Collection: Black Septum Rings

Black septum rings at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a black PVD finish, offering a bold and striking option for the septum piercing. Septum piercings are typically 16G (1.2mm), and all pieces in this collection follow that standard. The titanium base is nickel-free and safe for healed septum piercings, and the PVD coating bonds directly to the surface for a durable, long-lasting black finish.

The collection includes black septum clicker rings, black horseshoe barbells, and black seamless rings. Black clicker rings are the most practical septum jewellery for regular wear, with the hinged mechanism making insertion and removal straightforward. Black horseshoe barbells can be flipped up inside the nostril to hide the piercing when needed. All styles are available in diameters suited to the septum placement.

Black septum rings make an immediate visual impact as a central facial feature. The dark finish against the skin creates a strong, defined look that reads as deliberate and styled. For those who wear predominantly dark or statement jewellery, a black septum ring anchors the face in a way that silver or gold cannot. The black finish also works well as a contrast piece for those who otherwise wear silver or gold jewellery.

Septum piercings heal faster than most other facial piercings, typically within 6 to 8 weeks with consistent aftercare. Clean the piercing twice daily with sterile saline spray, avoid submerging in water during healing, and limit how often you flip the jewellery during the healing period as movement introduces bacteria and delays healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are black septum rings safe for healed piercings?

Black septum rings made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a PVD finish are safe for healed septum piercings. The titanium base is nickel-free and non-reactive. For fresh piercings, confirm with your piercer that the jewellery is appropriate for initial healing before wearing any coloured or coated jewellery.

What gauge are black septum rings?

Septum piercings are typically 16G (1.2mm). Confirm the gauge your septum was pierced at before purchasing replacement jewellery, as sizing varies between piercers.

Can I flip a black septum ring up to hide it?

Yes, if you choose a horseshoe barbell style. Horseshoe barbells can be rotated up inside the nostril to conceal the piercing. Black clicker rings and seamless rings are not designed to be flipped. If you need to hide your septum piercing regularly, a black horseshoe barbell is the most practical choice.

How long does a septum piercing take to heal?

Septum piercings generally heal within 6 to 8 weeks with consistent aftercare. The piercing passes through soft tissue at the base of the septum rather than cartilage, which means it heals faster than most cartilage piercings. Clean twice daily with sterile saline spray and avoid touching or moving the jewellery unnecessarily.

Does the black PVD finish last?

PVD finishes are significantly more durable than plated or painted surfaces. Under normal wearing conditions, the black finish on implant-grade titanium is long-lasting. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals to maintain the surface quality over time.
