Nose Piercing FAQ: What type of nose jewelry is best to wear in a newly pierced nose?
When you have your piercing done, the best type of nose jewelry is the captive bead ring-often referred to as the CBR. Because of the way it is made, it is easy to keep both the healing skin and the jewelry clean. You also do not want to bother with something that has a backing while you are healing. However, if you really want a stud, then get a stud. If you settle for a ring when you what you want is a stud, then you won’t have the patience to wait for the entire healing period before you switch your jewelry, and that can lead to scarring. Just keep it clean! But just as important is the type of metal-go for gold that is 14k, 18k, or 22k, or surgical-quality stainless steel.
