Why 14K Gold
A nostril piercing sits on one of the most visible parts of your face — and it's in constant contact with moisture, oils, and the elements. Plated metals can tarnish, flake, and expose a reactive base layer over time. 14K solid gold has no surface coating designed to wear away.
Our nose rings are crafted from genuine 14K gold wire — 58.3% pure gold alloyed for strength. They are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, making them a considered choice for healed piercings and sensitive skin.

Gold-Plated
Coating can wear off over time, exposing a base metal layer that may cause irritation for some wearers.
Surgical Steel
Some stainless or surgical steel jewellery may contain nickel, which can be a concern for sensitive wearers.

For many healed nostril piercings, 8mm is a common everyday starting point. Choose 6mm or 7mm for a closer fit, and 9mm or 10mm if your piercing sits higher, your nostril is wider, or you prefer a roomier look.
To estimate your size, measure from the centre of your piercing hole to the outer edge of your nostril. Use this measurement as your starting point. Choose a slightly smaller diameter for a closer look, or go slightly larger if your piercing sits higher, your nostril is wider, or you prefer more room.
The diameter of a nose hoop refers to the inner measurement across the ring — from one inside edge to the other. A smaller diameter (e.g. 6mm) sits closer to your nostril, while a larger one (e.g. 10mm) creates a more visible loop. It is different from gauge, which measures the thickness of the wire itself.
Place a ruler or measuring tape from the centre of your piercing hole to the outer edge of your nostril. This distance gives you a baseline. Choose a slightly smaller diameter for a closer look, or go slightly larger if your piercing sits higher or you prefer more room. If you already wear a hoop, measure its inner diameter and use that as a reference.
14K solid gold is a strong everyday option for healed nostril piercings because it is not plated or gold-filled. Stepoy rings are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, which makes them a considered choice for sensitive wearers. If you have known metal sensitivities or your piercing is irritated, ask your piercer before changing jewellery.
Most nostril piercings in the UK are pierced at 20G, which is the most common gauge. 18G is slightly thicker and gives a slightly more substantial look. 22G is the finest option for a very delicate appearance. If you are unsure, check with your piercer or go with 20G.
No. This seamless hoop is intended for fully healed nostril piercings only. If your piercing is still healing, irritated, sore, or you are unsure whether it is ready for a hoop, keep your current jewellery in place and ask your piercer first.
Gently twist the two ends apart (do not pull them away from each other — twist in opposite directions). Slide one end through your piercing, then twist the ends back together until the ring sits seamlessly. The join should be virtually invisible. If you are struggling, warm the ring slightly in your hands first to make the gold more pliable.
