septum ring

Bull-style nose adornment

A septum ring is a piece of jewelry worn through a piercing in the nasal septum—the thin wall of cartilage between the nostrils.

The ring hangs from the center of the nose, often as a horseshoe-shaped or circular hoop.

Septum piercings have roots in various indigenous cultures but became popular in Western fashion and counterculture: She flipped her septum ring up to hide it at work.
