Definitely make sure to measure your septum (cartilage part between the nostrils in the middle of the nose) before ordering this as it is NOT adjustable. I've always considered myself to have a rather wide nose, but average sized septum, but I really did struggle to get this on. I had to push and wiggle quite a bit and was very concerned I would injure myself, so you want to make sure it's going to fit before buying.

Once I managed to get it past the 'hump' so to speak, it was a lot looser on and didn't pinch or scratch, but I do think the design would be more comfortable and flattering if the tips were turned to sit against the inner nose. The ends of the hoop are also a circle with one flattened side and a wholly round ball would be softer against the delicate tissue of the nose. (See pictures for clarification).

Unfortunately, the one I received also has a visible metal 'overspill' line where the two halves of the product joined. It wasn't enough to ruin it, but it wasn't perfect as shown in the official product pictures either.

Despite this, it's still a very nice product. The gems are extremely sparkly and it's a great size. To my taste it's a little big, but I've seen this style before and it's supposed to be pretty flashy, a statement piece and on that this faux-septum certainly delivers!

I got this for my younger sister who has become obsessed with piercings of lately and is far to young to actually get a real one so I thought I could get her some costume jewellery.

This ended up being the perfect size and was very easy to wear. It is so pretty with the rose gold color and the sparkly stones and it really is a statement piece without any of the pain, Perfect! I purchased this at a discount from Amazon for my sister who was super happy when I gave her this and loved how it looked.
