PVD titanium over 316LVM surgical steel N/A Nostril Each piece sold individually. The Purple PVD 3/4 Nose Hoop is a hoop created especially for nostril piercings. Starting from inside your nose, thread the hoop through your piercing until the disc sits flat against the inside of your nostril. 3/4 hoops give a seamless ring look without the work of trying to click a loose segment or bead into a hoop. If you're new to body jewelry, traditional segment rings and captive bead rings can be a bit tricky to get in. This eliminates that! Looking for a full hoop with the same ease? Try our . The Purple Titanium 3/4 Nose Hoop is 316LVM surgical steel coloured with PVD titanium! 316LVM surgical steel is a low carbon vacuum melted. This process sucks the nickel from the metal. Nickel is a common cause of metal allergies. Please note: this process cannot remove all the nickel. As a result, a small number of people react to 316LVM surgical steel. If this is you, we recommend titanium body jewelry. Otherwise, 316LVM surgical steel is great for people with mild to moderate metal allergies. The surgical steel goes through a process called Physical Vapour Deposition to give it its colourful layer. The desired colour deposits onto the steel as vapour. PVD is stronger than traditional plating, meaning the colour will last longer. This piece is a favourite for nostril piercings because it's so easy to wear.
