Collection: Gold Septum Rings

Gold septum rings offer one of the most striking uses of a gold finish in body jewellery. The septum sits at the centre of the face, and a gold ring there draws the eye in a way that silver does not. Every piece in this collection is made from ASTM F136 implant-grade titanium with an 18K Gold PVD finish, giving you a rich, warm gold appearance on a base material that is fully nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and safe for fresh and healed piercings alike.

This collection covers the most popular gold septum styles: horseshoe barbells (also called circular barbells) for the classic septum look that can be flipped up inside the nose; seamless rings for a clean, continuous hoop; clicker rings with a hinged closure for easy daily wear; and segment rings in gold for a sleek, uninterrupted circle. Sizes range from 16G (1.2mm) to fit standard septum piercings.

The septum is the most flexible piercing for jewellery changes because most styles can be flipped up inside the nostrils and made completely invisible when needed, making it popular with people in professional environments. A gold horseshoe is the go-to choice for this reason as it flips up and sits flat against the inside of the nose without discomfort.

Gold septum rings complement gold nose rings and gold helix jewellery to create a layered, consistent finish across facial and ear piercings. Being implant-grade titanium, every piece in this collection is suitable for healing piercings. Clean your septum with sterile saline spray twice daily during healing; avoid touching or rotating the jewellery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge is a septum piercing?

Most septum piercings are done at 16G (1.2mm), though some piercers use 14G (1.6mm) for a bolder look. Check with your piercer what gauge you were pierced at before ordering. All pieces in this collection are 16G unless otherwise stated.

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

Yes, and this is one of the main reasons horseshoe barbells (circular barbells) are the most popular septum style. You simply rotate the ring upward so both ends sit inside the nostrils, making it completely invisible from the front. Seamless rings and clickers cannot be flipped in the same way.

Is 18K Gold PVD safe for a new septum piercing?

Yes. The titanium base is ASTM F136 implant-grade, which is nickel-free and recommended by the Association of Professional Piercers for initial jewellery. The 18K Gold PVD coating is inert and does not introduce any additional metals that would cause a reaction.

What is the most comfortable septum ring for daily wear?

A seamless ring or a well-fitted clicker ring are the most comfortable for daily wear as there are no protruding ends. A horseshoe barbell is more comfortable for people who flip their jewellery frequently. For new piercings, a horseshoe with longer posts is standard to allow for healing swelling.

How do I know what diameter septum ring to buy?

Most people find 8mm inner diameter works well for the septum. Smaller 6mm diameters sit closer and look more minimal; larger 10mm diameters give a bolder, more visible drop. If you currently have jewellery in your septum, measure its inner diameter to find your size.
