Hinged Rings

A clicker is the easiest hoop to live with. A hinged segment swings open, and when it comes back round the post seats into its socket with an audible click. Nothing to unscrew, no bead to lose down a sink.

This collection covers our hinged clicker rings: plain, gem-set and decorative, for septum, daith, helix, conch, nostril and lobe.

Two things to get right. Diameter is measured on the inside of the ring, so the hoop sits larger than the number suggests — thicker tissue needs more inner diameter, not a heavier gauge. And clickers are designed to open to roughly ninety degrees; forcing one further stretches the hinge, and a sprung hinge no longer holds the segment on its intended arc.

If a clicker stops closing, the cause is usually debris in the socket rather than a fault. Soak it in warm water, work the notch gently with a soft brush, dry it, and try again. Close it along the curve of the ring rather than squeezing the ends together — squeezing pushes the post past the socket and bends the hoop.

Everything here is implant-grade titanium, ASTM F-136. Compare with plain hinged hoops and huggie hoops, or browse all hoops.
