The details that matter

A tiny snail with a rounded shell, long body and two feelers, paired with an open hoop that is refreshingly easy to wear.

1. Why you’ll love it

A polished solid-gold snail adds a playful, slow-living detail while keeping the overall design clean enough for everyday styling. Its rounded shell, extended body and tiny feelers create an instantly recognisable silhouette — and a gentle reminder that there is no need to rush.

Unlike a seamless ring, this hoop has a permanent opening. There is no need to twist the ring apart or carefully align two ends after fitting — simply insert the smooth end and rotate the snail into position.

Suitable for carefully measured, fully healed nose and ear piercings.

2. Material & finish

Made from genuine 14ct solid gold — never plated or gold-filled.

  • Available in yellow, white or rose gold
  • Nickel-free
  • Available in 18G and 20G
  • Solid throughout, with no plating to flake
  • Polished for a smooth, reflective finish
  • Made for long-term everyday wear
3. Choosing your size

The inner diameter determines how closely the hoop sits around your nose or ear:

  • 6–7mm: a smaller, closer fit
  • 8mm: a balanced everyday size
  • 9–10mm: more room and a more visible hoop

Choose the same gauge as your current jewellery: 20G measures 0.8mm, while 18G measures 1.0mm.

The snail motif measures approximately 3–4mm. Its exact dimensions may vary slightly with the hoop diameter to keep the design proportionate.

Your ideal diameter depends on your anatomy and piercing placement. Measure an existing well-fitting hoop or ask your piercer before ordering.

4. How to put it on

This hoop is designed to remain open, so there is no need to twist or bend it before fitting.

Guide the smooth plain end through your fully healed piercing, then gently rotate the hoop until the snail sits in your preferred position.

Do not force the two ends together or repeatedly bend the ring, as this may distort its shape. For difficult-to-reach ear placements, ask a professional piercer to fit it for you.

5. Where can I wear it

This open hoop can be worn in a suitable, fully healed nostril or ear piercing.

Possible placements include the nostril, lobe and selected cartilage piercings, depending on your anatomy, piercing position and required diameter.

Confirm that both the inner diameter and open design are suitable for your placement before ordering.
