1. A classic surgical steel nose ring with a *super* convenient clasp touting over 20,000 5-star reviews from people who can't stop talking about how awesome this little number is.
Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for a 'fitted' nose hoop for a long time now. This hoop is AMAZING and I’ll likely order a few more as back-ups! Not only did the sizing diagram show the specific dimension, but it has an open/close latch! How cool is THAT? Now I don’t have to worry about it becoming misshapen from continually opening/closing it. This hoop is beyond perfect for me. Fits just right. Did you know that it also lets me see into the future? 🤔 Sure does! I can see myself coming back verrrry soon! 🤣" —Jennifer

Promising review: "If you like a comfortable, snug fit, then these are the go-to choice for your septum. I bought these hoping they would be a little snugger than the original jewelry that I was pierced with, and they were. They come in a variety of colors, so the options are great. The ones I ordered were 16g 8mm. Very sturdy and easy to thread the balls on the end." —Ck

4. A double hoop nose ring so you can skip the trip to the piercing shop and create the ~illusion~ of two holes.
And what better way to complement your new double nose ring than with a double hoop earring like the one in this story?
Promising review: "I saw this on double hoop nose ring on TikTok and immediately had to order it because I’ve been wanting a second nose piercing but I don’t need to get that because there’s these. I am now going to order one in every color. It fits perfectly and wasn’t too hard to put it in. The video is super helpful! I love it." —Lindsey T
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes, two styles, and six colors).
5. A tiny 14-karat white gold nose stud with a twist screw back for anyone who appreciates a simple, minimalistic look.
Promising review: "This nose stud sparkles when the light hits the diamond, it fits snugly, and it doesn’t get caught on anything – not even on my hubby’s beard. Also, the prong doesn’t show like most I have tried, which is a must/need for me. The size is perfect; it's noticeable but not too loud and not too small either. Definitely worth the purchase!" —Nika
Get it from Amazon for $65+ (available in three diamond sizes).
6. A sparkly pave cubic zirconia hinged nose ring that'll ✨ "shine bright like a diamond" ✨ whenever the light hits it (without needing to spend nearly as much as you would on actual diamonds).
Promising review: "Awwww I love my new little sparkly nose ring! Easy to snap open, put on and snap shut. I love that it’s a full circle, so it doesn’t slide all over the place and look weird the way half rings do. There is so much sparkle that comes from it. I absolutely 10/10 recommend." —Andracula Celeste
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four gauge sizes and eight inner diameter options).
7. A clear nose ring if you're looking for a more subtle piece of jewelry without risking your piercing closing up.
Promising review: "I bought these for my PET scans and MRIs that I have to do every three months or so. I didn’t have any trouble swapping out my jewelry and insertion was easy. It’s not completely invisible but I’m also not trying to cover it up I just needed something to ensure my piercing didn’t close up." —Erika De La Riva
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and sets of 20, 30, or 60).

10. A set of 20 nose ring studs with screw backs so you can get a whole bunch of 'em with the click of a button and effortlessly match the rest of your jewelry every day.
Promising review: "These nose rings are as described. They stay in my nose. I get so many compliments on the big 'disco ball' one. That one is pretty big but that was the look I was going for. A great deal for the number of nose studs you get. I would recommend them to a friend. No irritation or allergies for me." —Mrs. Superman
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six styles).
11. A unique stainless-steel snake rose ring to ~slither~ its way into your daily jewelry rotation.
Psst, this would also look super cool with the rose quartz snake necklace in this story!
Promising review: "I was looking for a smaller septum ring that wasn't super noticeable but was still had a design on it (not like gems or anything). This was perfect. It lays right up against my septum and does not dangle. The etching gives it a nice look without being flashy. I have been wearing it consistently for a month and it has not turned or caused irritation." —SarahMonroe
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes and 18 colors).
12. A set of surgical stainless-steel nose ring studs reviewers say are super comfortable. Even professional body piercers approve of these lil' studs and say they're a great value!
Promising review: "You can’t really tell in the photo but each of the four-color sets come with three different shaped stones, you get a heart-shaped stone, round stone, and a star-shaped stone!!! I was super happy and excited when I took them out of the package and saw the different stones. Each different-colored set comes in its own small zip lock bag so you aren’t dumping all the nose rings out to find the one you want! I’m a body piercer and I will be buying more of these for my customers!!! The amount of nose rings you get for this price is awesome, if you go to a piercing shop or place that sells body jewelry you will pay close to $5–$10 just for one nose ring so this is a great value!!!" —Noelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 10 colors).
13. And a fake nose ring juuust in case you made it to the end of this list and decided you'd rather just skip the whole get-a-piercing thing.
Promising review: "This fake nose ring totally looks real. Love it. It goes on really easy, once you get it situated and clamped down it doesn’t really move a whole lot either! This fake nose ring is a good noncommittal way to see how it looks before going to get the real thing done, or if you don’t want a real one!" —Charles
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 15 varieties).
I cannot, for the life of me, stop thinking about that one Lizzie McGuire episode where Lizzie had a nose ring in and told her parents to take a "chill pill." So, without further ado, a GIF of the iconic moment to celebrate the existence of nose rings:
