How to Choose a Nose Ring
Who knew that buying such a small piece of jewelry came with so many decisions? Fortunately, AlluringBody has done most of the work for you by offering the finest nose rings you can buy - All handcrafted in the USA and backed by a lifetime guarantee. The only thing left for you to do is decide which one (or two!) suits your personal style. Here's the inside information on selecting the perfect look, fit, and materials.
All About Posts
The post, also called the tail, is what secures the ring to your nose. This is the foundation of your nose ring-the metal that's in constant contact with your sensitive skin - so a quality post is essential.
Shape
AlluringBody nose rings are available as studs (also known as bones or pins) and screws (or U-shaped).
We have found the U-shape to be superior over the L-shape for healed piercings, so we don't carry the L-shape.
Metals
AlluringBody only offers nose rings made of 100% nickel-free solid gold. They are simply beautiful and the best you can buy. We don't use cheap alloys, which means that our high-quality jewelry won't irritate your skin.
Stainless steel and titanium, two of the most commonly used metals for body jewelry, are biocompatible (meaning they're not harmful to your skin), but they are also not very attractive. Sterling silver is also common, but you should avoid it completely. Its tarnish can cause irritation or permanent skin discoloration.
It is important to note that a lot of body jewelry comes from China, where it is often difficult to determine metal purity. All AlluringBody nose jewelry is handcrafted in our state of the art jewelry studio, and conforms to the highest standards for metal purity.
Comfort
Attention to small, potentially irritating details is also crucial when selecting a nose ring. Some companies sacrifice your comfort by not polishing the post metal that's inserted through your nose. Ouch! AlluringBody eliminates that discomfort by carefully finishing each nose stud and screw to a smooth, fine polish.
Setting Options
AlluringBody diamonds are expertly set-not glued in as most body jewelers do. AlluringBody offers two setting options. Each is designed to lay as flat as possible on the nose, making for an exquisitely comfortable, attractive fit.
Prongs: Shows off more of the diamond, lets more light in, allowing for greater sparkle
Bezel: Sits slightly lower and is slightly more comfortable
Our Diamonds
You'll notice that AlluringBody uses only high-quality, conflict-free diamonds in our nose rings. Just like our decision to offer only the best metals and finishes, we refuse to sell anything less than brilliant, ethically obtained diamonds. As many unhappy cubic zirconia nose ring owners can attest, cheap jewelry can turn green (or worse, brown!) after a couple of weeks. Why buy an inferior product when you can purchase an AlluringBody diamond that will retain its brilliance for a lifetime?

When determining the right diamond size for you, take into account your personal taste, work environment, and facial features. If you enjoy sporting large pieces of jewelry, you'll be happiest with a larger diamond. Also consider the size of your nose. A 3pt diamond may overwhelm a smaller nose, whereas a 1pt diamond may go unnoticed on a more prominent nose. If you are still undecided, keep in mind that nose rings are like any other kind of jewelry; one may not fit all of your needs. Many customers order a selection that reflect their changing activities and moods.
Outstanding product(s), customer service, and turn around time for mail ordering. Definitely the perfect addition to any nose jewelry collection.
