It’s the fuel of every Nan’s nightmares and the ultimate sign of the jewellery stack of cool-girls. The nose ring has long held an appeal for many lovers of edgy jewellery and maximalist styles, and it’s developing a reputation well beyond the punk-rock world of its humble origin. With the latest trend developments leaning towards nose rings as the next must-have accessory, these effortlessly cool pieces are the ones to add to every jewellery collection.
Far outside the punk-rock music scene, where London bred out-there style and edgy fashion choices, nose rings are becoming a trendy choice that blends understated minimalism with bold personal expression. Delicate hoops are a timeless choice, chosen for their versatility and easy styling, while septum rings with delicate gemstones bring new life to these tried-and-true pieces. Curating nose stacks with multiple pieces creates an artful, layered impact, and a new wave of people are mixing metals in their nose pieces for a contemporary look that’s filled with flair.
With a freshly paired nose and the delicate nature of the skin around this area, it’s essential to ensure the jewellery you pick is suitable for this sensitive skin. Whilst we’re as excited as you are about mixing and matching nose piercings to suit your newfound look, we want to ensure that your piercing stays safe and free from infection. The jeweller who pierced your nose will be able to assist you with understanding the timeline for your particular piercing, but we recommend waiting at least two months before changing out your piercing for a new piece. Whilst you’re waiting for your nose to heal, swapping out your earrings for a pair of our statement ones can help to scratch the itch for change.
There’s nothing more upsetting than getting a fresh haircut and having a total of zero people comment on it, and the same narrative applies to a minimalist nose ring. To ensure your dainty piece stands out, we recommend keeping other jewellery minimal surrounding it. Our collection of fine jewellery is the perfect way to build a stack that is full of flair yet understated enough to showcase the piece you want front and centre. We also recommend opting for a bright metal, as the shine of the piece will ensure that everyone notices it.
There’s no piece more necessary to be hypoallergenic than that of a nose stud. The nose has some of the most sensitive skin on the face and neck, and a nose infection or irritation is one of the most discomforting feelings imaginable (we’d recommend avoiding it at all costs). Our range of hypoallergenic jewellery is all waterproof and suitable for the most sensitive of skin, meaning that you won’t be at risk of any infection or discomfort whilst wearing it. As with all piercings, keeping them clean is key to avoiding infection. However, knowing that you’re wearing high-quality pieces that won’t cause harm can help you sleep a little easier.
Whether you’re someone who likes one statement piece in your face, or your preference is to set off every metal detector within a three-mile radius, wearing nose rings with other facial jewellery can make an effortlessly cool statement that’s as edgy as it is stylish. If you’re someone who loves a stacked ear full of standout pieces, our cartilage earrings are the perfect option to ensure optimal comfort and safety, all in the name of style. Wearing a nose ring with several other pieces may cause Nan to give you a lecture, but you’ll get the thumbs up from us and every other fashion-forward creative every time.
Deciding to get a piece of nose piercing jewellery is the first exciting step towards fully embracing the statement trends of this year, but trying to choose between a hoop or a stud can leave you feeling stuck. This year, an increasing number of edgy jewellery wearers are opting for stud nose rings as their preferred nose piercing, as the personality these pieces convey aligns more closely with the overall trends of this year. Pairing a nose stud charm with one of our charm bracelets is the perfect combination of self-identity and effortlessly cool style, and we know you’ll be looking to add more to your collection in no time.
With the nose being one of the most sensitive areas of the body for jewellery, we knew that we had to use only the highest quality metals and materials for our minimalist nose jewellery pieces. The 18k gold vermeil we use for our gold nose rings is durable, hypoallergenic, and lustrous, ensuring your pieces will never tarnish. The 925 sterling silver we use to craft our silver nose rings is rhodium-treated, making it safer for the skin and more resistant to oxidation. Any gemstones we integrate are ethically sourced and AAA-rated, which means they’re the highest quality possible on the commercial market.
