Nose Studs

Our collection features a variety of nose stud designs to suit your style and comfort preferences. Choose from simple studs for a classic look, sparkling gemstones for a touch of glamour, or unique shapes like stars and hearts to express your personality. Each type is crafted to ensure you find the perfect match for your style.

We offer nose studs in sterling silver, 9ct gold and gold-plated sterling silver. Sterling silver is a popular choice for its sleek appearance, while 9ct gold provides a luxurious, durable option. Gold-plated sterling silver offers the best of both, combining the affordability of silver with the classic appeal of gold.

We stock four main fastening styles. L-shaped studs have a bent pin that hooks inside the nostril — they're easy to insert and the most popular choice. Andralok studs have a small lever that clicks into place for extra security, making them great if you're worried about losing a stud. Ball-end studs have a small ball on the inside of the pin to hold them in place, and nose screws have a spiral-shaped pin that twists into the piercing. Each product page tells you which fastening it uses.

If you're worried about losing a nose stud, Andralok studs are your best bet — they have a small lever that clicks shut inside the nostril, so they won't budge until you deliberately release them. Nose screws are the next most secure, with a spiral pin that twists into the piercing and holds itself in place. L-shaped studs are easy to insert and stay put for most people, though they can occasionally slip out if your piercing is on the larger side. Ball-end studs rely on a gentle friction fit, so they're best for piercings that are well established.

A corkscrew or nose screw is ideal if you like to change up your look regularly. The spiral-shaped pin twists in and out smoothly once you get the hang of it, so swapping between styles only takes a few seconds. Once in, the corkscrew shape holds the stud securely without any clips or clasps to fiddle with — making it comfortable enough to wear all day and night. It's the go-to choice for people who want something reliable but still easy to switch out.

An L-shaped nose stud is the best option if you're new to nose jewellery. The pin has a simple right-angle bend, so inserting and removing it is as straightforward as it gets — no twisting or clicking needed. That makes it much less daunting when you're changing your nose stud for the first time. L-shaped studs sit flat and comfortably against the inside of the nostril, and they stay in well for most people. Once you're confident with the process, you can always move on to corkscrews or Andraloks later if you want extra security.

Nose studs have two key measurements: the stud size, which is the diameter of the decorative part on the outside, and the pin gauge, which is the thickness of the wire that goes through your piercing. Gauge is shown in both mm and Ga — a lower Ga number means a thicker pin. Both measurements are listed on each product page under the specification section.

For your first piercing, choosing a stud made from fine metals like sterling silver or 9ct gold is ideal to reduce the chance of irritation. Opt for a small, simple design to ensure the area heals well and comfortably. Once healed, you can experiment with different sizes and designs!

Our nose studs are designed for comfort and durability, so you can wear them all the time. However, for hygiene and to maintain the best condition of the stud, we recommend removing it occasionally to clean both the jewellery and your piercing site.

To keep your nose studs looking their best, clean them regularly with a gentle jewellery cleaner suitable for the metal you've chosen. Always handle your nose studs with clean hands, and ensure the piercing site is kept clean and dry to avoid irritation.
