Personal Preference is Key

Your nose jewelry should reflect your personal style and comfort. Before focusing on measurements, consider what resonates with you. If a piece feels right, it’s the perfect size for you.

Consider the Occasion and Your Mood

Your nose jewelry can tell a story. For everyday wear or professional settings, a subtle piece may be ideal. For a night out or special event, a more elaborate design can make a striking statement. Let your jewelry reflect your mood and the occasion.

Online Shopping Tips

Shopping for nose jewelry online can be tricky since you can’t physically handle the pieces.
To make it easier, measure your current jewelry with a ruler and compare it to the dimensions provided in product descriptions.
If you don’t have jewelry to measure, draw and cut out a shape of the desired size on paper and hold it up to your nose for a visual reference.

Experimentation is Encouraged

Don’t be afraid to try different sizes and styles. Experimenting with various pieces helps you discover what best complements your features and personal style.
Whether it’s a sleek stud or a hoop, the right size is the one that makes you feel confident.

Ultimately, you know what works best for you. Trust your instincts and enjoy the process of finding the perfect nose jewelry.
At Shemisli Jewels, we believe size is an opportunity for self-expression. So, whether you prefer petite studs or bold rings, wear your chosen piece with pride!

Caring for Your Nose Jewelry: Cleaning and Storage Tips

Proper care is essential to keep your nose jewelry looking its best. Here are some tips to maintain your nose rings and studs:

Cleaning Your Nose Jewelry

Regular cleaning is crucial for hygiene and to maintain the shine of your nose jewelry.
Use a mild soap and warm water to clean your jewelry.
Gently scrub with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean cloth.
For deeper cleaning, Use rubbing alcohol to soak it in for 1 minute and gently rub to remove buildups.

Storing Your Nose Jewelry

Proper storage prevents damage and keeps your jewelry organized.

Understanding Gauge, Length, and Diameter

Choosing the right size nose jewelry involves understanding the terms gauge, length, and diameter. Here’s a quick guide:

Gauge: This refers to the thickness of the jewelry. Common sizes for nose rings are 20 gauge (0.8mm) and 18 gauge (1mm). The gauge you choose should match the size of your piercing.
Length: For nose studs, the length is the part that sits inside the piercing. Standard lengths are around 6mm, but sizes may vary based on personal anatomy.
Diameter: For nose hoops, the diameter is the distance across the ring. Common sizes are 8mm and 10mm. Measure your current jewelry or consult a piercer to find the ideal diameter for your nose.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Stud Doesn’t Sit Flat: Check the rise of your nose jewelry. You may need a different length to ensure a snug fit.
Flat Back Studs: Designed for a sleek, secure fit, these nose studs sit flush against the skin, ideal for a minimalist look and comfortable wear.

FAQ for Nose Jewelry

What are the different types of nose piercings?

Nose piercings include nostril piercings, septum piercings, and high nostril piercings. Each type allows for different styles of nose jewelry, such as studs, hoops, and rings.

How do I choose the right size for nose jewelry?

Choosing the right size involves considering the gauge (thickness) and diameter or length of the jewelry. Most nostrile piercings use a 20-18 gauge size, septum piercings use 16 gauge, but it's best to consult with your piercer for the ideal size for your specific piercing.

How can I care for my nose jewelry to prevent infections?

Keep your nose piercing clean by washing it twice daily with a saline solution. Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands and refrain from rotating the jewelry to minimize irritation.

Can I change my nose jewelry myself?

Yes, you can change your nose jewelry yourself, but it's important to wait until the piercing is fully healed. This can take anywhere from a few months to a year. If you're unsure, consult with your piercer.

What materials are best for sensitive skin?

Hypoallergenic materials like titanium, surgical steel, niobium, and 14k gold are ideal for sensitive skin as they minimize the risk of irritation and allergic reactions.

How do I know if my nose piercing is infected?

Signs of infection include redness, swelling, pain, and discharge of pus. If you notice these symptoms, seek advice from a professional piercer or healthcare provider promptly.

Can I wear nose jewelry during sports or physical activities?

It's advisable to remove nose jewelry during contact sports or activities where there's a risk of it getting caught or pulled. For non-contact activities, secure and low-profile jewelry is generally safe to wear.

What is the difference between a nose ring and a nose stud?

A nose ring is a circular piece of jewelry that can be a hoop or a segment ring, while a nose stud is a straight or slightly curved post with a decorative end that sits on the outside of the nostril.

How do I measure my nose jewelry?

To measure a nose hoop, measure the internal diameter from edge to edge. For a stud, measure the length of the post. It's useful to measure existing jewelry that fits well as a reference.

Are there any risks associated with nose piercings?

Risks include infection, allergic reactions, and scarring. To minimize these risks, choose a professional piercer, follow aftercare instructions diligently, and use high-quality materials for your jewelry.

How do I choose the right nose jewelry for my face shape?

Consider the size and placement of your nose piercing in relation to your facial features. Small, delicate studs or hoops can complement smaller noses, while larger or more ornate pieces can suit larger or more prominent noses.

Can I swim with a new nose piercing?

It's best to avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, and natural bodies of water until your piercing is fully healed to prevent infection. If you must swim, use a waterproof bandage to cover the piercing.
