The 16g gauge feels sturdy without being bulky, and the 8mm diameter sits perfectly flush against my ear. I've worn it through two showers and a sweaty gym session with zero irritation or tarnish.

The 12mm internal diameter is perfect if you want a bit of breathing room without looking too loose. I've had mine in for three weeks straight and the 16g thickness feels sturdy enough that I forget it's even there.

The 16g hoop in 8mm fits my cartilage perfectly and hasn’t irritated my ear at all since I put it in three weeks ago. The symbolism of past, present, and future is a nice touch that makes it feel more special than just a plain ring.
