Empress Rising Hinge Ring – Garnet – 16 Gauge
Description
Designed by BVLA (Body Vision Los Angeles), the Empress Rising Hinge Ring is a bold, gemstone-forward design defined by symmetry, movement, and dramatic pear silhouettes. Crafted in solid 14k white gold, this 16 gauge, 3/8” diameter hinge ring features a multi-stone layout with all pear points oriented outward for maximum visual impact.
At the center sits a 5 × 3mm AA-grade pear-cut garnet, flanked on each side by two pear accents—one 4 × 2.5mm and one 3 × 2mm—creating a graduated, wing-like structure. Between the pear stones are six 1.5mm round AA garnets, adding rhythm and balance to the design.
Finished with a smooth hinge closure for ease of wear, the Empress Rising is engineered to sit securely while delivering rich color, dimensional depth, and unmistakable presence.
Care
Materials & build
Our jewelry is solid 14k gold (never plated) with a high-polish, skin-safe finish. Settings are low-profile for daily comfort; posts and hinges are engineered for smooth insertion and a secure fit.
Gemstones
We use ethically sourced stones set with prongs or bezel. Hard gems (diamond/sapphire) are everyday-ready; softer/porous stones (opal, turquoise, pearl, emerald) need gentler care (see cleaning).
Fit & wear
Choose sizes recommended by your piercer. For threadless ends, a slight bend in the pin creates tension; check security weekly. Hinged and seam rings are delicate—open with a twist (never pull apart).
Care & cleaning
- Daily: rinse after showers/working out; pat dry.
- Routine clean: mild soap + soft brush, then rinse and dry.
- Avoid: chlorine pools/hot tubs, harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners for opal, turquoise, pearl, emerald.
- Polishing: use a non-abrasive gold cloth on metal only (not over stones).
- Storage: separate pouch/compartment to prevent scratches.
Piercing safety
Gold is best for healed piercings. For new piercings, use implant-grade titanium or solid 14k gold that meets professional standards—ask your piercer.
Repairs & maintenance
We can tighten stones, adjust threadless tension, and service hinges. If something feels loose, stop wearing and contact us.
Design
Our dedication to excellence extends beyond materials; it encompasses the artistry and craftsmanship illustrated in every piece we carry.
