Artisan 18 gauge hammered textured nose ring in your choice of Argentium Silver or 14k Gold Filled (Rose or Yellow). This endless hoop can also be worn in the lobe or cartilage - depending on your piercing and size selected (see below). The photos do not do them justice as the texture is pretty awesome when the light hits them.
After hand forming the hoop with 18 gauge wire of your choice, I hammer one side and give it plenty of texture for sparkle and shine (the other side is fairly flat as in the photo), file the ends for comfort and finish with a tumble polish. To wear, as seen in the photos, gently twist apart side to side, insert the hoop then twist back to align and close.
Quantity: 1 single 18g hoop ring
Size selection of: 7mm, *8mm, 9mm or 10mm (approximate measurements):
7mm inner diameter (1/4")
9mm outer diameter (under 3/8")

10mm outer diameter (3/8")

Note: Argentium Silver is hypoallergenic, highly tarnish resistant (with proper care), brighter than white gold or platinum, purer than sterling silver, and is made from certified recycled silver. It is actually closer to fine silver.

♦HANDMADE UPON ORDER
By my two hands for each customer - not kept in stock. Please allow for possible slight variations from the representation photos shown.
♦PLEASE NOTE:
Nose jewelry (considered Intimate items - for health/hygiene reasons) are not returnable or refundable.
♦WIRE GAUGE NOSE:
18g and 20g is considered the norm.
♦SIZING INFO FOR NOSE
If you’re not sure what diameter size nose hoop you need, you can measure it with a metric ruler. Place the ruler on your nose and measure the distance between the piercing hole and the edge of your nostril, then add a millimeter so that the ring isn’t resting against your nostril (unless you like a snug fit). Or you can go to any piercing shop and have them measure for you. The measurement taken will be the inner diameter needed.
I wear an 18g 8mm ID nose hoop, but it depends on how far up your nose piercing is on what works for you and your preference. I have some customers that like to wear tight to loose fitting nose hoops.
♦WIRE GAUGE - EARS:
20g is considered the norm for lobe piercings (the lower the number the thicker the wire). 18g is a good choice if your lobes are a little stretched out.
♦NICKEL FREE WIRE
Yes, all the metals I use are nickel free :)
♦PHOTOS:
I take all photos up close in natural lighting. Due to viewing devices vary, sizes & colors may appear larger/smaller or lighter/darker than they are. Please know that I do my best to describe them as much as possible.
♦JEWELRY CARE:
Some types of metal jewelry naturally tarnish, but with proper care you can keep it looking good for a long time.
- keep free from chemicals (hair products, lotions, oils, chlorine, etc.)
- store in a clean dry compartment (zip bag included)
- *most tarnish can be removed with either store bought products (polishing cloth, etc.), soap & water or homemade recipes (look online for the applicable cleaner for the metal of your jewelry).
*for jewelry that has been oxidized/antiqued, do NOT use any cleaner or polishing cloth as that will remove the intended oxidation.
