Choosing the right type of nose jewellery is dependent chiefly upon the type of nose piercing you have done. Here is a primer on the type of popular piercings and suggested jewellery wears that go with each type of piercings.
Although, there are several ways in which nose can be pierced for wearing jewellery, three main types are popular and can be carried out with much ease. Nose piercings are generally intended for women, but there is no bar if men bordering on being punkish or being lovers of feminism wish their noses be pierced.
Nostril Piercing
By far the most popular method standing next in importance to earlobe piercing is the nostril prick. In South Asian societies girls as they reach puberty are subjected to nostril piercing more due to culture and traditions than due to any religious dictates. The Tamil word “Mookuthi” began to be used for nostril piercing and is a lingua franca in several countries in South and South East Asia. Soft skin on the nasal airway is pierced, rather in painful manner in these societies. Some are resorting to modern surgical piercing to avoid infection. The exact point of piercing in the nasal airway is generally decided by elders taking into account of the softer part of skin and equally for reasons of cosmics. Piercing high or low is often preceded with a discussion on which nostril, left or right should to be pierced.
In India it is generally left nostril while Afghans prefer right nostril and in Near East it is not uncommon to see women having both nostrils pierced. Europeans, on the other hand choose piercing in random manner and have introduced many such types, most of these confined within their shores.
Nose pins, nose studs nose hooks and plugs are appropriate as jewellery on either or both nostrils. Out of these nose studs are in big demand. These studs come in different shapes and usually set in gems and/or diamonds. Variety of shapes includes circle, dome, cone, pyramid as well as depicting animal, bird and shoot of plant. Some display geometrical drawing to make it more illustrative. Nose screw and L-shaped pin get berth in the pin segment of nose jewellery while loops and hooks are classified under hooks generally. Plugs are often resorted to be worn as sleepers in order to avoid closing of the prick when desired nose jewellery is yet to be bought.
Septum Piercing
Next in importance is piercing septum that functions as a wall dividing right and left airways. The soft skin lying between the wall and the bottom of the nose is selected for piercing. Septum piercing is common among dancers, artists, artisans and amongst ancient societies including aborigines in Australia and Pacific.
Nose ring is the jewellery for septum piercing, followed by loops & hooks. Nose rings are usually closed or tucked in with a bead. This is called captive bead ring. A range of hooks and loops are available in the gem & jewellery market place. These are curls, plugs and curved barbell and circular barbell with a market place name of horseshoe.
Bridge Piercing
Most sensitive out of all piercings, bridge prick must be carefully handled less you damage your skin. Located on the top of the nose bone and in between two eyes, there cannot be any other spot skin flap in your body so much sensitive for purpose of piercing. Once completed meticulously, the piercing should never be neglected, lest it is susceptible to external infection.
Recommended only for women who need this piercing badly due to reason of cosmics more than aesthetics, bridge piercing is adorned with tiny jewellery of great glitz. Curved barbell is much sought after, nose jewellery for this spot.
Choice of Metals & Cosmic Gems
For all purposes the most suitable metal is gold, followed by silver and platinum. Titanium is also catching up in the Chinese dominated regions. Cosmic gems chosen from the world of gems & crystals along with sparkling diamonds afford class and clarity. Apart from aesthetics, most of this nose jewellery can easily pass off as cosmic jewellery, provided, that, metal and cosmic gems are chosen wisely for harnessing cosmic energy in women.
