Fit Helper
Is 10.5mm the right hoop size for you?
Choose 10.5mm if 10mm feels a little too close, but 11mm leaves more visible space than you want. It gives you a balanced medium fit with slightly more room than 10mm, without looking as open as 11mm.
SizeFit feelBest for
10mmClose medium fitWhen you want a neater fit and already know 10mm feels comfortable
10.5mmBalanced medium comfort fitWhen 10mm feels tight but 11mm looks too loose
11mmMore relaxed fitWhen you want more visible space or easier movement
10.5mm gives you more room without looking too large: a close-to-comfort fit between 10mm and 11mm.
Half Size Fit
When 10mm is too tight and 11mm is too loose
Standard hoop sizes often jump by a full millimetre. On a healed piercing, that small difference can change how the hoop sits, moves and feels. 10.5mm gives you the middle ground: more comfortable than 10mm, but neater than a full 11mm hoop.
10.5mm is the in-between size for healed piercings that need a little more breathing room than 10mm without moving up to a visibly looser 11mm fit.
Suitable Placements
May suit medium fully healed placements
10.5mm is a medium half-size hoop. It is more suited to healed septum, daith, conch, lobe, and larger cartilage placements than smaller close-fit nostril styling.
Septum piercings that need slightly more room than 10mm
Daith piercings that feel too tight in 10mm
Small to medium conch placements
Lobe piercings that need a neat medium hoop
Helix piercings that need a more relaxed fit than 10mm
Some nostril piercings only if you already know you prefer a larger hoop
10.5mm is a medium half-size hoop. If your piercing sits very close to the edge, this may look too large. If your piercing sits deeper or passes through thicker tissue, check your current jewellery size before choosing.
Size Difference
10mm vs 10.5mm vs 11mm: which size should you choose?
This is the key fit question for a medium comfort half size. Choose 10.5mm when 10mm feels tight but 11mm looks too open.

Material Trust
A balanced everyday hoop deserves real solid gold

Measure Before Ordering
How to check if 10.5mm may fit
Check the inner diameter of the hoop you currently wear.
If 10mm feels tight, presses into the skin, or feels restrictive, 10.5mm may give you slightly more room.
If 11mm looks too loose or leaves more visible space than you want, 10.5mm may give you a neater look.
For septum, daith or conch piercings, compare against the size you already wear rather than guessing from photos.
For a nostril piercing, only choose 10.5mm if you already know you prefer a larger hoop look.
If you are unsure between two sizes, choose the larger size or ask your piercer.
Common Questions
About the 10.5mm seamless hoop
Who should choose a 10.5mm seamless hoop?
Choose 10.5mm if your piercing is fully healed and 10mm feels slightly tight but 11mm looks too loose.
Is 10.5mm a common hoop size?
10.5mm is a half size, so it is less common than standard 10mm or 11mm hoops. It is useful when standard sizes do not give the fit you want.
Is 10.5mm good for septum piercings?
It may suit some fully healed septum piercings that need slightly more room than 10mm but still want a neat fit. Check your current jewellery size before choosing 10.5mm.
Can I wear 10.5mm in a daith piercing?
It may suit some fully healed daith piercings, but daith sizing depends heavily on anatomy and placement. If 10mm feels tight but 11mm looks too open, 10.5mm may be a useful middle size.
Can I wear 10.5mm in a conch piercing?
It may suit some small to medium fully healed conch placements. Many conch piercings need a larger diameter depending on anatomy, so check your current hoop size before choosing.
Is 10.5mm good for nostril piercings?
Only if you already know you prefer a larger nostril hoop. For many nostril piercings, 10.5mm may look more relaxed or oversized compared with smaller close-fit sizes.
Is rose gold still solid gold?
Yes. Choose 14ct rose gold if you prefer a softer colour. It is solid 14ct rose gold, not rose gold plated.
What gauge should I choose?
Choose the same gauge you already wear. 20G gives a delicate look, 18G is slightly thicker, 22G is very fine, and 16G should only be chosen if your piercing already wears 16G.
Is 10.5mm better than 10mm?
Not always. 10.5mm is better if 10mm feels tight, presses into the skin, or feels restrictive. If 10mm already feels comfortable and looks right, you may not need to size up.
Is 10.5mm better than 11mm?
Choose 10.5mm if 11mm looks too open or leaves more visible space than you want. Choose 11mm if you prefer easier movement or a more relaxed fit.
Can I wear 10.5mm in a new piercing?
No. This seamless hoop is for fully healed piercings only.
