Sizing
- Please always check the product description carefully before placing your order.
- We mention the product dimensions clearly so you know exactly what you're getting.
- Since our nose rings and jewelry are handmade, there might be a slight variation from the listed size—but it's very minor.
- The jewelry shown on the model or mannequin (dummy) face is meant to give a visual reference of the actual size—so it should help you assess how big or small it will appear on you.
- Still unsure? Feel free to contact us anytime for exact size details.
Great question! The only difference between right and left screw nose rings is the direction of the twist. They're designed to match the side of your nose that’s pierced.
👉 If your right nostril is pierced, go for a right screw.
👉 If your left nostril is pierced, choose a left screw.
This ensures a comfy fit and helps the nose ring sit perfectly in place.
Not at all! Upper and lower L bends can be worn on either nostril—they’re universal in that way.
Upper L bend means the bar tip sits toward the upper part of your nose.
Lower L bend has the bar tip resting toward the lower part.
It’s more about what feels better for you and how you'd like it to sit.
- Gauge means how thick the jewelry bar is.
- The smaller the number, the thicker the
jewelry.
Example:
- 22 gauge = thinner
- 20 gauge = thicker than 22G
- 18 gauge = thicker than 20G
Common gauge sizes:
- 22 gauge (0.60 MM)
- 20 gauge (0.80 MM)
- 18 gauge (1.00 MM)
- 16 gauge (1.20 MM)
- If you're unsure about your gauge, ask your piercer or use a caliper (not a regular ruler) to measure it.
Inner diameter is the inside width of a hoop, measured straight across.
Standard sizes we offer:
- 6mm = small fit
- 8mm = fits most people
- 12mm = large fit
For custom sizes, please contact us or
leave a note with your order!
20 gauge (20G) is the standard size we recommend based on most buyers’ experience.
If you’re not sure about your size:
- Compare it with a nose ring you already have.
- Or ask your piercer for the correct gauge.
We offer different nose ring styles depending on your preference and piercing side:
- Left Screw:
Best if your left nostril is pierced.
- Right Screw:
Best if your right nostril is pierced.
- L Shape Nose Stud:
Bent like an “L” to sit firmly inside your nostril.
Great for new piercings or if you change
jewelry often.
- Two types:
- Upper L Bend: Bar tip turns towards the top of your nose.
- Lower L Bend: Bar tip turns towards the bottom of your nose.
- Back Screw Nose Stud:
Has a screw-on back to secure easily.
- Use a caliper to measure the thickness (gauge) and the inner diameter (for hoops).
- For studs, measure the length of the post if needed.
- A regular ruler may not give accurate gauge size, so it’s better to consult a piercer for exact measurements.
- If the jewelry is too thin, it may fall out easily or cause migration.
- If it's too thick, it can hurt or stretch your piercing unnecessarily.
- Always try to wear the correct gauge that matches your original piercing size.
- Measure from the piercing hole to the edge of your nostril (straight line).
- Add 1mm to 2mm extra space for a comfortable fit.
- If unsure, 8mm is the most common standard fit for nostril hoops.
- Yes, since our jewelry is handcrafted, there can be very slight variations in size.
- But we try our best to keep it very close to the listed measurements.
Absolutely! If you need a specific gauge, diameter, or length, please contact us or leave a note at checkout.
