5 out of 5 starsMy nose piercing was done slanted by mistake and I was told I wouldn’t ever be able to wear a snug ring bc it would squeeze the bottom of my nostril. This oval ring is a game changer and I’m so thankful - I get to wear the look I’ve wanted without irritation. It’s dainty and fits perfect, I’m obsessed!

5 out of 5 starsI have a huge, slightly Roman nose. I've always loved the look of a hoop in
a nostril piercing, but the large diameter needed for my giant nostril made hoops stick out A LOT - so I stuck with tiny studs. ...But this - THIS is just what I needed! It's perfect and understated; just how I like it.
I've ordered several items from this awesome seller in the past, and was stoked to stumble upon this listing. I love that I can choose the metal, the finish, the gauge, and the diameter. Reasonably priced, super fast shipping, and supporting a small business - what's not to love?!
Thank you for this! I definitely found another member of my daily driver jewelry. -

5 out of 5 starsThese are a replacement for a similar pair I bought many years ago. Sadly, I recently lost one. They are, by far, my favorite earrings. I like the simple style and that I can leave them in day after day. Thank you!
About thebeadedlily
Handcrafted jewelry is collaborative and connective. It connects the maker of the beads, with the maker of the piece, with the person who chooses that piece to say something about themselves, even through time and space.
thebeadedlily is a play on the phrase 'guild the lily', meaning 'to adorn unnecessarily' (isn't all adornment unnecessary? and yet somehow vital to our mental well-being?) refers to my favorite medium-- beads-- and alludes to my personal identity in the form of my middle name.
-Stringing is my first love and is all about the beads.
-Beadweaving is my labor intensive celebration of the art of creating and wearing jewelry.
-Wirework is my exploration of the most ancient forms of jewelry.

Returns and Exchanges
Anything that fits into a piercing is an intimate item. Pieces can be clearly seen through the baggie, so if you realize that the wrong size was ordered BEFORE the baggie seal is broken and the piece is tried on the item is still eligible for return/exchange, otherwise it is NOT.
So much of my work is custom and personalized, but as long as it's something that I offer in my shop, as opposed to something that we designed together, it's still eligible for return/exchange. If you're unsure if something qualifies, please don't hesitate to ask.
PLEASE contact me before shipping items back. I will not process returns or exchanges if I am not contacted. I will not process returns or exchanges for damaged or worn items.
Cancellations
As long as your item hasn't shipped I'll gladly cancel it. Once it's in the mail it becomes a return as opposed to a cancellation.
Damaged or Incorrect Items
If something is wrong about the piece you receive, please send me a photo as soon as possible so I can get it straight for you.

Sizing details-- Gauges
The thinnest gauge I work with is 28g and is almost threadlike.
26g and 24g which are also very delicate.
22g and 20g are about the size of most earring post or hoops that you would find in a typical jewelry display.
18g is slightly thicker and what we're normally pierced with. It may be uncomfortably snug in an ear lobe for just a bit. It's used for cartilage piercings and nostril jewelry.
16g is the beginning of gauged jewelry and fairly typical for cart and nose piercings.
14g is often purchased for septums and statement pieces.
I also often have 12g and 10g in stock. Thicker gauges may be available via special order.
Your piercer can tell you your gauge if you're unsure.
Sizing details-- Hoop Diameters
The most popular inner diameters for nose hoops, helix or cartilage, tragus and rook rings are 8mm, 9mm and 10mm.
Conch rings start at 10mm id.
Measure three times or get help, preferably using a millimeter ruler, for accuracy. Measure a piece of jewelry that fits well, from inner wall to inner wall across the widest point. Or measure the distance from the edge of your piercing to the edge of your piercing or the relevant body part. For a looser fit add a millimeter.
Loose is better than tight, which can hurt. I can size your jewelry down for the cost of shipping if your hoop is too large, but I can't do much about jewelry that is too snug.
