Fake Septum Rings

The septum look with no needle, no healing and no commitment: magnetic horseshoes that grip the soft spot under your nose and clip-on hoops that pinch gently closed, cut to the same 3/8 inch size as a real 16G septum ring. Plain steel, gold tone, rose gold, black and rainbow PVD, gem and opal-look accents, sets that mix and match. Try it for a weekend, a photo or a year. Since 1999.

Fake Septum Ring Fit & Wear Guide

How they hold: a magnetic septum ring hides a small magnet in each ball of the horseshoe; set the balls either side of the thin skin at the front of your septum and they pull together and stay. A clip-on is a sprung hoop that closes with a light grip. Place either one at the sweet spot, the soft skin just below the cartilage, which is exactly where a real piercing sits.

Wear it honestly: it holds through a normal day and comes off in two seconds. Take it off to sleep, swim or play sports, and expect a hard sneeze to shift it. The magnets are small and strong, so keep them away from small children and pets.

Materials are 316L surgical steel with PVD color bonded to the metal, so the gold tone and rainbow finishes do not flake and the steel does not turn skin green.

Hiding a real piercing instead? That is a retainer job, not a fake: flip a horseshoe up into your nose, or wear the 16G titanium septum retainer that sits inside and disappears.

FAQ

Two ways. A magnetic septum ring is a horseshoe with a small magnet in each ball; they pull toward each other through the thin skin at the front of your septum and hold the ring in place. A clip-on is a sprung hoop that pinches gently closed. Neither one touches a needle.

Seated at the sweet spot, the soft skin right below the cartilage, it holds through a normal day. You feel a light grip, not a pinch. Honest limits: take it off to sleep, swim or play sports, and a hard sneeze can shift it. Treat it like an earring, not a piercing.

Not from across the room. Our magnetic horseshoes are cut to the same 3/8 inch (10mm) size as a real 16G septum ring, the magnets hide inside the balls, and the PVD finishes match the real septum jewelry on our site. The only giveaway is that you can take it off in two seconds.

A fake ring will not hide a piercing; that is a retainer job. For work or school, flip a horseshoe up into your nose, or wear the 16G titanium septum retainer, which sits inside the nose and disappears.

316L surgical steel, with the gold-tone, rose-gold, black and rainbow colors bonded on as PVD finishes, plus gem and opal-look accents. Solid steel does not turn skin green. One safety note: the magnets are small and strong, so keep them away from small children and pets.

Get pierced by a professional, keep the starter jewelry in until they clear you (septums heal in 4 to 8 weeks), then shop by size on our Septum Rings & Clickers page. The standard is 16G; the 3/8 inch fake you have been wearing already told you your diameter.
