Your Guide to Septum Jewelry

When it comes to septum jewelry, there’s a variety of styles to choose from. Popular options include:

Septum Rings: These can be simple or intricately detailed, depending on your style.

Clickers: Featuring a hinged closure, clickers are easy to insert and remove.

Horseshoe Barbells: Also known as circular barbells, these U-shaped pieces offer versatility and can be flipped to hide your piercing when necessary.

Septum Retainers: Made from clear or skin-tone materials, these retainers keep your piercing open without being noticeable.

Choosing the Right Septum Piercing Material for Comfort and Safety

Selecting the correct material for your septum jewelry is important for both comfort and safety. Common materials include:

Surgical Steel: One of the most popular options, surgical steel is affordable, durable, and hypoallergenic.

Titanium: Ideal for sensitive skin, titanium is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and available in various colors.

Gold: For a touch of luxury, choose real gold or high-quality gold-plated pieces to avoid irritation.

Finding the Right Size: Gauges and Diameters

When shopping for septum-piercing jewelry, size matters. The size you need depends on both the gauge (thickness) of the jewelry and the diameter (width). Most septum piercings are done at either 16 gauge (thinner) or 14 gauge (thicker). It’s best to stick with the gauge your piercer used, especially during healing.

Diameter: The diameter of your jewelry affects how it sits on your nose. A larger diameter creates a looser, more noticeable look, while a smaller diameter hugs closer to your nostrils. Standard diameters range from 8mm to 10mm, but it’s about your personal preference.

If you’re unsure of what size to get, it’s always a good idea to ask your piercer. They can measure your piercing and help you find the perfect fit.
