Septum Jewelry: Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do you know which gauge to buy?
The gauge refers to the thickness of the jewelry. Most initial septum piercings are done at 16G (1.2mm), which is the industry standard. If you want a more delicate, thin look, you might downsize to an 18G (1.0mm). For those who prefer a thicker, more visible aesthetic, 14G (1.6mm) is a popular choice. If you are unsure, you can measure your current jewelry or check with your piercer.
2. What is the best material for septum rings?
For the best long-term comfort and health, Implant Grade Titanium (ASTM F136) is the gold standard. It is nickel-free, lightweight, and highly biocompatible. 316L Surgical Steel is also an excellent, durable choice for those without high metal sensitivities who want a classic, mirror-polished shine.
3. Can you stretch septum piercings?
Yes, septum piercings can be stretched, but it should be done slowly and carefully. It is recommended to wait until your piercing is fully healed (usually at least 6 months) before attempting to move up a size. Always use high-quality materials like titanium or steel and give your body several months between each stretch to avoid irritation.
4. Which is better, internally or externally threaded?
Internally threaded jewelry is widely considered superior. With internal threading, the screw is on the ball/end, and the post is smooth. This means the threaded part never passes through your piercing, preventing scrapes or irritation to the delicate tissue. Externally threaded jewelry has the screw on the post itself, which can be abrasive during insertion.
Featured Styles for Every Aesthetic
Captive Bead Rings (CBR): A timeless favorite that uses tension to hold a single bead in place. These offer a 360-degree hoop look with a secure, traditional closure that stays put all day.
Circular Barbells (Horseshoes): The iconic septum silhouette. These feature two removable ends, allowing for a customizable look and the convenient ability to "flip" the jewelry upward to hide the piercing when needed.
Septum Clickers: Designed with a straight post that "clicks" into a decorative outer rim. Clickers are perfect for those who want a bold, ornamental aesthetic that sits comfortably against the bottom of the nose.
Hinged Segment Rings: Combining the look of a seamless hoop with the ease of a clicker. The hinged section opens and closes effortlessly, providing a smooth, continuous circle without the need for pliers or loose beads.
Jewelry Care & Cleaning Guide
Maintaining the hygiene of your jewelry is just as important as the jewelry itself. Here is how to keep your pieces looking new and your piercing healthy.
Titanium & Surgical Steel: These metals are highly durable and easy to maintain. Clean your jewelry using warm water and a mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Use a soft-bristled brush (like a dedicated jewelry brush or a soft toothbrush) to gently remove any buildup. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean lint-free cloth or paper towel to maintain that mirror-like shine.
Acrylic Jewelry: Acrylic is more delicate and porous than metal. Never use alcohol or harsh chemicals on acrylic, as it can cause the material to crack or "craze." Clean these pieces using only lukewarm water and mild soap. Ensure the water is not boiling, as extreme heat can warp or damage the shape of acrylic jewelry.
