stays in place during sports, exercise, and movement-intensive activities
• Sleeping: Once the piercing is fully healed (6–8+ weeks), the smooth hinged design makes this ring comfortable for sleeping
• Sensitive Skin & Metal Allergies: If you experience reactions to surgical steel or nickel, this implant-grade material is your safest choice

Not Suitable For: Very fresh piercings (under 4–6 weeks). Always consult your professional piercer before inserting any jewellery into a newly pierced location.

Diameter Guide (Ring Circumference)

How to Measure Your Piercing

1. Use a ruler or callipers to measure the thickness (gauge) of your current jewellery—measure the bar thickness in millimetres
2. For diameter, measure the inside opening of your existing ring from one edge to the opposite edge
3. If you're unsure, consult your professional piercer—they can confirm your exact gauge and diameter in seconds
4. Remember: G23 titanium is gentler on piercings than heavier materials, so a slightly snug fit is comfortable and secure

• Is G23 titanium really hypoallergenic?

  Yes. G23 titanium is implant-grade, meaning it contains virtually zero nickel and meets biocompatibility standards used in medical implants. If you have a nickel allergy or sensitive skin, G23 titanium is one of the safest choices for body jewellery. Unlike surgical steel, which can contain up to 8% nickel, this material is specifically formulated to minimise allergic reactions.

• How do I know which gauge is right for my piercing?

  Gauge refers to the thickness of the bar. Most cartilage piercings are 16G, 14G, or 12G. Your professional piercer will have used a specific gauge when creating your piercing—check your piercing paperwork or ask your piercer directly. If you're unsure, start with 10G (2.5mm) for cartilage, which is the most versatile standard. The Gauge Size Guide tab above shows typical placements for each gauge.

• What's the difference between 8G, 10G, and 12G?

  These refer to the thickness of the bar. 8G (3.0mm) is the thickest, 10G (2.5mm) is mid-weight, and 12G (2.0mm) is the thinnest. Thicker gauges look bolder; thinner gauges appear more delicate. Your piercing's original gauge determines which size you can wear—you cannot put a thicker gauge into a piercing meant for a thinner one without stretching it.

• Can I wear this clicker ring in a fresh (newly pierced) piercing?

  Not immediately. Fresh piercings typically require 4–6 weeks (sometimes longer for cartilage) to stabilise before changing jewellery. Inserting jewellery too early can interrupt healing and cause infection. Always wait until your professional piercer confirms your piercing is ready for jewellery changes. Once healed, G23 titanium is an excellent choice for long-term wear.

• How do I insert and remove the hinged segment clicker?

  To insert: Hold the clicker with the hinge opening facing your piercing. Gently slide the bar into the piercing, then click the hinged segment closed—you'll hear a satisfying 'click' sound. To remove: Simply press the hinge to open it, then gently slide the ring out. The smooth titanium makes both actions effortless. See the 'How to Use' tab for detailed step-by-step instructions.

• Is this ring suitable for sleeping?

  Once your piercing is fully healed (6–8+ weeks), yes. The smooth hinged design and comfortable fit make it suitable for sleeping. However, avoid sleeping on a freshly pierced ear, as pressure can irritate healing tissue. If your piercing is still healing, remove the ring before bed.

• How do I clean and maintain this titanium ring?

  Daily: Rinse gently with warm water while wearing. Weekly: Remove the ring and soak in saline solution for 5–10 minutes, gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry. Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid chlorine, perfumes, and harsh chemicals. G23 titanium is naturally resistant to tarnishing and doesn't require polishing. See the 'Care Instructions' tab for complete details.

• What does '8mm' and '10mm' refer to?

  These measurements refer to the inner diameter of the ring—the opening size. 8mm is smaller (better for tight or delicate piercings), 10mm is standard (suits most cartilage piercings), and 12mm is larger (for oversized piercings or bold styling). Measure the inside of your current ring, or ask your piercer to confirm your correct diameter.

• Will this ring fit my tragus piercing?

  Most likely. The tragus is typically pierced at 14G or 16G, which corresponds to 12G or 10G jewellery sizes. Choose an 8mm or 10mm diameter for the tragus, as it's a smaller piercing location. Consult the 'Ideal Usages' tab or your piercer if you're uncertain about your specific gauge and diameter.

• How does this compare to surgical steel clicker rings?

  G23 titanium vs surgical steel: Titanium is implant-grade, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic, making it safer for sensitive skin. Surgical steel can contain up to 8% nickel, which may trigger allergic reactions. Titanium is also more durable and resists corrosion better. If you have metal sensitivities, G23 titanium is the superior choice. See the 'Materials' tab for a detailed comparison.
