septum rings

Bull nose adornment

A septum ring is jewelry worn through a pierced nasal septum—the cartilage dividing the nostrils.

The ring hangs from the center of the nose, visible below the tip.

Styles range from simple hoops to ornate clickers.

Septum piercings have roots in various indigenous cultures but gained mainstream popularity in alternative fashion: She flipped her septum ring up to hide it at work.
