• Authentic Diamond: Round genuine diamond graded to G colour and SI1 clarity, offering brilliant sparkle without inclusions visible to the eye
• Secure Screw Mechanism: Twisted insertion design ensures the stud stays in place throughout your day without risk of dislodging
• Four Size Options: Available in 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.5mm to match your specific piercing gauge
• Comfortable Nostril Fit: 6mm bar length engineered for nostril wear, neither too short nor too long for natural-looking positioning
• Versatile Styling: Complements both minimalist and statement jewellery aesthetics, suitable for professional and casual contexts

1. Prepare: Wash your hands thoroughly and ensure your nostrils are clean and dry. If your piercing is new or healing, let your piercer handle the initial insertion.
2. Hold the Screw: Grasp the diamond end gently but firmly between your thumb and forefinger. Do not apply pressure to the diamond itself—hold the metal backing.
3. Position: Align the screw mechanism with your piercing opening. The screw tip should face directly into your nostril.
4. Insert Slowly: Gently twist the screw clockwise (right-hand turn) as you push lightly inward. The screw will thread into your piercing. Do not force—the motion should feel smooth and controlled.
5. Stop When Seated: Continue turning until the diamond end sits flush with your nostril, or at your preferred depth. You should feel gentle resistance, not pressure.
6. Check Security: Once seated, give the diamond end a gentle tug. The screw should not rotate or move—it's fully inserted when resistance is felt.
7. Removal: To remove, grasp the diamond end and turn counter-clockwise (left-hand turn) slowly until the screw threads out. Never yank or pull straight out, as this can damage the piercing.

• Daily Cleaning: Gently clean around your nostril and the screw stud with saline solution or mild soap and warm water. Pat dry with a clean tissue or cloth.
• Diamond Care: The genuine diamond requires no special treatment beyond regular cleaning. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach, strong solvents).
• Gold Maintenance: 9K gold develops a natural patina over time, which many find beautiful. If you prefer the original polish, use a soft gold polishing cloth occasionally. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.
• Avoid Water Damage: While 9K gold is durable, remove the screw stud before swimming in chlorinated pools. Saltwater and hot tubs are generally safe for short periods.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. A soft jewellery pouch or small box prevents scratching and tarnishing.
• Avoid Impact: Do not drop or strike the screw stud against hard surfaces. The genuine diamond, while durable, can chip if subjected to significant impact.
• Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or if you notice dulling of the gold or diamond, a professional jeweller can clean and polish your screw stud safely.

This 9K gold diamond nose screw suits multiple wearing contexts and style preferences:

• Everyday Elegance: The subtle diamond sparkle works beautifully as daily-wear jewellery, adding a touch of luxury without demanding attention in professional or casual settings.
• Special Occasions: The genuine diamond and gold elevate your look for events, dinners, or celebrations where you want a polished, refined aesthetic.
• Coordinated Jewellery Styling: Pair with delicate gold earrings, minimalist gold hoops, or matching gold studs for a cohesive, intentional look across multiple piercings.
• Alternative & Fashion-Forward Contexts: The craftsmanship and material quality align with alternative fashion values, supporting self-expression through genuine, well-made body jewellery.
• Gift for Piercing Enthusiasts: The premium materials, genuine diamond, and multiple sizing options make this an excellent gift for those who appreciate quality body jewellery and authentic gemstones.
• Established Piercings: Best suited for fully healed nostril piercings. The screw mechanism and implant-grade material work well for both original piercings and long-established piercings.

Understanding Gauge Size for Nose Piercings

All nose piercings are typically pierced at 20G (0.8mm thickness). The size option you choose refers to the diameter of the stud end (measured in millimetres), which accommodates different nostril sizes and personal preferences.

How to Find Your Current Size: If you have an existing nose stud, your piercer can measure it, or you can use a calliper against a ruler. If your piercing is new, ask your piercer what gauge they used—typically 20G for nostril piercings.

Still Unsure? Contact our team via chat or email, or visit your piercer for professional guidance. Choosing the correct size ensures comfort and the best appearance for your unique nose shape and piercing.

• Is 9K gold good for nose piercings?

  Yes. 9K gold is an excellent choice for established piercings. It's hypoallergenic, implant-grade, and durable enough for daily wear. Unlike plated alternatives, 9K gold won't wear through, making it a long-term investment. For newly pierced noses, ask your piercer—some prefer higher-karat gold (14K+) or titanium initially, though 9K works fine for most.

• Is the diamond genuine or cubic zirconia?

  The diamond is genuine. It's graded to G colour (near-colourless) and SI1 clarity (eye-clean, minor inclusions invisible without magnification). This is a real diamond, not synthetic or cubic zirconia. The grading reflects its authenticity and quality.

• What's the difference between a nose screw, nose stud, and nose pin?

  Nose screw (this product): twisted insertion mechanism, very secure, stays in place reliably. Nose stud (L-shaped or right-angle): simple bend, easier insertion, can occasionally slip out. Nose pin (straight): less common, requires specific piercing angle. Each offers different benefits—screws are best for active lifestyles or if you prefer maximum security.

• How do I know which size I need?

  All nostril piercings are 20G (0.8mm thickness). The size (1.4mm–2.5mm) refers to the diamond end diameter. If you already wear a nose stud, measure the diameter of the visible part, or ask your piercer. If you're uncertain, 1.5mm is the standard size that works for most people. We offer a full size guide in the Gauge Size Guide tab.

• Can I wear this in a newly pierced nose?

  This nose screw is implant-grade and suitable for established piercings. For newly pierced noses (typically first 6–8 weeks), consult your piercer before changing jewellery. Some piercers prefer you wait longer or use specific materials during healing. Once fully healed, this 9K gold diamond screw is an excellent choice.

• Will 9K gold tarnish?

  9K gold resists tarnishing much better than sterling silver or lower gold alloys. Over time, it may develop a subtle patina—a natural darkening that many find beautiful and characteristic of genuine gold. If you prefer the original shine, occasional polishing with a soft gold cloth keeps it bright. Harsh chemicals and prolonged moisture exposure can accelerate tarnishing, so store it dry.

• How secure is the screw mechanism?

  Very secure. The screw threads into your piercing channel and creates friction that holds it firmly in place. Once inserted, it won't rotate or fall out during normal activity. To remove, you simply twist counter-clockwise. This mechanism is preferred by many piercers for its reliability and ease of use.

• What if I can't insert or remove the screw?

  Nose screws are straightforward to use, but if you're having difficulty, don't force it. Visit your piercer—they can insert or remove it professionally without risk to your piercing. Forcing can damage the piercing or the jewellery. Our care guide outlines the proper technique, but professional help is always available if needed.
