Simplicity meets design in this hammered septum ring. Perfect for a minimal look, it features clean lines, and the hand hammering gives it a bit of an edge. If you're looking for something unique without being 'over the top', this is your ring.

Handcrafted in nickel free sterling silver, I make each of these to order, so you can choose the ring that’s just right for you. These are incredibly versatile and can also be worn as a nose ring.

What is the usual thickness for a septum piercing or a nostril piercing?

Septum piercings are usually 18G or 16G
Nostril piercings are usually 20G or 18G

How to pick a great nose ring:
1. Pick your Nose Ring Size
• measure from your piercing hole to the bottom of your nostril or septum
• consider the thickness of your nostril or septum – 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 Nose Ring Gauge
• gauge means how thick the wire is
• 22G is thinner & daintier, 20G is standard, and 18G is thicker
• 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

3. Pick your Nose Ring Material
• are you a silver nose ring person? A gold nose ring person? Solid gold, or gold filled? Maybe niobium is just right for you.
• create different looks with different metals – the choice is all yours.
• all of my nose rings are nickel free
