Septum jewelry comes in unique materials and fancy designs

Septum piercing is the piercing of the cartilaginous divide between the nostrils.

Usually the area which is known as the sweet spot is pierced, which is near to the

cartilage. This piercing has to be done carefully as there are many nerves ending in

this area of the nose. Many types of jewelry are worn after the healing of the septum

piercing. Mostly CBR’s are preferred which are captive bead rings which need to be

worn in the septum piercing. The important points to be kept in mind are that

piercing heals very slowly and it takes nearly one month to heal properly. If you want

to put thicker bar bells or other kind of thicker variety of septum jewelry then

stretches can be done only at a phase of one millimeter a time. And it is not

advisable to have stretches of more than eight millimeter as it could be extremely

uncomfortable. When one is planning to go in for large gauge septum’s, it is better to

chose plugs as these do not weigh their noses down which helps in the process of

healing. This also helps in less damage of the pierced area due to some kind of jerk

or sudden movement of the jewelry.
