Lapis Cradled in Sterling Silver Nose Stud

Big, juicy, genuine lapis wins this one!

I've cradled a lapis gemstone in this beautifully decorated sterling silver cup. If you like your gemstones bold and unmistakable, this nose stud has your name all over it.

• about 5mm round (3/16")

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.
