Product Information

The cost of a piercing depends on your location and who you visit. It’s always worth spending the extra few pounds to save time and money in the long run should your piercing become inflamed or infected due to an improper piercing technique. Piercers usually use an 18- or 20-gauge needle for nose ring piercings. An 8 mm and 10 mm nose hoop are the most common sizes. However, your size might differ depending on how high your piercing is placed. Which is bigger 18 or 20 gauge nose ring? The 'size' refers to the distance between the top ball and the beginning point of the lower decorative part (see the 'Banana' illustration above). Whilst you are likely to only find size 10mm in the high street shops, many of our own belly bars are available in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm and even longer, which means no more pinching or spare bits of bar showing. Simply choose your desired size by selecting from the 'Size' drop-down box. We know that many people need 6mm belly bars, along with sizes 14mm, 16mm and 18mm, and we are constantly striving to increase our selection of these sizes. Say “goodbye” to buying nose rings that are too snug or loose. You can get it right the first time after reading this explainer guide.

That being said, we invite you to browse our selection of nose ring jewelry. Whether you're looking for a simple stud or a statement piece, we have various styles and sizes. Don't settle for a subpar nose ring that doesn't fit correctly — invest in a high-quality piece that looks and feels amazing. So, before you start browsing for nose rings, it's essential to know the type of nose ring you want (which will ultimately depend on your personal style and where you get the nose piercing on your nose; yes, there are different spots!). Nose Studs Seamless nose rings are a popular choice due to their minimalistic look. Unlike other hoop styles with a visible seam, seamless hoops are constructed from a single piece of metal bent into a ring. They're easy to insert and create a sleek, seamless appearance that works well for those wanting a more subtle look. Segments To measure the length, measure your nostril, not just the front. (or ask the piercer to do so if it seems they’re not measuring correctly). If measuring yourself at home, loop the string or measuring tape around your nostril and keep it snug but not too tight.

Types of Nose Rings

Nose ring hoops are measured by internal diameter. Remember that the placement of your piercing hole determines your nose ring’s diameter. L-shaped stud (a single stud that is curved at the end to give it an L shape to hook into the nostril) Do you have a nose ring hoop or stud you feel comfortable wearing? Use it as a reference for all your other jewelry. If you remember the diameter or length of your jewelry when you bought it, you can use those measurements when purchasing new ones. Use gauge and diameter charts The most standard nose ring size is 20 gauge with a 5/16 inch diameter. However, you can find nose rings in other sizes, too. Before you start shopping, measuring your nose is important to find out the size you need. This can be done easily by measuring the distance between your nostrils or consulting with your piercer (but we’ll talk more about this below).

The standard lengths of nose piercings are 1/4” (6.35 mm) to 5/16” (7.94 mm). However, when you initially get your piercing, you’ll have to wear a stud with a longer post to give room for swelling. Your nose ring is too small if it’s touching your nostril and creating pressure on it. Also, if you can’t close the ring or find it hard to take off, it’s likely the wrong diameter for your nose piercing. Why does my nose ring keep popping out?Physical jewelry stores typically have a gauge and diameter chart. If the jewelry fits comfortably, use the chart to determine your size. Use a ruler or caliper Don’t be tempted to change your jewellery too soon (another downfall of my experience) as this can cause injury and irritation. It’s advised to visit your piercer to get your jewellery changed; this way you know it’s been done correctly. How long does it take to heal and how can you avoid the the dreaded nose bump? Once you understand how different nose ring styles are measured, you can get your exact measurement using these methods. Use previous jewelry Another solution is to seek the help of a professional, such as a piercer or a jeweler. They can insert the nose ring for you and guide how to do it yourself in the future.
