Titanium septum rings are the safest, most comfortable option for septum piercings. Every septum 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 septum piercing passes through the thin membrane (the "sweet spot") between the cartilage walls of the nose, and this delicate tissue is particularly sensitive to metal irritants — making implant-grade titanium the ideal material choice.
This collection features titanium septum rings in every popular style: hinged segment rings that click securely closed for easy insertion, seamless continuous rings for a smooth unbroken look, circular barbells (horseshoe rings) that can be flipped up inside the nose when needed, and decorative septum clickers with ornate front-facing designs. Septum piercings are standardly pierced at 16G (1.2mm), and all jewellery here uses that gauge.
Inner diameter is the key sizing consideration for septum rings. Smaller diameters sit closer to the base of the nose for a subtle look, while larger diameters hang lower and create a more visible statement. Your ideal size depends on how low your septum was pierced and your personal aesthetic preference. All titanium septum rings are available in the natural polished silver finish, with many styles also offered in PVD-coated gold, rose gold, black and other colours.
Titanium is approximately 40% lighter than surgical steel and fully waterproof, meaning your septum ring stays comfortable and maintains its appearance through everyday activities, exercise and showering. The hypoallergenic nature of ASTM F136 titanium ensures your septum stays healthy and irritation-free regardless of how long you wear the jewellery.
Septum Care
Septum piercings are one of the fastest-healing piercings, typically taking 6 to 8 weeks when properly cared for. Clean with sterile saline spray twice daily during healing. Once healed, septum rings can be changed freely — and circular barbells can be flipped up inside the nose for situations where you prefer your piercing to be hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you flip a titanium septum ring up?
Yes. Circular barbells (horseshoe rings) are designed to flip up inside the nose and remain hidden. Hinged segment rings and clickers cannot be flipped up; they must be removed if you need to hide the piercing.
How long does a septum piercing take to heal?
Septum piercings are one of the fastest-healing piercings, typically taking 6 to 8 weeks when properly cared for. The piercing passes through a thin membrane rather than cartilage, which speeds healing.
What diameter septum ring should I get?
The ideal diameter depends on how low your septum was pierced. Common sizes are 8mm for a close fit, 10mm for moderate visibility and 12mm for a more prominent look. Your piercer can advise on the best size for your anatomy.
Is titanium safe for septum piercings?
Yes. Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) is the safest material for septum piercings. It is nickel-free, biocompatible and will not react with the moisture inside the nose.
