These faux septum rings are formed by hand and gently hammered to increase strength and add a subtle shimmery texture. Gold filled is durable, nickel free and a high quality alternative to solid gold that can last a lifetime if properly taken care of. Fake piercings, or cuffs, are perfect if you're unsure about getting a real septum piercing or if you just like to switch things up! The ends are looped to make them comfortable to wear for longer periods of time and can be adjusted slightly for a tighter fit if needed.

Lovely model Laura is wearing a 6mm in yellow gold filled 🧡
If you're looking for a super dainty, peekaboo style fake septum ring I recommend a 6 or 7mm, if you want to have more of the ring show I recommend choosing 8 or 9mm. If you have large features and/or want a real statement piece I'd say go with a 10mm :)

MATERIAL INFO
Almost all of my pieces can be made in a range of different materials. Which one is best for you depends on, well, you - and where on your body you intend to wear the piece! Here's a bit of info on all of the different metals I use:
GOLD FILLED:
Gold fill is composed of a solid layer of gold (typically 5% of the total weight) mechanically bonded to a base of brass. Gold filled looks just like solid gold, at a fraction of the price. The gold layer will not chip or flake off, and can last a very long time with proper care. As with other metals, remove it periodically and clean with a soft cloth. Gold Filled is nickel free and generally well tolerated even with sensitive skin.
925 STERLING SILVER:
The silver I use, 925 sterling, is made of 92% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, mostly copper. The addition of the other metals make this form of silver stronger and more durable. Sterling silver is only recommended for lobe/cartilage and/or nostril piercings that are fully healed. Avoid sterling silver for piercings in moist areas, like the septum or labret. To help your sterling silver pieces look great for longer, store them in a dark place, away from humidity and avoid contact with perfumes, lotions and make-up. You can clean your silver items with a soft cloth or commercial cleaner.
935 ARGENTIUM SILVER:
Argentium silver has a bright silver color, a higher silver content than traditional sterling, and is made of recycled silver and nickel-free.
316L SURGICAL STEEL:
A common material for body piercings and jewelry, 316L surgical steel is durable, affordable and highly resistant to corrosion. It has a smooth, shiny finish and a dark silver color and is suitable for most -healed- body piercings. This material does contain trace amounts of nickel so it's not recommended for those with very sensitive skin.
COPPER:
Copper is a beautiful material with a warm color and glow. There's a reason it has been used for jewelry for centuries! It does however need a bit more care than other metals. Copper reacts to factors like chemicals, moisture and the PH level of skin and can turn darker, or even green, as a result. Removing copper jewelry often and cleaning it well can help it stay beautiful for a long time though.
BRASS:
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It has a warm golden color and resembles gold in appearance. Brass does not require a lot of upkeep but can dull over time - simply polish with a soft cloth to restore it to its original shine.
