No, just no. Zero stars. Infected my healed piercing of 20+ years.
My nose has been pierced & healed for 20+ years now, and I’ve never had an issue with *any* jewelry I’ve worn in it until this ring. And I definitely don’t always buy quality jewelry, but I’ve still never had a reaction like this even with other inexpensive pieces. First off- it’s extremely sharp on both ends, so putting it in and wearing it was painful. It was constantly stabbing both the inside & outside of my nose, and the whole thing is so thin that it’s like a wire that wants to slice through your skin with any sort of movement. It discolored my nose within a day, turning it green wherever it was touching my skin. I should’ve taken it out at that point but it was cute (the only positive) and I’m stubborn, so I wanted it to work. I guess I thought my nose would get used to it somehow? By the third day of wearing it I noticed the whole side of my nose was pink, *really* red around the ring, and extremely sore, too. I looked even closer and it was crusty as if it had been oozing, and a bump was forming on the edge of the hole where the jewelry was touching my skin. When I noticed it was also hot to the touch, I realized it was infected and I needed to take it out right away… another painful process. Luckily some saltwater flushing & antibiotic ointment have it mostly back to normal now, and I learned my lesson on cheap body jewelry made with unknown materials. Don’t. do. it. It’s definitely not worth it.
