Nose Studs & Nose Bones

The straight-shooters of nose jewelry: a nose bone is a short straight post with a tiny ball end that pops through and stays — no curl to thread, no corner to steer, the fastest swap a nostril can do. From 1.5mm micro gems to classic balls and solid 14k gold with genuine diamonds, this is the whole pop-in-and-go family on one page. Since 1999.

 

Nose Stud & Bone Fit Guide

Sizing is the easy kind: mostly 20G (some 18G — match what you wear now) with the nostril-standard 1/4" (6mm) wearable length. The bone's ball end is just a touch wider than the post — that's what holds it in place through the day with nothing to screw or bend.

Where bones win: speed and simplicity — in with a gentle push, out with a gentle pull, no mirror gymnastics. Where they ask patience: that slightly wider end means they're a healed-piercing style; a channel that's still settling prefers a screw or L-shape it can ease around.

FAQ

A short straight post with a tiny ball end slightly wider than the post — you push it gently through your piercing and that end holds it in place. No threads, no curl, no backing. It's the simplest nose jewelry design there is.

All three sit identically from the front; the difference is inside. A bone is straight and pops in. A screw has a curl you rotate through — most secure. An L-shape bends 90° for easy swaps. This page is the straight-post family; screws and L-shapes have their own aisles.

Most everyday nose jewelry is 20G with a 1/4" (6mm) post — the bulk of this page. Some noses wear 18G. Match the jewelry you have now; gauge and length are listed on every product page.

Not in normal wear — the ball end is doing quiet work all day. It takes a deliberate pull to remove, which is exactly the amount of effort you want between your jewelry and the sink drain.

Wait for the all-clear. The bone's wider end has to pass through the channel, and a healing nostril (several months — dense cartilage takes its time) doesn't want that trip. Keep the starter your piercer chose; bones are the healed-piercing convenience prize.
