About your octopus nose ring
This miniature octopus has a rounded head above a compact outline of short, curved arms. Its smooth surface is left plain, with no engraved face, sucker details or gemstones, keeping the design simple and softly rounded.
If you enjoy ocean-inspired jewellery, this tiny octopus nostril hoop brings a playful sea-life detail to your everyday look. Pair it with plain gold pieces, or choose it as a thoughtful gift for someone who loves octopuses.
1. Why you’ll love it
This octopus nose hoop gives a simple gold ring a little marine character. The approximately 3mm motif is fixed to the hoop itself, so there is no dangling charm. Its compact arms and rounded head create a cute, stylised design.
Wear it alone for one small detail, or pair it with understated gold jewellery. It is a lovely choice if you enjoy animal nose rings or sea-life jewellery with a clean, polished finish.
2. Solid gold, never plated
The octopus and hoop are both made from genuine 14ct solid gold, rather than a gold coating over another metal. This solid gold octopus nostril ring is nickel-free and handmade to order for a fully healed nostril piercing.
- Yellow gold for a warm, sunny glow
- White gold for a cool, clean finish
- Rose gold for a soft hint of pink
The octopus is a polished solid-gold shape with no gemstone or stone setting, allowing its rounded silhouette to remain the main detail.
3. Choose your fit
Start with how you like a nose hoop to sit. A smaller inner diameter will usually sit closer, while a larger one gives a little more room. Your piercing position and anatomy also affect the final look, so the same size can sit differently from person to person.
You can choose a 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10mm inner diameter. If you already have a hoop that fits just the way you like, measuring across its inside edge is the easiest place to start.
For the wire thickness, choose the same gauge as the jewellery you already wear:
- 18G = 1.0mm
- 20G = 0.8mm
The octopus measures approximately 3mm and does not change the stated inner diameter. If you are unsure about your gauge, your piercer can check it for you.
4. How to wear it
This octopus nose ring hoop is made for a fully healed nostril piercing.
When you are ready to put it in, gently twist the two ends sideways in opposite directions. Pulling them straight apart can change the shape of the circle, so it helps to hold the hoop itself rather than the octopus.
Once one end is through your piercing, gently twist the ends back into alignment. If you would feel more comfortable with a little help, a professional piercer can fit it for you.
