Though markedly dissimilar regarding appearance, this group of body jewelry has one thing in common; class and elegance. To help you pinpoint the perfect nose ring for your nose piercing, we’ve gone round to summate the key features of all the categories of nose piercings[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5932″ img_size=”300 X 300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Nose screws are shaped like a sickle, with a straight and semi-curved end (the straight end bears the decorative piece). The semi-circular part is what holds the jewelry in place in the piercing. Because this fits loosely in the piercing, nose screws are relatively easier to remove and replace (with or without the help of a professional piercer).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5931″ img_size=”300 X 300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Like the nose screw, Nose bones have two distinct ends, in this case, however, instead of a semi-circle, one end is slightly enlarged to be thicker that the jewelry shaft, while the other end hosts the decorative piece.

Again like Nose screws, these are relatively easy to fit in and remove; the only shortcoming is that if the enlarged anchor end is too minute, chances are that the jewelry piece would constantly shake (or maybe fall off). If it is too big, it would most likely cause some discomfort to the wearer[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5935″ img_size=”300 X 300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Instead of spotting an enlarged or curved anchor, fishtails instead have an elaborately longer jewelry shaft with the decorative piece at one end. Consequent of the lack of an anchor point, a professional piercer is needed to set this kind of body jewelry in place. That said, the extra-long shaft gives ample creative room for customization to piercing professionals. If you are looking for unique piece, this might just be the nose ring for you[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5934″ img_size=”300 X 300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Hoops (and Circular barbells) are in an actual sense the only nose rings that bear the shape of a ‘ring.’ They come in various size and formats also, from the conventional captive bead rings to seamless rings, segment rings and the more specialized screw-on ball rings, there’s a wide variety of options to take your pick from. When choosing a hoop ring (at least for the first time) professional guidance is needed to help determine the perfect diameter and gauge combo best suited for you. The only downside to this class of nose rings is that some could be particularly tricky to fit in or remove, this is especially true for captive bead rings. The stress is, however, worth it, as these rings afford the wearer a striking look of confidence and elegance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”5933″ img_size=”300 X 300″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]If you need an easy to fit jewelry piece to compliment your septum piercing, circular barbells are the way to go. The ease of fitting and removing allows users of this body jewelry to be discrete. Your workplace doesn’t approve of piercings? Simply remove the barbell (with ease) or better still invert and tuck it in your nose, don’t worry you’ll still breathe just fine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
