Collection: Titanium Nose Rings

Titanium nose rings offer the safest, most comfortable option for nostril and septum piercings. Every nose ring at Camden Body Jewellery is crafted from implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136), a medical-grade alloy that is entirely nickel-free and biocompatible. The nose is one of the most sensitive areas for body jewellery — the mucous membrane inside the nostril reacts quickly to irritants — which is why professional piercers consistently recommend implant-grade titanium over surgical steel, sterling silver or plated metals for nose piercings.

This collection includes titanium nose rings in every hoop style: hinged segment rings that click securely closed, seamless continuous rings for a smooth unbroken look, and ball closure rings for a classic aesthetic. You will also find septum clickers with decorative front-facing designs and plain septum rings in various diameters. Nose rings are available in 20G (0.8mm) for a finer fit and 18G (1.0mm) as the standard nostril gauge, while septum jewellery is typically 16G (1.2mm).

Choosing the right inner diameter is important for both comfort and appearance. Smaller 6mm and 8mm nose rings sit closely against the nostril for a subtle, snug look, while 10mm and 12mm options create a more visible hoop. For septum piercings, diameter depends on how low your septum was pierced and how much of the ring you want visible below the nose. Use the filters below to narrow by size, colour and style.

Titanium nose rings are available in the natural polished silver finish as well as PVD-coated gold, rose gold, black and other colours. PVD is a vacuum-deposited finish that bonds permanently to the titanium surface, so it will not chip, tarnish or cause irritation. The lightweight nature of titanium — roughly 40% lighter than steel — means your nose ring sits comfortably without dragging on the piercing.

Nose Piercing Care

Nostril piercings typically heal in 4 to 6 months, while septum piercings can heal in as little as 6 to 8 weeks when properly cared for. Clean with sterile saline spray twice daily and avoid touching or rotating the jewellery during healing. Once fully healed, titanium nose rings can be changed freely — the hypoallergenic material ensures your piercing stays healthy regardless of how often you swap styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best material for a nose ring?
Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) is the best material for nose rings. It is nickel-free, biocompatible, lightweight and will not tarnish or irritate the sensitive tissue inside the nostril.

What size nose ring do I need?
For nostril piercings, 6mm is a snug fit, 8mm is the most common size and 10mm creates a more visible hoop. Septum rings typically range from 8mm to 12mm. Gauge is usually 18G (1.0mm) for nostrils and 16G (1.2mm) for septum.

Can I wear a titanium nose ring in a new piercing?
Yes. Implant-grade titanium is safe for new piercings. However, most piercers recommend healing with a stud first and switching to a nose ring once the piercing is fully healed (4 to 6 months for nostrils, 6 to 8 weeks for septum).

Will a titanium nose ring turn my nose green?
No. Titanium does not cause skin discolouration. Green discolouration is caused by copper in brass or low-quality plated metals, which are not present in implant-grade titanium.
