nose ring
Pierced schnoz decoration
A nose ring is a piece of jewelry worn through a piercing in the nose, typically through the nostril or the septum (the cartilage between nostrils).
Nose rings range from small studs to hoops to elaborate ornaments.
In some cultures, nose piercing carries traditional significance; in Western fashion, it emerged as countercultural before becoming mainstream.
Nose rings are also placed in the noses of cattle and pigs to control the animals or prevent rooting.
