This means no more excess bar showing! Simply choose your desired size by selecting from the 'Size' drop-down box.

We’ve broken everything down for you below. Gauge You need to understand the different sizing styles of particular types of nose jewelry to get the perfectly sized ring for your piercing. Let’s discuss the sizing styles below. Nose ring gauge sizes Piercers usually use an 18- or 20-gauge needle for nose ring piercings. An 8 mm and 10 mm nose hoop are the most common sizes. However, your size might differ depending on how high your piercing is placed. Which is bigger 18 or 20 gauge nose ring?

Physical jewelry stores typically have a gauge and diameter chart. If the jewelry fits comfortably, use the chart to determine your size. Use a ruler or caliper To measure the length, measure your nostril, not just the front. (or ask the piercer to do so if it seems they’re not measuring correctly). If measuring yourself at home, loop the string or measuring tape around your nostril and keep it snug but not too tight. A bigger-sized gauge will not go through your piercing, and a thinner gauge ring will look unsightly with ample space around it. Nose ring gauge sizes apply to all types of nose ring styles.Nose ring hoops are measured by internal diameter. Remember that the placement of your piercing hole determines your nose ring’s diameter. The most basic type of nose ring, a stud, is a straight post with a small gem or ball at the end. They're perfect for those just starting with nose piercings or who prefer a simple yet elegant look. L-Shaped Prong If your nose ring is too small, it can be uncomfortable and even cause irritation. It's important to find a nose ring size that fits comfortably and doesn't cause any discomfort. If your nose ring is too small, try going up a size. It's also a good idea to look for nose rings with a longer post, providing more comfort and a better fit.

It’s advised to visit your piercer to get your jewellery changed; this way you know it’s been done correctly. How long does it take to heal and how can you avoid the the dreaded nose bump?

Inserting a nose ring can be challenging, especially if it's your first time or the ring is too small (or your nose hasn’t properly healed from the piercing). One solution to this issue is to use a lubricant such as petroleum jelly or water-based lubricant. This will make inserting the nose ring easier and less painful.CBR/BCR: The Captive Bead Ring or Ball Closure Ring is used in many types of piercing. It can be placed in a nose piercing and is held together by a ball with two small indents for placing onto the ring. L-shaped stud (a single stud that is curved at the end to give it an L shape to hook into the nostril) Once your nose piercing is fully healed, you’ll want to play with different ring styles. However, finding the perfect nose ring size can seem like an extreme sport, especially if you’re shopping online. Length is another important factor. It's measured from the base of the ball or charm (where it connects to the post) to the tip of the piercing. You want to ensure the nose ring isn't too long or too short, or it can cause discomfort or irritation.

You also need to avoid swimming in pools, lakes or using hot tubs for the first couple of months as all of these harbour bacteria, which could cause infection,” Bond explains. Seamless nose rings are a popular choice due to their minimalistic look. Unlike other hoop styles with a visible seam, seamless hoops are constructed from a single piece of metal bent into a ring. They're easy to insert and create a sleek, seamless appearance that works well for those wanting a more subtle look. Segments Note that these are pretty much the same as the diameter measurements. However, length refers to the stud jewelry itself. And, as you can see, the length of a nose piercing can be a bit longer, with the longest extending to be at least 1 ½ inches. How to Measure Your Nose Ring SizeShe also recommends not sleeping on your nose piercing or touching it. Basically: be smart about aftercare and you should heal up with minimal nose bumps. Having said that, if you do get a bump, visit your piercer for further advice, or if it’s really severe, seek medical advice. What’s the average cost?
