Septum Ring Jewellery

Septum Ring Jewellery at SkinKandy

SkinKandy's Septum Ring Jewellery collection features segment rings and horseshoes, fitted at 16G in 8mm or 10mm, with a larger 14G option at 10mm for those who prefer a bigger fit. Available in Surgical Steel, Titanium and 14K Gold, septum jewellery ranges from subtle and flip-up-friendly to bold, statement styles. This collection covers both fresh piercings and healed jewellery upgrades.

What jewellery styles suit a septum piercing?

Septum piercings suit segment rings and horseshoes, both fitted at 16G. A horseshoe is quick to flip up if you want to hide your piercing, while a segment ring gives a cleaner, seamless circle once closed. Both styles come in a range of finishes, from plain hoops to gem-set designs, so you can go subtle or bold depending on the occasion.

What size septum ring do I need?

Septum jewellery is typically fitted at 16G in 8mm or 10mm, with a larger 14G option available at 10mm for anyone who prefers a bigger gauge. The right diameter depends on the thickness of your septum tissue and how the ring needs to sit to clear the piercing comfortably. A ring that's too small can pinch, while one that's too large may sit awkwardly or flip up unintentionally. Your piercing specialist will confirm the exact size for your septum before fitting.

Is Surgical Steel safe for a fresh septum piercing?

Surgical Steel is what our piercing specialists use for fresh septum piercings in studio, and it's a safe, valid choice while you heal. Surgical Steel can be used in fresh piercings, though our piercing specialists recommend implant grade Titanium or 14K Gold during the healing phase, particularly if you have a known nickel sensitivity. Do not remove your jewellery during the healing phase, as this can cause the piercing to close and reinsertion risks irritation.

How does a segment ring compare to a horseshoe for septum piercings?

A segment ring is a hinged hoop that clicks into a continuous circle, giving a clean, seamless look with no visible ends. A horseshoe is an open-ended circular barbell that you twist into place, making it faster to flip up and hide the piercing when needed. Both are available at 16G in 8mm or 10mm, so the choice often comes down to how often you want to conceal the piercing versus the look of a closed ring.
