Explore Our Nose Piercing Collection

At Custom Plugs, our nose piercings collection covers both the nostril and the septum — nose hoops, nostril studs, rings, ball closure rings and septum clickers, all in titanium. Whether you've a single nostril, a double, a high nostril or a septum, the right fit comes down to the piece and the gauge.

Studs, Hoops and Rings

A nostril stud is a small top on a post that sits in the nostril — posts usually come as a fishtail (a straight length your piercer bends to fit), an L-bend or a screw/twist, all holding the stud the same way. A hoop or ring gives a visible band around the nostril edge, and for the septum a clicker or horseshoe sits in the sweet spot below the cartilage. This collection is strong on both.

Sizes and Gauges

Fine nostril studs are usually 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm). Nose rings and hoops, and most septum jewellery, step up to 16g (1.2mm). Hoop and ring diameters commonly run 6mm, 8mm and 10mm. It's titanium throughout — light, hypoallergenic and good for sensitive skin — and each product lists its exact gauge and diameter.

Nostril and Septum

The two most common nose piercings take different jewellery. A nostril suits a stud or a hoop, usually finer at 18g (1.0mm) or 20g (0.8mm) for a stud and 16g (1.2mm) for a ring. A septum sits in the soft spot below the cartilage and takes a clicker, horseshoe or ring at 16g (1.2mm), and stretches more readily than a nostril if you'd like a heavier gauge later on.

Choosing Your Nose Jewellery

Match the gauge to your piercing first — a nostril pierced at 20g won't take a 16g ring without stretching. A fishtail or L-bend stud sits neatly in the nostril; a hoop gives a visible ring.

What gauge is a nose piercing?

Fine nostril studs are usually 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm); nose rings, hoops and most septum jewellery are 16g (1.2mm). Match the piece to how your piercing was done.

What fittings do nostril studs come in?

Fishtail (a straight post your piercer bends to fit), L-bend and screw/twist. They all hold the stud the same way, so it comes down to comfort. Nostril studs are usually 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm).

What size hoop fits a nostril?

Nostril hoops commonly run 6mm, 8mm and 10mm in diameter, usually at 16g (1.2mm). The diameter is listed on each product.

Is titanium nose jewellery hypoallergenic?

Yes — titanium is light, hypoallergenic and nickel-free, so it suits people who react to cheaper metals. Nostril studs are usually 20g (0.8mm) or 18g (1.0mm), with rings and septum pieces at 16g (1.2mm).
