The Different Types Of Nose Rings For Your Enjoyment
If you are considering getting your nose pierced or you have just gotten pierced
, you may not realize that you have a lot of different options where nose rings are concerned. With so many different jewelry options you can choose the fashion statement that really fits who you are and the way that you want to look. Knowing what your options are will allow you to play with all of the different options, and perhaps change them out based on the look you are trying to create.
Captive bead rings are one of your choices; in fact they are the most common. These nose rings feature a metal ring with one bead in the middle of the ring. They have the name captive bead ring because they are usually made of a ring of metal that holds one bead captive by the tension of the ring. This is a very nice look that has both its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is quite secure and won't just fall out, but this can also be a disadvantage because it can be difficult to remove on your own without help or a special tool.
Seamless nose rings are also popular, although they cannot be used when you get your nose pierced but they can be used once the piercing heals. This type of ring is made of a smooth piece of metal that goes all the way around the ring and then overlaps and then fits inside the rest of the ring. The ring is just pulled apart slightly, slipped into the piercing, and then the overlapping part is placed over the thinner inside portion so the ring looks seamless.
Curved barbells are another of the popular types of nose rings. This type of nose ring features a straight or curved barbell that has two balls on either and that screw on. It looks much like the captive bead ring, except that it does not make a full circle. This type of nose ring is very popular, although they tend to cause irritation in some people because they can move around an awful lot.
These are just the nose rings that you can purchase. You can also enjoy nose studs that are just a small stud that fits right into the piercing but is not actually a nose ring.
The nose stud is much more understated, but is very beautiful.
