Butterfly Opal Nose Stud in Sterling Silver

If bold is your style, you won't be disappointed by this unique opal nose stud. Creative, fun, opulent and designed for impact, this piece will not go unnoticed.

I handcraft these nose studs to order in nickel free sterling silver and set them with a lab created opal cabochon. No matter what orientation it takes on your nose, it's just right.

• gemstone is 3mm (just over 1/8") and is lab created opal
• total size is about 11mm x 7mm (7/16" x 1/4" approx)
• nickel free sterling silver

How To Choose Your Nose Stud Gauge and End Style

What is the nose jewelry gauge?

Gauge is the thickness of the part that goes through your piercing
20G is about the thickness of a regular earring post
18G is thicker than 20G
22G is thinner than 18G and 20G
24G is thinner yet

If you’re not sure, your own piercer, or a local piercer should be able to tell you your gauge

What are the different nose stud ends?

Screw ends point toward septum (see photos)
Screw end for left is your left nostril
Screw end for right is your right nostril
Bone ends are not threaded - they are a solid ball 
Shaft lengths are 6.5mm
L ends are a straight shaft of 6.5’’ with a 5mm ‘tail’ 
Fishtail is a straight shaft of 17mm

 If you have specialized requests for either gauge or end styles – for example 16G nose studs, or longer or shorter shaft lengths for nose studs, please contact me to discuss possible options.
