Nose Ring Guide: Styles, Fit, and Care

If you’re scrolling through our nose ring collection, you probably have a few questions: which style looks best, how to pick the right size, and how to keep it sparkling. We’ve put together a quick, no‑fluff guide that answers all of that. Think of it as a cheat sheet you can come back to every time you shop or clean your nose jewelry.

Popular Nose Ring Styles

Indian nose jewelry comes in a handful of styles that have stuck around for generations. The most common are:

• Nose Stud (Nose Pin): A tiny, straight piece that sits flush against the skin. Perfect for everyday wear and easy to pair with any outfit.
• Nose Hoop: A small circular or semi‑circular hoop that frames the nostril. It adds a subtle statement without being too bold.
• Nose Screw: Looks like a tiny screw and is meant for a snug fit. It’s great if you like a secure feel.
• Jhumka‑Style Nose Rings: These have a tiny dangle or enamel work, mimicking the classic jhumka earring.
• Gem‑Set Nose Pins: Small diamonds, rubies, or emeralds set into the tip of the stud. They catch the light and make a festive touch.

When you choose, think about the occasion and your personal comfort. A plain stud works for office days, while a gem‑set pin shines at weddings or parties.

Caring for Your Nose Ring

Keeping a nose ring clean is easier than you think. Follow these steps:

1. Wash your hands. Always start with clean hands to avoid transferring bacteria.
2. Use warm water and mild soap. Soak the ring for a couple of minutes, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush.
3. Rinse thoroughly. Make sure no soap residue is left; it can cause irritation.
4. Dry with a clean cloth. Pat it dry, don’t rub, to keep the metal from scratching.
5. Disinfect weekly. A quick dip in a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution helps keep germs at bay.

If you notice redness, swelling, or a persistent ache, remove the ring and give the area a break. A short pause often lets the skin heal, and you can re‑insert after a day or two.

Choosing the right metal matters too. Gold (22K or 18K) and platinum are hypoallergenic, while some silver or alloy pieces can cause a mild reaction. At RH Jewellers we offer BIS‑hallmarked gold rings, so you know you’re getting genuine, nickel‑free metal.

Fit is another crucial factor. A ring that’s too tight can pull at the piercing, and a loose one might slip out. Measure the gauge (the thickness) and the length of the post before you buy. If you’re unsure, our customer care team can guide you through a quick at‑home measurement using a simple ruler or a piece of string.

Finally, store your nose rings properly. Keep them in a soft pouch or a zip‑lock bag separate from other jewelry to avoid scratches. If you have multiple pieces, label each pouch – it saves time when you’re looking for that perfect stud for a special event.

Now you’ve got the basics: know the styles, pick the right size, and keep it clean. Whether you’re buying your first nose ring or adding to a collection, RH Jewellers has a range that fits every budget and taste. Ready to browse? Your next favorite nose piece is just a click away.
