They’re often called "nostril chains", because a common place to wear them is between two nostril piercings and across the top of the nose. The way to do this is to make sure the jewelry in your nostril has a larger end than the jump ring on the chain. This way you won't lose your chain.

Hook the chain on one side, by sliding it over your nose screw or nose bone, then insert the jewelry into your piercing. Then, insert the other piece of jewelry through the jump ring and then place that jewelry in the piercing.

If you're wearing labrets in your nostrils with threaded or threadless ends (it's pretty comfy for a lot of people and you may want to give it a shot) insert the labret through the piercing inside your nostril until the tip pokes out. Set one of the chain’s jump rings around it gently, and then insert the end into the labret and secure it. Repeat on the other side and you're done! Remember that to keep the chain secure you’ll want to make sure to use ends that are larger than the inner diameter of the jump rings.

Quite a few places. The most common are the nostril and bridge piercings, but they can also be strung from piercing to piercing in the ear (see above). They can be worn between a nostril piercing and the septum. They can also be worn between the nostril or septum and a philtrum piercing, but be sure to leave plenty of room for your lip to move around!

They can also be worn from the front to the back of a labret piercing. Hook the labret through one jump ring and insert into the piercing. String the chain out of the mouth, and then insert the end securing the chain in place. This can be a bit dangerous as too long a chain might interfere with chewing or damage the teeth. It's also possible to break or snag the chain on someone else's piercing when kissing or performing oral sex on someone with genital piercings. Or when eating, vaping, or doing anything with your lips around some other object.

Basically, you want to make sure the chain doesn't snag on anything. Drying your mouth with a towel? Yup, that can snag. Be cautious about wearing a short chain this way!

The ideal way is to cut a small strip of string and use that to measure, if going over the bridge of the nose. A piece of string can also be curved to get an idea of where the chain will fall across ear piercings. If you're between sizes, you'll always want to go a size up.

And that's it! Enjoy the amazing world of short jewelry chains! And remember, even if you got it for your nostrils, you can repurpose it to tons of other piercings.
