Delivery £30+
Create a sparkling floral focal point with this Opal Flower L-Bend Nose Stud. Its five-petal design combines a luminous faux opal centre with delicate clear crystal accents, available in Silver or Gold.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
✓ Statement Flower Design: Five open petals lined with sparkling clear crystals surround an iridescent faux opal centre.
✓ Silver or Gold: Choose cool-toned platinum plating or a warm 14K gold-plated finish to coordinate with your jewellery.
✓ L-Bend Post: The angled 6mm post sits inside the nostril to help keep the stud in position without a separate backing.
💎 The Detail
Decorative and light-catching, this flower stud combines colourful opal-effect detail with a sparkling crystal outline. Its larger botanical topper creates a more prominent look than a traditional petite nose stud.
The 316L surgical steel post measures 20 Gauge (0.8mm) with a 6mm wearable length. Check that this fine gauge and the flower’s overall dimensions suit your fully healed nostril piercing before ordering.
Insert and remove the post gently, following its L-shaped angle. Protect the plated finish and stone settings from prolonged moisture, perfumes and abrasive cleaning products, and handle the flower carefully when changing the jewellery.
Sold individually.

How is nose jewellery measured?
Nose studs: Gauge refers to the thickness of the post. Post length refers to the wearable section of the jewellery.
Nostril hoops: Gauge refers to the thickness of the ring, while diameter is measured across the inside of the hoop.
Everyone’s anatomy is different. If possible, measure jewellery that already fits you comfortably.
