I’ve had this 8mm hoop in for two weeks now and the 16g thickness feels sturdy without being bulky on my rook. The star shape sits flush enough that it hasn’t snagged on my hair once, which was my biggest worry. Honestly, it’s the little details that make it worth it.
I was a little nervous about the 8mm diameter fitting my rook snugly, but the 16g hoop sits perfectly and the little star detail is so dainty it catches the light just right. It’s been in for a few weeks now with zero irritation, and it honestly feels like the most magical piece in my setup.
