Choosing a Gauge Gauge refers to the thickness of the post that is inserted into the piercing. When choosing a gauge size it’s best to measure one that you already have that fits nicely, with a caliper. If you do not have one, you can use a standard ruler with millimeters. The thickest gauge is 18G. This would be your choice if you have recently had your nose pierced or wear that gauge normally. 20G is thinner than 18G and is the standard, most popular size. 22G is the thinnest post. 14G – 1.6mm (Thickest) 16G – 1.2mm 18G – 1.0mm 20G – 0.8mm 22G – 0.6mm (Thinnest) Choosing a Nose Ring Style Open hoops have a opening within the ring and a small ball on the end to keep the jewelry secure. These can be inserted from the inside of the nostril and threaded through. Seamless hoops offer a cut within the circle that is bent only to insert the jewelry, then bent back for the nose ring to be complete circle within the nose piercing. Segment rings have a small section of the jewelry that is removable for insertions. Clicker rings offer a similar removable segment but the segment remains attached to the ring by a hinge. Septum Rings are designed to wear in the middle section of the nose between the two nostrils. They also come in several hoop designs including segment rings, seamless rings and our most popular, the septum clickers. Choosing a Diameter The diameter of a nose hoop is the distance from inside edge to inside edge across the widest portion of a hoop. If your piercing is higher up, or if your nose is on the large side, a nose ring with a larger diameter would suit you better than one with a small diameter. If you don’t have a hoop to measure that fits you just right, you can measure your piercing with a standard ruler in millimeters. Stand in front of the mirror and place the ruler on your nose to measure the distance between the piercing hole and the edge of the nostril. This will be the smallest inner diameter that you can wear and it will fit snugly. For a looser fit, add 1mm-2mm to your measurement. 1/4″ – 6mm 9/32″ – 7mm 5/16″ – 8mm 3/8″ – 9mm-10mm If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to send us a message through ebay and one of our representatives would be happy to assist you.
