Septum ring FAQs: clickers, gauges and diameter
Explore 5 quick answers about septum jewelry sizing and closures
What gauge is usually used for septum piercings?
16G (1.2mm) is a commonly used septum jewelry size, but professional piercers may use other gauges depending on placement and anatomy. Confirm the gauge of your own piercing before choosing a septum ring.
Should I buy an 8mm or 10mm septum ring?
An 8mm ring generally fits closer to the nose than a 10mm ring when both have the same gauge and shape. The best diameter depends on where the piercing sits and the room needed for the jewelry. Avoid choosing solely from a photograph.
What is a septum clicker ring?
A septum clicker has a hinged section that snaps closed. Clickers can feature plain metal, gems or decorative designs. Check the gauge, inner diameter, decorative depth and clasp design in the exact product description.
What is the difference between a septum clicker and a horseshoe ring?
A clicker typically has a hinge and latch; a horseshoe ring, or circular barbell, has an open arc with removable ends. Each opens differently and creates a different look. Neither style is automatically compatible with every septum piercing.
Can I switch to a different septum ring while healing?
Do not change initial septum jewelry simply to try another style while the piercing is still healing. Jewelry size, movement and material can affect healing. Have a qualified piercer assess the piercing first, and use our sizing chart for measurement terminology.
