Gold Nose Studs

The hand-stamped pattern design of this solid karat gold nose stud was hand-smithed using recycled 18KY yellow gold and then soldered onto a 14KY yellow gold commercial stud.

For my first foray into pierced body jewelry beyond the ear, I wanted to use a size trusted to be ideal for the nose and these lightweight 22 gauge solid gold wire studs were perfect. The approximate circumference of the mostly round disks is between: 3.5-4mm
