What can I say about this bee hoop except that it's cute meets cool. 

This is a fun piece of jewelry that's versatile enough to be worn anywhere. It can be worn as a nose ring or as a cartilage, tragus, or daith piercing. Wear it to the garden club to make a statement, or to your local honey farm. It will be noticed wherever you go.

I hand craft these to order from my home studio in BC, Canada, and these lively little guys fly to locations all over the world.

• bee is 7mm (a bit over 1/4")
• nickel free sterling silver

Also available in gold.

And as a nose stud and stud earrings.

How to pick a great fitting ring:
1. Pick your Size
• measure from your piercing hole to the furthest edge where you want the hoop to wrap around
• consider the thickness – if it’s on the thick side, add in 1mm. If it’s really thick, add 2mm or more
• I measure in millimeters on the INSIDE of the ring – from the inside of one edge to the inside of the opposite edge
• See the conversion chart below for millimeters to inches
• I use 8mm = ‘fits most’ size, 6mm = really small, and 12mm = really large

2. Pick your Gauge
• gauge means how thick the wire is
• 22G is thinner & daintier, 20G is standard, and 18G is thicker, 16 is thickest
• 20G is about the thickness of a regular earring post or hook
• if you don’t know, you can compare to an earring, or ask your piercer

Millimeters to Inches:
• 1mm = just over 1/32 inch
• 2mm = just over 1/16 inch
• 3mm = almost 1/8 inch
• 4mm = 5/32 inch (= a bit over 1/8 inch)
• 5mm = just over 3/16 inch
• 6mm = almost 1/4 inch
• 7mm = almost 9/32 inch (= a bit over 1/4 inch)
• 8mm = 5/16 inch
• 9mm = almost 3/8 inch
• 10mm = just over 3/8 inch
• 11mm = almost 7/16 inch
• 12mm = almost 15/32 inch (= almost 1/2 inch)
