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.

All nose rings and nose studs are hand-crafted, and made with sterling silver or 14 karat gold. Browse my collections for all different types of nose rings and studs.

Lovely
This one is large so if you want to go unnoticed this one is not for you, I love this one

Boldly elegant
This stud is beautifully crafted. While it *is* bold, it is as elegant as other studs here. Prepare to thank people for the compliments you’ll receive when you’re wearing this shield. I waited a long time before finally deciding to get this. I’m sorry I delayed! I love it! Highly recommend.
