💡 How to choose your size: 20G (0.8mm) is the most common gauge for nose piercings and fits most standard piercings. The 7mm post length accommodates most nostril thicknesses comfortably. If you have thicker cartilage or a healing piercing with swelling, you may need a longer post (10mm). When in doubt, consult with your professional piercer for the best fit.
💡 Care Instructions
💡 Clean regularly with saline solution or mild soap and warm water — gently pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth
💡 Avoid harsh chemicals such as perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions directly on the jewelry to preserve the crystal’s sparkle
💡 Remove before sleeping if you find it uncomfortable, or before contact sports to prevent accidental snagging
💡 Store properly in a dry jewelry box or pouch when not wearing — keep away from direct sunlight and moisture
💡 Check regularly the threaded ball to ensure it’s secure — tighten gently if needed
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this nose stud safe for a new or healing piercing?
A: No, this CZ nose stud is only suitable for fully healed piercings. For fresh nose piercings, we recommend waiting until fully healed (6-8 weeks for nostril piercings) before wearing decorative jewelry. Initial piercings should use plain implant-grade titanium or biocompatible retainers.
Q: Can I wear this as a lip ring or cartilage earring?
A: Yes! This versatile stud is designed for multiple piercing types including nose, lip (labret/monroe/medusa), cartilage (helix/tragus/daith), and even eyebrow piercings, as long as the 20G gauge and 7mm length are appropriate for your specific piercing. Always check with your piercer if unsure.
Q: Will the cubic zirconia crystal fall out?
A: The CZ crystal is securely set in a prong setting designed for long-term wear. However, avoid pulling, catching it on clothing, or exposing it to harsh impacts. With proper care and gentle handling, the crystal will stay securely in place for years of wear.
Q: What gauge is this nose stud? Will it fit my piercing?
A: This is 20G (0.8mm), which is the standard size for most nose piercings in the US and Europe. If your piercing was done at 18G (1.0mm) or a different gauge, this stud may feel loose. If you’re unsure of your piercing gauge, consult with your professional piercer before ordering.
Q: Can I wear this in the shower or while swimming?
A: Yes! 316L surgical steel is waterproof and resistant to corrosion from water, chlorine, and salt. However, we recommend rinsing with fresh water after swimming in chlorinated pools or salt water, and drying thoroughly to maintain the jewelry’s shine and prevent any buildup.
Q: How do I choose a color? Are all colors the same quality?
A: All 5 colors (Purple, Blue, Pink, Green, White) use the same high-quality cubic zirconia and setting — the only difference is the color. Choose based on your personal style, favorite color, or to match your outfit! Many customers buy multiple colors to rotate based on their mood. All colors are priced the same at $9.99.
