View full detailsSteel Nose Rings for Everyday Wear
Tough, Polished, and Easy on the Budget
Surgical steel is hard-wearing, keeps its shine, and doesn't tarnish, which makes it a practical everyday nose ring. It also costs less than titanium, so it's easy to own a few styles and switch between them. Steel does contain a small amount of nickel bound into the alloy. Many people wear it without trouble in a healed nostril, but if steel has irritated your skin before, our titanium nose rings are nickel-free. The colored pieces here have a PVD coating over steel, which holds up well but can wear with time.
Stainless Steel Nose Studs, Hoops, and Nose Bones
For studs, choose an L-bend that slides in and out easily, a corkscrew that twists in and holds firmly, or a nose bone with a small ball end that keeps it in place. Tops include 2mm and 3mm CZ gems, opals, a heart, and a bat. For hoops, there are hinged rings that click shut, including one paved with CZ stones, open hoops you can adjust by hand, bendable hoops lined with rows of CZ gems, and a twisted hoop with a gem ball.
Surgical Steel Nose Ring Sizes: 16G to 22G
Most nostrils are pierced at 18G or 20G, and nearly every style here comes in one or both. For a thicker piercing, the hinged fixed-ball ring and the triple-layered hinged hoop come in 16G, and for a very fine piercing there's a 22G corkscrew with a multicolor opal. Hoops are measured by inner diameter; 5/16" (8mm) sits close to the nostril, and larger sizes hang lower. Match the gauge you wear now so the ring doesn't slip or feel tight. Not sure of your size? See our body jewelry gauge size chart, or ask your piercer to confirm your gauge and fit.
Surgical Steel Nose Rings FAQ
What's the difference between surgical steel and stainless steel?
Surgical steel is a grade of stainless steel, usually 316L, used for body jewelry because it holds up to daily wear and doesn't tarnish. PVD-coated steel is the same kind of base metal with a colored finish on top, and the bendable hoops use annealed steel, which has been softened so it can be shaped by hand.
Do you have nose rings smaller than 20G?
Yes. The multicolor opal corkscrew nose ring comes in 22G, a finer gauge for nostrils pierced smaller than usual. Only wear 22G if that's what your nostril was pierced with, since a ring thinner than your piercing can slip out or let the hole shrink. Your piercer can confirm your gauge.
Can I bend a steel nose hoop to fit better?
Open and bendable hoops are made to be adjusted. Twist the ends sideways to open or close them instead of pulling them straight apart, and try not to reshape them often, since repeated bending weakens metal. Don't bend a hinged hoop, or the segment may not click shut; if one feels loose, choose a smaller diameter instead.
