What size should I get?
To determine what nose ring size is best for you, use a metric ruler to measure the distance from your piercing to the bottom edge of your nose in millimeters. Reference the infographics in the product photos for a tutorial. I make custom sizes in .5 mm increments, so we can really dial in the perfect size for you! You don't want the hoop to be so snug that it causes irritation. Other than that, the right fit has a strong element of personal preference.
With a fresh piercing, you want to keep the original body jewelry that the piercing shop uses until the piercing site heals. We are not responsible for scarring caused by you ordering a hoop that is too small or if you switch too soon from the stud a piercing shop uses.
How do I insert my hoop?
With a gentle motion, twist ends in the opposite direction. Pierce one end through and push ends back together. Each hoop comes with detailed instructions with pictures. I also made this video demonstrating this process: youtu.be/kCSLsN58YLI
What does gauge mean, and what gauge should I get?
Gauge equals how thick the hoop is. The gauges I offer are as follows:
··· 24 Gauge (as thin as a needle)
24 gauge nose rings are very thin, subtle, and malleable. If you need to take your nose hoop out daily, I recommend a thicker gauge nose hoop.
··· 22 Gauge (similar thickness to mechanical pencil lead)
22 gauge nose rings are thin and more durable than the 24 gauge.
··· 20 Gauge (thickest, standard gauge used for new piercings)
20 gauge silver nose rings are the thickest and suitable for customers who need to take out their nose hoops daily.
What is Sterling Silver?
Sterling silver is the standard used for beautiful high-quality silver jewelry. The origin of the sterling silver I use is The United States. We use 925 sterling silver which is 92.5% pure silver mixed with alloys to add strength and durability. In addition, the sterling silver I use is rated as hypoallergenic, does not contain nickel, and is safe for sensitive skin types.
Is this real gold? What is Gold-Filled?
I make my nose rings out of real 14k gold; it is not gold plated. By definition, all 14k gold is gold-filled and not 100% pure gold. (Gold plated and gold-filled are not that same thing) If it were completely pure gold, it would be too malleable and not strong enough for how thin nose rings are. The 14K gold I use is rated as hypoallergenic, does not contain nickel, and is safe for sensitive skin types.
Care instructions for sterling silver, 14K gold, and 14K rose gold
All jewelry will eventually begin to show signs of tarnishing due to exposure to air, moisture, and chemicals. When this occurs, you can clean the discolored area with a jewelry cloth or jewelry cleaner.
*These care instructions only apply for sterling silver, 14K gold, and 14K rose gold
Custom and personalized orders
Everyone has a different nose! That is why I offer custom-size nose hoops to make sure you find the right fit. To order a custom, click on the drop-down menu in your desired listing and select what custom size you would like me to create for you. Shipping time is the same for custom orders!
Can I Return or Exchange?
For the safety of all my customers, I cannot accept returns or exchanges on body jewelry orders, including all hoops. This is due to sanitary regulations. So please get in touch and ask all questions before purchasing to make sure you love your new jewelry.
Please provide the correct address for your order. If you contact us before the order ships, we can update the address. Once an order ships, we cannot issue any refund if the buyer gives an insufficient or wrong address. As a customer courtesy, we are happy to reship orders in this situation as long as the buyer pays for additional shipping charges.
Why should I purchase from Ammonite Swirls vs. other shops?
We are a 21st-century mom-and-pop shop. Each piece is handmade by shop owner Georgia and shipped out by her husband, Antonio. All materials used originate in the USA. Purchasing from us is helping us pay our mortgage, car payments on our Prius, and food for our cats, Sprout and Boots.
