Really happy with this purchase! My nose is between sizes so it's been a hard journey to find the right hoop. 1/4 is too small and 5/16 is too big. I got this hoop in 18g 5/16 yellow gold. The gap/opening in this hoop was much wider than other hoops I have but that's ok. It just made inserting it that much easier. Once inserted, I just squeezed that gap closed and the hoop is perfectly sized for my nostril. I feel confident it is 14k because it was easy to squeeze closed (gold is a soft metal). I hope they restock the yellow gold because I'd like to buy more of these as backups.

Great nose hoop. No nickle sensitivity for me. The fat end is a little small so it comes through my piercing while cleaning sometimes, and in my sleep. (It is very hard to find.) Generally it stays in though. No problems blowing my nose or anything. I am going to try a silicone ring on it to prevent it coming through. Hopefully it doesn't make it too short. Otherwise I may try thickening the fat end with some silicone glue or gel polish. We shall see. No tarnish even though I use acidic vitamin C oil on my nose daily. I never take the ring out. One Q&A said there was nickle in the White-gold version. I am very sensitive to nickle and had not read that question before buying. However, I have no problems with this ring. I never feel it. So, I am inclined to doubt whether that answer was correct.

Amazing nose ring! Good quality, small, but def my style

Its amazing how light it feels in my nose. Super comfortable! I've been wearing a nosenail with a disc before, but this is way better!

Love this! Dainty and most importantly flexible. My nostril piercing is higher than usual due to my nose shape so a regular hoop wouldn't sit how I wanted it to. I bent this one to my desired shape. This hoop matches my gold setup perfectly. Also - this open hoop is just as hard to put in as other open hoops. A few practice attempts is all you really need. Would absolutely recommend!

A lovely, simple hoop that despite what other have said, was easy to put in.

Much more difficult to insert than I thought it would be :(.

I love this hoop!! It's the best one I've tried and I keep re-ordering it when I lose it.

Tiny and delicate. I'm hoping the 5/16" will be a big enough diameter. Especially since there weren't any other options.

Good for the price, but the end was rough and hurt to put in. would be better if the end was smoothed out instead of a raw cut like it appears to be.
