5 out of 5 starsI luv the oval concept! A little more difficult than what the reviews lead me to believe but that’s also because I’m just not good at changing it out yet. Next time I’ll get one size smaller I would rather it hug my nose then hang as it does. However I bought a solid gold one off Etsy and spent $50 and it was too small for my nose so I figured I’d try this out and I don’t regret it now I know I’m in between an eight and 10 size. Luv how dainty it is! Ty

5 out of 5 starsI have been ordering my nose rings from thebeadedlily since 2019. Sarah NEVER disappoints me. Her nose rings are made with the best quality. I will continue to order from her.

5 out of 5 starsSarah's nose hoops are the best!! Repeat customer here:) The endless oval hoop stays in place and feels custom fit for my nose. 20g is a great sturdy thickness so it never loses its shape with changing jewelry.

5 out of 5 starsItem shipped very quickly, yay! And was packaged in a cute and eco way. I bought a size 8mm ring in the past and wish I could get a 7.5 mm because the 7mm is almost too snug and the 8mm is almost too big.. but still works out for me fine!
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.

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 your piercing to the edge of 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.
