What is a straight septum clicker?
A straight septum clicker is a hinged piece of septum jewellery with a flat or straight-bar profile that snaps shut via a spring-loaded click mechanism. Unlike horseshoe barbells or circular barbells, which require unscrewing a ball to remove, a clicker opens and closes at the hinge — no tools, no loose parts. The straight bar sits across the front of the septum, making it a display-oriented piece suited to showing off the design when worn down.
-
What gauge are septum clickers?
Most septum piercings in the UK are carried out at 16g (1.2mm), making 16g the most common gauge for straight septum clickers. Some piercers work at 14g (1.6mm), particularly for clients who prefer a heavier piece or plan to stretch. If you're unsure of your current gauge, measure your existing jewellery with calipers or ask your piercer — ordering the wrong gauge means the piece won't fit the channel correctly.
-
What size straight septum clicker do I need?
Gauge and inner diameter are the two measurements that matter. Gauge (16g or 14g) must match your piercing channel. Inner diameter — the width of the bar section — determines how the piece sits across your columella. Most wearers find 8mm or 10mm inner diameter works well, but anatomy varies. A piece that's too narrow will feel tight; too wide and it hangs lower than intended. Check individual product listings for exact dimensions.
-
Is a straight clicker vs horseshoe septum ring — which is better?
They serve different purposes. A horseshoe barbell (circular barbell) is more versatile for everyday wear because it flips up inside the nose cleanly and is available in a wide range of sizes. A straight clicker septum ring is a display piece — the flat bar profile is designed to be seen, and the jewelled or polished design sits squarely forward-facing. If you need to conceal your piercing regularly, a horseshoe is the more practical choice. If you want a piece that presents well when worn out, a straight clicker is the better option.
-
Is 316L surgical steel safe for a septum piercing?
316L surgical steel is suitable for healed septum piercings in most wearers. It is a low-carbon stainless steel that performs well in healed tissue under normal conditions. However, it does contain nickel — approximately 10–14% by composition — and is not appropriate for individuals with a confirmed nickel sensitivity or contact dermatitis triggered by nickel-containing alloys. For nickel-sensitive wearers or piercings that are still healing, implant-grade titanium is the more appropriate material choice. If you are unsure, consult a qualified professional piercer or licensed medical provider before wearing.
-
Can I wear a straight clicker in a new septum piercing?
No. Straight septum clickers in this collection are intended for use on fully healed piercings only. Healing septum piercings require implant-grade materials (typically ASTM F136 titanium or solid gold at appropriate karat) and jewellery that allows for swelling and aftercare. Placing a hinged clicker in a healing piercing can create pressure on healing tissue and complicate the healing process. Consult your piercer on appropriate jewellery for a healing septum before considering a style change.
-
How do I open and close a straight septum clicker?
Open the clicker from the hinge end — use your thumbnail or fingernail to press the hinge open. Do not try to lever the bar end away from the hinge end laterally, as this can stress and damage the mechanism. Once the piece is positioned in the piercing, press the bar end closed firmly until you feel and hear the click engage. The click confirms the hinge is fully locked. If the mechanism feels stiff initially, that's normal — it eases with regular use.
