Septum piercings have surged in popularity, becoming a stylish and edgy choice for both men and women. As a versatile and unique piercing, the septum can be adorned with a variety of jewelry types to match your personal style. This guide from Shemisli will help you explore different types of septum jewelry, how to wear and style them, care tips, and healing advice.

Types of Septum Jewelry

Clickers:

Description: Clicker rings have a hinged mechanism that makes them simple to insert and remove. They come in a wide range of designs, allowing for both comfort and unique style.

Best For: Unique designs and ease of use.

Seam Rings or Seamless Rings:

Description: Seam rings and seamless rings are often confused, but they are distinct. A seamless ring, typically a clicker, is easy to open and close. In contrast, a seam ring, like our 14k gold-filled nose ring, requires bending to open and close. While this may seem less convenient, the delicate nature and thin precious metal of seam rings are what many people appreciate. These rings offer a flush fit against the septum, delivering a sleek and understated look, ideal for those who favor a subtle and elegant style

Best For: A daintier, more understated appearance.

Circular Barbells:

Description: Also known as horseshoe barbells, these do not form a complete circle and feature two beads or decorative ends. They offer a bold and distinctive look.

Best For: A bold and edgy style.

Wearing septum jewelry involves careful insertion to avoid discomfort or injury:

Clean Your Hands and Jewelry: Always start with clean hands and sanitized jewelry.

Insert the Jewelry: Gently guide the jewelry through the septum piercing hole. For clickers and seam rings, ensure they are securely closed.

Adjust as Needed: If using a circular barbell, you can carefully flip it upwards to hide the piercing when needed.

How to Style Septum Jewelry:

Styling your septum jewelry can enhance your overall look:

Minimalist Style: Choose small, seamless rings or subtle clickers for a clean and elegant appearance.
