Hand-crafted, Solid Gold Gemstone Nose Stud

Elevate your everyday look with this elegant, hand-fabricated solid gold nose stud featuring a brilliant gemstone centerpiece. Expertly crafted from 14 karat yellow gold, each nose stud is carefully finished by hand to ensure lasting quality and comfort.

Nose studs are a timeless way to express individuality with subtle sophistication. Whether you’re adding a touch of sparkle to your daily style or marking a special occasion, this piece blends luxury with effortless wearability.

Every piece is handmade by me — a queer, trans, independent goldsmith.
My prices reflect honest materials, a living wage, and care for the planet — not mass production or inflated markups. Supporting this work means supporting real craft and community.

Customize Your Nose Stud:

• Select your gemstone: options include yellow citrine, black spinel, blue sapphire, ruby, or lab-created diamond — each carefully sourced for clarity and color.
  

The model shown wears a 18K Rose Gold with Citrene for a warm, modern accent.

Every nose stud combines the inherent value of solid gold with expert craftsmanship, making it a meaningful addition to your jewelry collection or a thoughtful gift.

Cultural Significance

In pre-colonial Filipinx culture, gold was much more than a precious metal — it was believed to hold the energy of our ancestors and to nurture the goodness within our souls. Wearing gold was also a powerful form of protection. To guard against unwanted spirits and malevolent energies, it was important to wear gold jewelry at the body's openings — such as the nose, ears, and eyes — effectively sealing these entry points and preserving spiritual well-being.

By choosing a solid gold nose stud, you’re not only embracing a beautiful accessory but also honoring a profound cultural tradition rooted in protection, heritage, and ancestral connection.

The True Cost of Ethical Craft

I’m an independent, queer, trans goldsmith crafting every piece by hand — not mass-produced, not outsourced. My pricing reflects real material costs, a living wage for my labor, and a commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.

I don’t believe in inflated markups or exploitative production — just honest work, priced to support a small artist’s life and craft in a capitalist world that undervalues both.

Please Note:
For hygiene reasons, all body jewelry is final sale. Each septum spike is made to order and will ship within 6–8 weeks. Due to the handcrafted nature of this piece, slight variations in texture are to be expected — your spike will be one of a kind and may differ slightly from the example shown.

Thank you so much for supporting my handmade work! Please note that your country may charge customs duties, taxes, or import fees when your order arrives. These are set by your local government and are the responsibility of the buyer. I truly appreciate your understanding and support—it means the world to me!
