Septum piercings have gone from subculture symbols to high-fashion essentials. From runway models to influencers and everyday style-lovers, more people are embracing this bold yet versatile facial piercing. But getting a septum piercing is just the beginning—selecting the right septum piercing jewelry can make all the difference in comfort, style, and healing.
Whether you're buying your first septum clicker or looking to upgrade to a luxurious gold septum ring, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know before you buy. If you're serious about style and safety, FreshTrends is the destination for 14k gold and diamond septum jewelry crafted for quality and elegance.
What Is Septum Piercing Jewelry?
A septum piercing goes through the soft tissue between the nostrils—also called the "sweet spot." Unlike nostril piercings that go through cartilage, septum piercings offer more flexibility in jewelry choice due to their placement and structure.
Common Types of Septum Jewelry:
- Clickers: Hinge-style rings that snap shut for easy wear. Great for statement styles or gem accents.
- Seamless Rings: Circular rings without a clasp, offering a minimalist and smooth look.
- Captive Bead Rings: Circular rings with a center bead held in place by tension—perfect for classic or edgy styles.
Each type has its own aesthetic, so choose one that matches your vibe and comfort level.
Popular Materials for Septum Jewelry
Your septum jewelry isn’t just about looks—it’s about health and longevity. Cheap or low-grade materials can cause irritation or infection. That’s why high-end options like 14k gold and diamonds are highly recommended, especially for first-time wearers or sensitive skin.
Why 14k Gold Is a Top Choice
- Hypoallergenic: Ideal for those with metal sensitivities
- Durable & Timeless: Doesn’t tarnish or discolor
- Safe for Fresh Piercings: Reduces the risk of irritation and infection
At FreshTrends, you’ll find handcrafted gold body jewelry that combines safety and style in every piece.
Yellow, White, or Rose Gold: What’s the Difference?
- Yellow Gold: A warm, classic tone
- White Gold: Sleek and modern; often rhodium-plated
- Rose Gold: Romantic and trendy, with a pink hue that flatters all skin tones
Each color brings a unique personality to your septum look.
Diamond Septum Rings: When You Want to Elevate Your Look
Want to add sparkle? A diamond septum ring is a bold yet elegant choice. From petite accents to multi-stone designs, diamonds elevate your piercing without going over the top. They're especially popular for weddings, events, or everyday luxury.
How to Choose the Right Size and Style
Understand Gauge and Diameter
- Gauge refers to the thickness of the jewelry post. Most septum piercings are done at 16G (1.2mm) or 18G (1.0mm).
- Diameter is the width of the ring. Choose based on how snug or loose you want your jewelry to fit beneath your nose.
Face Shape & Style Tips
- Long faces: Try curved clickers or wider rings for balance
- Round faces: Opt for slimmer seamless rings or delicate bead designs
- Minimalists: Go for simple gold seamless rings
- Maximalists: Choose gem-encrusted clickers or intricate shapes
Healing & Aftercare Tips
Getting a septum piercing is one thing; keeping it clean and healthy is another.
Healing Time
- Usually heals in 6 to 8 weeks, but it varies by person
- Avoid touching or rotating the jewelry during this time
Safe Jewelry Switching
- Don’t change jewelry until it’s fully healed
- Always use clean hands and sanitized jewelry
- Consider having a professional do the first switch for you
Watch for Signs of Irritation
- Redness, swelling, or prolonged soreness may indicate an issue
- Stick to piercing gold jewelry (like 14k gold) to minimize risk
- Clean with saline solution and avoid harsh products
