Collection: Gold Nose Studs

Gold nose studs bring a warm, sophisticated look to your nostril piercing. Every gold nose stud at Camden Body Jewellery is made from implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) with a PVD gold coating — giving you the rich appearance of real gold with the safety and hypoallergenic properties of medical-grade titanium. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) bonds the gold colour at a molecular level, meaning the finish will not chip, tarnish, fade or cause irritation, even with constant daily wear inside the nostril.

This collection includes gold nose studs in a range of designs: simple polished gold balls, flat discs, CZ gem-set studs with gold settings, opal-topped studs, and decorative shapes including stars, moons, hearts and flowers. Stud types include internally threaded labret bars for a smooth, snag-free fit, threadless push-pin studs that snap securely together, and L-shaped nose studs. All are available in 20G (0.8mm) for a delicate gauge and 18G (1.0mm) as the standard nostril size.

Gold nose studs are particularly flattering on warm and olive skin tones, though the warm metallic finish complements virtually every complexion. The flat-back labret style is ideal for everyday wear — the disc sits flush inside the nostril, providing a secure, comfortable fit without any protruding post that could catch or irritate. For a coordinated look, pair your gold nose stud with gold ear jewellery from the same implant-grade titanium range.

The implant-grade titanium base ensures your gold nose stud is lightweight, waterproof and fully biocompatible. Unlike gold-plated brass or gold-filled jewellery, which can react with the moisture inside the nostril and degrade over time, PVD-coated titanium maintains its finish and safety indefinitely.

Choosing Your Gold Nose Stud

For healed piercings, a 6mm post length is standard. If you have thicker nostril tissue or a newer piercing, check individual product pages for longer post options. Clean with sterile saline during healing and warm water once healed — the PVD finish is resistant to cleaning products and will not discolour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are gold nose studs real gold?
Gold nose studs at Camden Body Jewellery are implant-grade titanium with a PVD gold coating. PVD bonds gold colour at a molecular level, creating a durable finish that will not chip or tarnish. This is safer for piercings than solid gold, which can contain allergenic alloys.

Will a gold nose stud suit my skin tone?
Gold complements warm and olive skin tones particularly well, but suits virtually all complexions. The warm metallic finish creates a flattering contrast against most skin colours.

How long does PVD gold last on a nose stud?
PVD gold coating is permanent under normal wear conditions. Unlike gold plating, which can wear off in weeks or months, PVD is bonded at a molecular level and maintains its colour indefinitely.
