16 Gauge Brass Double Crystal Bendable Hoop Ring

I purchased this as a nose ring but I’m unable to get it through! It is very strong and hard to twist to open and put in nostril.

Sadly was too big for tragus piercing, even though it stated it was suitable for the tragus. A shame as it’s a lovely piece.

The crystals are not sparkly and it is very small. I bought this as a Christmas gift so am hoping it will actually fit.
