Quick Size Pointers for UK Nostril & Septum Piercings
Not sure about your size direction?
These pointers help you think about fit before you dive into the detailed size guides.
For nostril hoops
If your piercing sits low, close to the edge of your nostril, a smaller inner diameter will give you a snug, close-fitting hoop.
If your piercing is placed higher on the nostril wing, you will likely need a slightly larger diameter for a comfortable fit — and the hoop will sit with a more relaxed, visible look.
UK nostril piercings are typically done in one of two common gauges: one for a standard everyday hoop, another thinner gauge for a more delicate look.
For UK size charts, mm comparisons and gauge guidance → Nostril Hoop Size GuideFor septum rings
A smaller inner diameter sits very snug against the septum with minimal drop below the nose — almost invisible from certain angles.
A mid-range diameter gives a balanced everyday look, and is where many healed septum piercings start when switching to a seamless hoop.
A larger diameter means more visible drop below the nose for a bolder, statement look.
For mm comparisons, gauge advice and at-home measuring steps → Septum Ring Size GuideUnderstanding Our Sizing
Two numbers, one perfect fit
Every STEPOY nose ring is defined by two measurements: inner diameter and gauge. These are the same units used by UK piercers and referenced throughout our size guides, so once you know your numbers you can match them directly to any product listing.

Common Questions · UK Customers
About our gold nose rings
Yes. All our nose rings are measured by inner diameter in millimetres and standard gauges — the same units used by UK piercers. This makes it straightforward to match your existing piercing to the right ring, whether you measured yourself or had your piercer check for you.
Every ring is handmade to order in the UK and shipped via Royal Mail with tracking and insurance. There is no overseas wait — orders are dispatched within our stated lead time and delivered to customers in London and across the UK with free standard delivery.
Yes. Once your nostril or septum piercing is fully healed, 14K solid gold is suitable for round-the-clock wear — including sleeping, showering and exercise. Because the gold is solid throughout (not plated), it will not degrade against your skin over time. For detailed healing and fit advice, see our nostril or septum size guide.
If you are between two inner diameters, the slightly larger one is usually the safer choice — a hoop that is a little too roomy is more comfortable than one that is too tight. For personalised advice, check our nostril or septum size guide, or contact us before ordering and we will help you narrow it down.
Our rings are made from 14K solid gold with a nickel-free formulation, designed with UK nickel regulations and APP guidelines in mind. They are a suitable option for healed piercings that react easily to lower-quality metals, plated jewellery or surgical steel.
