Collection: Silver Septum Rings

Silver septum rings at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a natural silver finish, offering a nickel-free and hypoallergenic choice for septum piercings. Septum jewellery is typically 16G (1.2mm), and all pieces in this collection follow that standard. Titanium is the recommended material for septum piercings because it does not tarnish in a moist nasal environment and is free of the metals most likely to cause tissue reactions.

The collection includes septum clicker rings, horseshoe barbells, and seamless rings in silver titanium. Clicker rings are the most practical septum style for regular wear because the hinged mechanism allows the ring to open and close without bending or distorting. Horseshoe barbells offer full adjustability and are a popular choice for those who frequently flip their septum jewellery up to hide the piercing.

Silver septum rings are a clean, versatile option that suits a wide range of personal styles from minimal to statement. Because the septum sits centrally on the face, the proportions of the ring (diameter and gauge) have a significant visual impact. Smaller diameters read as subtle and everyday; larger diameters make a more deliberate statement. The natural titanium silver finish maintains its appearance indefinitely without polishing.

Septum piercings heal relatively quickly compared to cartilage piercings, typically within 6 to 8 weeks when aftercare is consistent. Clean the piercing twice daily with sterile saline spray, avoid submerging in water during healing, and resist the urge to flip the jewellery up and down frequently, as this introduces bacteria and delays healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are silver septum rings made from sterling silver?

No. Silver septum rings at Camden Body Jewellery are made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with a natural silver colour. Titanium is better suited to septum piercings than sterling silver because it will not tarnish in the nasal environment and is completely nickel-free, reducing the risk of reactions in a sensitive placement.

What gauge are septum rings?

Septum piercings are typically 16G (1.2mm). Some piercers use 14G for a chunkier look, but 16G is the most common standard. Check with your piercer which gauge your septum was pierced at before selecting replacement jewellery.

What is a septum clicker ring?

A septum clicker is a hinged ring that opens and closes via a small click mechanism, allowing the ring to be inserted and removed without bending or stretching the metal. Clicker rings are the most practical septum jewellery for frequent wearers as they are easy to put in and take out, and the hinge mechanism does not weaken the ring with repeated use.

Can I flip a septum ring up to hide it?

Yes. Horseshoe barbells (circular barbells) are specifically designed to be flipped up inside the nostril to hide the septum piercing when needed. Clicker rings are not designed to be flipped. If you need to conceal your piercing regularly, a horseshoe barbell is the more practical choice.

How long does a septum piercing take to heal?

Septum piercings generally heal within 6 to 8 weeks, making them one of the faster-healing facial piercings. The piercing passes through the soft tissue of the columella (the thin strip of skin at the base of the septum) rather than the cartilage itself. Consistent aftercare and avoiding unnecessary movement of the jewellery will support faster healing.
