Keep in mind the size of nose jewelry you want to buy on-line. Metal sizes range from 14 gauge to over 20 gauge and gems range from 1 mm and up. Most sellers will offer a variety of lengths for nose jewelry, taking into account different nose shapes and sizes. If you can’t find the length you need, you can have jewelry custom made.

Learn if you have any allergies to metals. Nose jewelry is made of surgical steel, anodized surgical steel, sterling silver, gold, gold plated sterling silver/surgical steel, titanium, BioPlastic, and platinum. Surgical steel is the metal that will cause the least amount of allergies.
