PIERCING USES: ear lobe, septum, lip, conch, rook, helix, diath

Below is more detailed information regarding my handmade nose hoops and my fast shipping! Thanks so much for shopping here and supporting my Etsy page, which has been open since 2012. 
 
MATERIAL: 
- Tarnish-resistant black
- Copper-based 
- made in the United States 

How long will this hoop last before tarnishing? It will last years if you avoid saltwater, chlorine, and harsh chemicals. This hoop works best if you live in a dry arid climate. Exposure to humidity and water can shorten the life span of the protective coated black. I live in Colorado and do not have sensitive skin and would highly recommend this to those who fit these criteria and want a high-quality nose hoop at a low price.

SIZE: if you are unsure of what size to get, scroll down to check out my sizing guide ⬇️
6 mm (Extra Small)
9 mm (Small)
11 mm (Medium)
13 mm (Large)
*half sizes are available too in the dropdown menu!

THICKNESS:
···  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 black nose rings are the thickest and suitable for customers who need to take out their nose hoops daily.

SIZING GUIDE:
Follow these simple steps on how to determine what size of nose ring is best for you:
To measure your nose piercing for a nose ring, use a ruler to measure the distance from your piercing to the bottom edge of your nose in millimeters. If your measurement is between sizes, I offer custom half sizes! (reference the infographic in the product photos for a tutorial)
STILL UNSURE OF WHAT SIZE?
If you are unsure which size or gauge to order, I suggest getting the nose ring sizing pack. It's only $5, and you get to try three nose rings in three different sizes and three gauges. The link for the sizing pack is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174947112469
