• Multiple Stone Sizes: Choose from 1.5mm to 3mm stones to match your aesthetic preference

1. Verify Your Gauge: Confirm your piercing gauge before purchase. Your piercer can measure if you're unsure. Most nostril piercings are 18G or 20G, but healing piercings may require 20G or 22G.
2. Clean Your Hands & Piercing: Wash hands thoroughly. Gently clean your nose piercing with saline solution or warm water before inserting the stud.
3. Insert the L Bend Carefully: Hold the stud by the bar (not the stone) and gently push the L-shaped post into your nostril at the same angle your piercing sits. Avoid forcing; it should slide in smoothly.
4. Position the Stone: Once inserted, adjust so the cubic zirconia sits on the inner or outer nostril, depending on your preference. The L bend should sit parallel to your nose.
5. Secure Comfortably: The fit should feel snug but not tight. You should be able to move your nose without the stud shifting significantly.
6. Remove by Reversing the Process: Gently angle the L bend back out. If resistance occurs, don't force it—clean with saline and try again after a few minutes.

• Daily Cleaning: Rinse your nose piercing with saline solution twice daily, or after activities that introduce sweat, makeup, or environmental debris. Pat dry gently with a clean paper towel.
• Spot Cleaning the Stone: Wipe the cubic zirconia stone with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain sparkle. Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners.
• Gold Maintenance: 14K gold resists tarnishing, but you can gently clean the gold band with warm water and mild soap if needed. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
• Avoid Submerging in Water: While gold is water-resistant, frequent exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or hot tubs can affect the setting and stone. Remove before swimming if possible.
• Storage: When not wearing, store in a clean, dry pouch or jewellery box away from moisture, perfume, and hairspray. Keep separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching.
• Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or to check the stone setting, visit a jeweller experienced with body jewellery.
• Monthly Inspection: Check that the stone remains secure in its setting and the gold shows no visible damage or wear.

• Everyday Wear: The solid 14K gold and secure L bend design make this stud ideal for daily use without worrying about damage or metal degradation.
• Professional Environments: Gold lends sophistication appropriate for workplace settings; the minimalist L bend keeps it discreet if needed.
• Healed Piercings: Recommended for fully healed nostril piercings (typically 3–6 months post-piercing). Consult your piercer before inserting into fresh piercings.
• Sensitive Skin: The nickel-free, implant-grade composition makes this suitable for individuals with metal sensitivities or allergies.
• Mixed Piercing Styling: Pairs easily with other studs, hoops, and clickers across your ear and facial piercings for a coordinated look.
• Gift for Piercing Enthusiasts: Premium 14K gold with cubic zirconia appeals to collectors and those transitioning from surgical steel to real gold.
• Special Occasions: The sparkle of cubic zirconia adds elegance for events while remaining subtle enough for daily wear before and after.

How to Measure Your Gauge: If you're unsure which gauge your piercing is, ask your piercer to measure or verify when you visit. Using the wrong gauge will result in a stud that's too loose or impossible to insert. Do not force a stud into a piercing—mismatched gauge causes irritation and potential scarring.

• Is 14K gold really better than surgical steel for nose piercings?

  Yes, for healed piercings and sensitive skin. Fourteen-karat gold is hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant, and will not degrade or expose base metals over time. Surgical steel, while popular, contains trace amounts of nickel and can cause irritation in individuals with metal sensitivities. Real gold nose rings also feel lighter and more luxurious, making them ideal for everyday wear and professional settings.

• Will the cubic zirconia stone scratch or lose its sparkle?

  Cubic zirconia is durable and scratch-resistant under normal wear, but it can scratch with prolonged contact with harder materials like diamonds or sapphires. With proper care—storing separately from other jewellery and gentle cleaning—the stone maintains its clarity and sparkle for years. If scratching does occur, it's typically minor and invisible to the naked eye.

• Can I wear this stud in a fresh piercing?

  Not recommended. Fresh nostril piercings typically require 3–6 months to heal fully. During the healing phase, use implant-grade titanium or surgical steel as recommended by your piercer. Once your piercing is fully healed and you've received approval from your piercer, you can transition to this 14K gold stud.

• How do I know which gauge size to buy?

  Your original piercer can measure your gauge, or you can ask at a professional piercing studio. Most nostril piercings are 18G or 20G. Never force a stud into a piercing of the wrong gauge—it causes irritation and potential scarring. When in doubt, confirm with your piercer before purchasing.

• What's the difference between 14K, 18K, and 10K gold?

  The numbers refer to purity: 14K is 58.3% pure gold (ideal balance of durability and purity), 18K is 75% pure gold (softer, more prone to bending), and 10K is 41.7% pure gold (harder but less gold content). For body jewellery, 14K gold is the sweet spot—durable enough for daily wear while maintaining excellent hypoallergenic properties.

• Can I mix and match this L bend with other studs?

  Yes. The L bend design works with standard ball end studs of the same gauge, allowing you to swap stones or finishes to create different looks. This flexibility makes it easy to build a versatile piercing collection.

• How should I clean this nose stud if it gets dull?

  Wipe the gold with warm water and mild soap, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. For the cubic zirconia stone, use a lint-free cloth or soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the stone setting.

• Is this stud hypoallergenic if I have nickel allergies?

  Yes. This 14K solid gold stud is nickel-free and implant-grade, making it safe for individuals with nickel sensitivities. However, if you have severe metal allergies, consult your piercer or dermatologist before inserting any body jewellery.

• Will the stone fall out of the setting?

  The cubic zirconia is securely set in the gold, and with proper care, it should not fall out. However, inspect the stone monthly to ensure it remains secure. If you notice any loosening, stop wearing the stud and visit a jeweller experienced with body jewellery for professional checking or resetting.

• How long will this nose stud last?

  With proper care, a 14K gold nose stud will last indefinitely. Gold does not corrode or degrade. The cubic zirconia stone is durable and will maintain its clarity for many years under normal wear. This investment piece is designed to be a long-term part of your piercing collection.
